Damn! Your jackin with everyone tonight. Don't start the ol', "Fountains aren't the size they advertise" issue again! That will open a can of worms for sure.

Like racin a B1 aganst an F15 maybe.
Something like a race with a 38 Fountain or 37 Outerlimits might have bragging rights.
As for Chicago in July...sounds like my kind of pond.

The back peddling has offically begun :D :D :D

CR38,
:eek: You saw this going down and didn't get any footage of it??? I gotta tell you, I'm amazed if a 36' anything walked a 41' Apache in the rough. In the flat stuff that's no surprise, but WOW in the rough!?!?! Was it just the driver/T-man that was much better, or was it the boat... or both?

Anyone else that can confirm this run first hand?

My guess is Mark will be doing a little more than a 're-freshening' while the motors are apart. :D:D:D

This tread is too funny..
I will byte, how short is a 42 Fountain?

Zoomnfun 01-02-2004 12:31 PM

Ouch is right! Not to stir the pot but there is a top gun in grand haven called primal instinct that will run with any 42 fountain in rough water, I promise. :)

Back4More 01-03-2004 02:13 AM

Yep, Hear its a 99 with 950's and dry 6's...should tickle a 100, i would guess.

For the record if anyone cares here is a pic and a description of the engines of Pudges Boat, I have read in powerboating and found around here.


Originally posted in Powerboating Magazine January 2004. Pages 46&47
-“Based on 598 cubic-inch Dart Big M blocks with Dart CNC oval-port cylinder heads, the first pair of Zul 775’s were installed in a Cigarette 36’ owned by Pudge Rodriguez…(the installation handled by Lipshutz Performance in Miami)… the 775 model reportedly produced 790hp and 780 ft/# of torque.”
-“The 775 is priced at $36,750”

Maybe he's doing some early handicapping for smoke? ;)

Nauti Kitty 01-04-2004 11:19 AM

Feel free Mr Addiction :)

Hey Doug are you gonna start hunting bravo butts now? ;)

Doug 01-04-2004 12:57 PM

No No About 800 more HP and 30 MPH faster. It is going to take a while to get used to the light nose. My Mistress was pretty balanced. A friend of mine just went from a Mistress to a TG that runs over 100 MPH and said it is a hole new experience. Sound like it needs lots of tab.
Besides with the side by side bolster set up it's easier for Betty to yell at me to slow down. Before I just told her I could't hear her. :D
