Hydromotive or Hearing?

Going with a new set of props and have decided between Hydromotive or Hearing. Hearing is considerably more but I have been told they will perform better for my particular boat and set-up. Any...

Re: Dumb things people say to you at the boat ramp

How fast,
How much,

Re: Fountain vs. Formula - Honest Question; Sincere Answers Appreciated

I made the change from a Formula to a Fountain. I liked the Formula, my wife loved it, but I felt like it was "jack of all trades, master of none." I think the Formula has a better interior, more...

Re: Ordering a 38... what power?

I guess I need to add that I'm also looking at the 38 Donzi ZR. At the Miami show the Donzi guys guarantee 105 MPH with Merc 600's.

Fountain or Donzi?

Ordering a 38... what power?

I am about to order a new 38' Lightning. A must is to bust 100MPH. I don't think the new Merc 600's will cut it but don't want to go to the 850's with 6 drives. So... Sterling 750's (carb only)?...

Re: Miami Boat Show

I heard the Donzi guys saying the Merc 600's would push the 38' to 105 when dialed in... If true, that might make me forget about my Fountain.

Re: ?496 Mag Ho Or Hp 525 Efi?

If fuel economy is a concern forget boats and get a harley. As for me and my family, 525's are worth the money. Of course, if you are a real speed freak you'll still want more power by the end of...

Re: 35 Lightning Hatch Mirror's

The vibration could be a problem if not installed well. As for heat, the Fountains are so well ventilated there is no problem.

Re: 35 (Single step) owners -speed#'s

I don't want to... but I think you're right. The cost to make those changes will be around $8K+. It would be dissapointing to spend the $ for nothing. Even if it did work I'm still shy of 100. I...

Re: 35 (Single step) owners -speed#'s

I made the switch to a Fountain from a Baja. My Baja buddies were just jealous.

From what I hear, a change to 1.36...

Be somewhat gentle when getting on and off the throttles. If leaving the water often go easy on re-entry and your Bravo I should work out OK for a while.
