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

    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
