US1: I was just talking to Charles (he lives in Hamilton) and told him you bought a cruiser were thinking about selling your Fountain. Charles still has his 27, which, i think, was set up much like yours. He has a full roller 509 (started life as a Troy Dennis engine, when the boat was new) with a 731 Crane cam and a 250 B&M with twin 750's on top. He had his boat in the water only 4 or 5 times in the past 2 years! He said he is thinking about selling his, too. He has owned the boat for 11 years ... and I still remember the day he brought it home. We were on the Ohio River back in October and it ran 81 mph on gps.

I have a 27 foot fountain with a 500 hp carb running a 24 hydromotive 4 blade. I have heard several different stories about the top speed mine is running 73 at 5100rpm on gps am I missing something here everyone else claims to be closer to 80? I also noticed several people have the 415hp motor running a 26 pitch prop how can this be is my motor getting worn out it has 527 hours on it and runs great. It currently is using some oil I am told this is normal but I am not buying into that maybe how much is normal.
