42 sporting 385-525-385 ???
What do guys think, pocket change(PC) and I pulled his center motor this fall after it took a **** at the end of the year. We had talked of several ideas, and an article I read in Family and Performance Boating Magazine caught my eye. A guy with a 37 stiletto changed his 3X500 setup to a 500-650-500 set-up for several mph. PC and I were thinking why not just drop a 525 in the center, prop it right, and boom it will be faster. Then later he could always match up the other two motors. What do you see as potential probs, other than more center drive wear. Midnight

Chad,
I'd give Marty at Fountain a call. He seems to be the most knowledgeable at the factory. I always thought the load should be the same on all three engines until I read a post about using a different sized prop on the center engine. Not many of us Fountain boys, and girls, have knowledge with those triple engine boats.
I thought I read a post about you not being 30 yet. Must be nice! I need to start building homes for a living.
How is your dash project coming? It's only 32 days till the launch opens!!

My 29th B-Day Party is going to be at SOTW this June, You have to try and get up there. I was surprised how many 20's are on the board with some sweet rides. I'm working on the boat today, I'm ordering the rest of my dash parts next week, and looking online today for mb quartz speakers and some amps( Oh, as long as my new boss doesn't stop me). I was complaining to PC last night at Kid Rock how that new house I bought to appeeze the wife is draining me, blinds, entertainment centers, couches, chairs, towels, comforters, slow down there girl!
I was thinking about buying a C-5 body Vette like that shooter PC has and the Wife threw a fit; the boat, all those parts, and now that, no way! I'm definately loosing control of my household, I wouldn't have believed it , had you told me it would happen!
