Mikey, this is exactly what that Fountain needs. Easy tuneable, simple hp. You'll have plenty of hatch clearance with this setup, with no intercoolers. A friend of mine in Fla. did this exact setup on a mid 90's 35, had 502's with mercury 575 s/c hyd roller cams, and a lil work done to the steel heads. CMI erxhaust with no mufflers. We ran that boat well into the mid-upperr 90's everytime we took it out. Ran on 93.
Talk to Dave about this, he'll be back at the shop on wed.

Thanks for the head's-up Frankie, but like Joe said, no blowers for me. Michelle doesn't even want to go 85, much less 95!

Heather was the same way. At first she didn't like to run over 70, but after a while she got comfortable and loves the speeds now (in the right conditions). As I started to look at new boats recently and showed her a few, her exact words were "I don't want to go slower".
I could not see going back to blower motors though unless I had the right drive to put them in front of. Too many broken bravos in the past.

That wasn't the only boat it was towed behind.

Mike, we also have a pair of bigger blowers with intercoolers you can try out too, if you wanted to join the 100mph club.

Mikey, isnt it correct that the original package that was on your boat prior to your purchase was similar to this one already? I thought you were telling me it originally was 100-110 mph at one time. I know Lil D's Scarab was the same, I believe over 800 HP a side at one time I was told.

Mine ran 106 with the previous power...somewhere in the 800-850 hp range, I believe.

Yes, stock hatches. No, mine have not been modified.

Hmm. Interesting. My stock hatches needed to be modified, even to fit the small blowers. They prob woulda fit without mods only using a flat based 2" high flame arrestor.
Anyhow, 106 in the red rocket sounds like good times....although I don't think even FUN Michelle would go for it.

Us Fountain guys stick together.
I lost the more recent pictures of your blowers when my pc crashed. The porn sites get me at least a couple times a year.
