42 fountain straight bottom 100 mph

[Jesse James]

whats it take ...say a triple bravo set up or twin # 6 set up

if memory serves correctly..I thought reggie had around 1200 per side in the old ohio steel 42 when he set it at 123.....remember the triple scarab vs fountain twin wars of the 90's

 

[Ted]

A stripped down 40 (same boat no platform) can do it with a little under 900 per side, 5's and boxes.

 

[Jesse James]

and the five is slightly more efficient than the six as far as consuming power?

 

[Griff]

I think a dry sump SSM6 uses even less power than a SSM5

 

[masher44]

Twin 1000s, wet 6s is available for sale at grand lake now

 

[Jesse James]

is that the center steer boat of frost? will it crank over 100?

The dry sump 6 would be way more efficient than the 5. And the boat I'm talking about was older, heavier. Use a 42 built later and it should be lighter.

Yes x 2

 

[later]

early triple 525 boats were mid 80's, David Scotts triple 650's ? did shoot out low 100's like 106 ish, Ohio Steel old race boat mid 90's with 900's, which triple fountain did you buy down at the lake?

the one that sat at boats unlimited for about 6 years...and was docked in across the cove from ledges condo's for years....42 signature trip 502...


I dont think the red center steer boat had 6's i think it had 4's or 5's if you are talking about the one jim roth owned at about the 5.5 mm on the main channel

I think the one on grand came from texoma and was a ross perot boat.....that is a very week memory on that story at best...think it had big ford motors in it at one point..???

 

[WeaponX]

I thought you was a Cougar fan??:sifone:

[Jesse James]

That's right.

It's been 100% restored & updated with EVERYTHING. Pretty sweet ride with the center steer.

Lets see some pictures. I loved that boat, it had some pretty radical ford's in it at one time.

 

[Jesse James]

yeah would love to see some pictures.... maybe frost is ready for a condo on LOTO.....or all u e-dockers could chip in and have a loto party pad/rental prop... and I could buy that one also??????

What is the story with that boat? Why did it sit at BU for so long? If I remember correctly, I didn't think it was priced to bad.

 

[Jesse James]

no story really...guy got divorced...then kept getting the loto broker shuffle...I have put ten hours on it and it runs great...

Man, I don't have a single picture of it for some reason. It's been stored away for a few years, which began right after the last updates were done. "P Offshore" is Erik, the owners screen name. Hopefully he'll chime in.

I saw it two weeks ago. Mint. And the rumor mill has it that it may be getting completed this Spring..... :cheers2:
