    So what exactly is the problem with that setup? Why would that be a handful? Why wouldn't it do the speed, those big boats are going way faster all the time. So the big boat guys say.

    27 Fountains have a nast reputation for Chine walking at speeds over 70.......my guess is this was the point GRADs was trying to make

    I don't pay any attention to the big boats, but I thought Fountain was one one the prime v-bottoms.

    That was exactly my point. Anyone who has been in a smaller Fountain knows.

    Actually 27 is probably closer.

    from a few years ago, but a fast 27 too
    "valakoraceheads4 years ago Thanks! The boat chine walks a little at 70 but it can be driven through. Above that it rides smooth although I wouldn't want to run the boat hard in two foot or more. I checked out your videos, very cool."
