Talk about a handful to drive....

A 110 MPH 27' Fountain with a bravo drive? No Thanks.....maybe if it had 15 foot long trim tabs on it.

I agree completely!!!

I saw that on the "other" site, I'm surprised that motor doesn't rip the transom off the back of that thing.

Really.......I'd be surprised if that thing can do anywhere north of 85......just sayin!!

What's the problem? Looks like a big heavy safe boat to me. If anything it needs another engine or two.

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.

I meant to say "Speeds over 70" in my first post.......I've corrected it now
