10 more feet would make crossing wakes a lot easier .

that’s what I told the wife. Plus all the extra space we’d have, for the kids, of course

On a late model 27 Fountain 3 should be neutral on the drive and parallel with the hull on the tabs.

As stated above in water with heavy traffic and unpredictable wave patterns there isn't much you can do. Run the tabs at 4-4.5 to try and keep the bow calm and slow down.

If running in wind with predictable waves use the tabs to keep the hull flat while quartering. The boat will ride super rough if you let it list and slap every wave into the side of the hull.

Every boat is different so be careful who you get advice from. Take some time by yourself and get a feel for how even small adjustments can change the ride noticeably. I found in my Velocity it prefers 50-60 in 2'-3', If I slow down I get beat to death. But I also found out the hard way that 75 and even the slightest trim over neutral in 2'-3' and you will be explaining to your wife why you are all black and blue.

someone explain to me how that a$$hat can afford a 39 unlimited? with $hit for brains on the sticks…

No, the bald dude in the Fountain with the camera crew on board now owns a 42X with 860s (I was corrected in a text ). I don't know who the dude in the green 39 that went full send in Haulover is except he still has the boat and posted some stuff on social media I beileve.

The Haulover disaster was an 1100/M8. They only made 2 39s like that

Where is this Haulover video? Haven't seen it.
Initially thought it might be this:

That's the one I was speaking of
