That one looks good. Hard to see out because the bow is too high? Sit too deep in it in general?

Before the guy sold it our engines were making 1000hp and it ran out of prop around 125. What a ride though. He actually sold it and bought a Gladiator. Easier to tow, cheaper props, better visibility (stinks in the PR), etc. The PR was eventually repowered with 700SCIs.
Here it is with the big engines and me on the wheel. It really was a great boat...Reggie knocked that hull out of the park.

I’m not sure what weight my 39 gtx was , but I had full 6’s. Full 1150 hp blower motors all dressed up. Full cabin. And I towed it all over with a lifted 2500 with legit not a care in the world with it behind me. What an amazing boat that was. Pound for pound I’d take a this era OL, over any fountain, ever. Without even a question. But I know that’s not the topic. Just my 2 cents. This boat was a ROCKET

42 PR is on my short list of boats I love. Wicked...not sure I could do without a cabin but its one of my Fav to look at. Regardless I think 9k lift is pushing it. Call the MFG and see what safety margin they use...probably 25%. In a PR you are carrying close to 2,000lb in fuel plus gear. Even on my little boat no matter who I talk to they say 15k lift for my 9,500lb boat and not a 12k.



Off topic....I've seen your screen name here on posts for years and never put 2+2 together. Here is your boat in my shop probably right around the time you got it.
