Chart. more details!
Motors are Merlin Gen 4 blocks with Dart Pro1 heads, 12 quart pans, full roller 650hp + with fresh Huber trans and ASD7 Arneson bravo conv. Switched the gear ratio back to 1.56 and need to get some test time this week. Gps last year was 80,with 100gal fuel, would like to see 87+. Docking is easy, running a high volume/pressure PS pump to keep up demand around the dock @ low idle. Paint/airbrush was done out west by last owner. Lilly Sport Boats will be doing the touch up next week.

Purchased the boat in January from Shipyard Marine, picked it up last month from Wis. to Cleve Ohio. Very happy with the purchase. I agonized over 2 seasons and narrowed it down to Fountain 35 or Formula 35. The main reason for either of the "F" brands is they have a windshield and both offered blue engines with XR drives. Performance parts for me, windshield to make running fast easier for my wife. If it was all about the speed a Fountain would be in my drive, in fact I missed 2 Fountain 35s in the fall at Pier 57 with $ in hand. Worked out for the best for us, the extra amenities and space in the cockpit and cabin are really nice to have. Yes I gave up some MPH, but sometimes its not always about me. Really enjoy this boat and hope to meet up with OSO members at Thunderfest on Lake Erie or Lake Cumberland in September. [ATTACH=CONFIG]502075[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]502076[/ATTACH]

Looks good! The Formula has more room then the Fountain so if you stay on it that helps....

I've posted a pic before but took this one Tuesday with the Dmax hooked up after moving the boat up on the trailer 8in. Rides better and feel safer now that the transom is actually sitting on the bunks.
