With two 200 HP on the back of that think I bet it does run like a raped ape. At the price of gas today I could only fill up on tank. LOL
Have fun, How fast will it run?

My buddy has a boat similar to that one. A 31' Fountain. Awsome boat. He has twin Merc 225s on there. It def cost a pretty penny to fill it up though.

Oh yeah, they are def up there. But very nice boats. Their hulls are taken from the racing hulls, so they cut through choppy water with no problem.

I have a friend that bought a fountain 31 lightning. that boat came with twin 454mercs, he owned a chevy dealership so he had the mercs replaced with two 502 crate motors before the boat ever hit the water. that boat will fly, I've seen about 80mph on the ocean out from little river inlet.

300 gallon tank...fuel @ $3+/gallon = $1000 to fill it!

Great looking boat though. Enjoy!!
