Haven't been on the water in 2 weeks with the rain, wind and hurricane's, so i decided to take a ride down to the Milford boat launch, there's always something going on and sometimes your rewarded with some real comical chit.Pretty soon we'll be reading his obituary...
Today a guy is pulling his brand new Fountain 34SC out of the water, nice boat, walked over and started talking to the guy, just bought it a month ago, it has 3 of the new 600 hp Mercs on it.
I'm like damn, 1800 hp, the guy says it will do over 80 mph, I believe him, don't know why but yea, I believe it. He's having it hauled to Florida.
Got one pic before he took off.
Pretty soon we'll be reading his obituary...Let's hope he doesn't take anyone with him.
Let's hope he doesn't take anyone with him.No one says you gotta run it at 80
Back to my old saying "More money than brains" Unless your are engaged in professional racing, there is no need to do 80mph on the water.

How much fuel are you going to burn doing 70 mph for 1.5 hours??If I told you we burned 220 gals there and back with 8 hours of trolling and running and gunning you wouldn't believe me. This was a 36' Yellowfin with trip 275 Mercs. I didn't believe it either til we divided up the fuel cost.

@Roccus7 While we really can't see how it's rigged, that thing is a Center Consol fishing machine. I've seen some technology with those engines having the ability to act as a spot lock. Admittingly it is more of a blend of a fishing and pleasure boat than I firsts thought.F boat, and that ain't Fishing. Seats across the transom?? Lounge in the bow without a proper casting platform?? Another boat you couldn't give me, but I'd like to meet the whole crew in the photo...
