Got a question for the Fountain guys
I loved my time behind the wheel of the 42'er I had access to last summer. It had HP 500's with a blower installed. Hp>? Probably 'round 625 or so. Good manners, tracks well the whole nine yards. Not a complaint.
Just a question...why does the boat sit so low in the water at the back end? It is intentional >? Just curious is all.

Simple, look at the freeboard. It's not that it sits low, it's that there is no depth to them at the rear. If the back was 1' taller, it'd look like the rest.
