Default Fountain 12M

Hey folks,
does anyone know much about the old school Fountain 12M boats? Have my eye on a 12M Renegade with 1994 Twin 540 Siamese Tall Decks with less then 50 hours on engines.
what kind of speed should be expected with this boat with Teague lowers 1:50 ratio?

I have a friend who has a 12 meter. He just put fresh power in it. Dynoed 550ish. Boat runs a solid mid 70s. This is with trs drives. His is also for sale in Michigan.

What year is yours. I thought I saw that for sale on one of the boat sale sites. Nice looking clean boat. Seems like speeds were or are all over the place with the earlier 12 meter. There's even a YouTube video linked here on OSO of Reggie in the red 12 meter with 575 hp's supposedly running close to 90. Ahhh??? Say whaaaaat... Must have been extremely light lay up but the video is pretty cool. Another member here claimed he had twin 900's and boat ran 92-93 on average. Sounds little more realistic.
