I seen a guy with a 42 fountain running down the lake a few weeks ago. It was shooting a pretty good tail out the back. I ran into him later and asked what he had and he said twin 600sc's with extension boxes and XR drives. Seemed to be putting a large tail for that kind of power. My buddy had a triple 525sc motor and there was no rooster at all.....any ideas???

Staggered Boat....

Yes

-2 Lowers?...There are only 4 - 42 boats I know of with 600's. Ive seen 2 of them. There was an Ex up here with black/purple graphics, had shorties and ran 92mph.

First Sunsation F-4 had staggered 600's/ITS/XR's with cut down skegs. Props turning in. It threw a rooster at cruise but it would lay down as you increased speed.

yep, local guy has a 42 with staggered 525's....throws a tail too. I think he spins the props in????

It has to do with drive heights... not stagger (as much)

Staggered Xr's + props turning in + high x dimension + 5 blade props =

That is between 65 and 75 mph, it lays down as you break 80/85mph.

I occasionally see a red one running between the dam and 7MM at LOTO. Love the running attitude of these boats!
