Yeah i agree. This video was filmed like 2 weeks after i bought it and my last boat had blue motors and was only a 32, i never used tabs. The guy told me to use the tabs to get it on plane lol. Once i found out i didnt need to i never do now. I need to make a new video there was a lot of stuff wrong with this one.

@@CARSTUDIOYT one thing for sure was the audio could have been better. However it is tuff to video when your going fast on the microphone. One thing with me, Im like you constantly looking at my gauges. My trim indicators are old school, and have no indication up at the helm.

Thanks a lot! Thats awesome and congratulations to you too, there really is nothing like the feeling you get from running one of these big boats.

absolutely, I have a couple videos on here of a 21ft boat i built last year and i sold it after a few weeks to buy this one. Had a 32' baja with blue motors before this one and couldnt go smaller.

Only thing i was getting used to was the throttle and shifters being on the left side. This wasnt my first offshore boat. Its been a couple months now and im used to it tho lol.

Im planning a trip to bimini in the spring. Never thought about lake Erie but im sure thatd be a fun trip too!

@@CARSTUDIOYT go to Bimini in January or February get out of midwest cold & snow go to Erie in the summer Lake Erie Islands - The Key West of the Midwest

yes it is!

@@CARSTUDIOYT If you want to see something cool, look up 'dollar marine special' on YT. Its a clip of an Apache racing offshore key west in 1990. The guy in the middle is my uncle on the steering. He used to race at Lake Cumberland Ky as well and set a record in the 80s. The one on the throttles is Phil Lipscheutz, which he owns Lipship performance in Miami. He builds badass custom cigarettes. He has 3 mini cigs that he takes around to poker runs. Little 22s that run about 97mph. That cigarette in the movie All about the Benjamins was his. I think his wifes actually. But if you look up Lipship performance online you will see his work and boats he has for sale. Thats my childhood dream. Cigarette has always been my fav just bc being around them when I was a kid. He used to have me take off the Apache stickers when I was little and that was the coolest thing to me. But I do appreciate and love a nice fountain, outerlimits or MTI. Formula makes one hell of a boat too. I watch all the tours of boat manufacturers on YT lol. The cats are neat and will always have the top end but im a V hull guy all the way.

@@CARSTUDIOYT Also if youre ever up for a fun road trip we have annual poker runs here at Cumberland Ky. Tons of fountains, outerlimits, cigs, everything. And its like mardi gras on the water the whole weekend. Always great footage online and YT. A skater flipped in 2013 doing 160 and they didn't make it unfortunately We also have Thunder Run and the annual 'raft up'. Which in 2010 we broke NCs record for having the most boats rafted together at one time. We set the record with 1,652 boats. Now its a annual event and theres live bands that play on the water and everything. But its good people here, always glad to have more.

I go to cumberland poker run every year, I actually have a few videos on this channel covering it. I will be there next week also! staying on state dock in a house boat and will have my camera out. If you can get me on a nice apache/cigarette/etc. to do a boat review thatd be awesome. I am starting another youtube channel dedicated to powerboats.

thats awesome man, sounds like you had a great childhood. I would have loved to be around boats like that.

I had a Formula 272 SR-1 for 18 years. Learned something every time out!

Single step!

What power do you have in this boat?

One of the cables need replaced

@@CARSTUDIOYT gotcha wasn’t sure if it was because they were being moved together or some other reason. I good with lake boats lol I’ve never been on a boat in the ocean unfortunately.

Port cable is frozen, they both trim up at the same rate

@@CARSTUDIOYT very nice. I just bought a 29 fountain with a single 525. Liking the channel. Looking forward to more fountain content!

Cable was broken. I need to delete this video, i had owned the boat for only a couple days and there was a lot of info that wasnt necessary. I just ran it like the previous owner told me to.

You are correct, based on what ive heard. That is interesting he just made them for his preference!

Correct

False

False. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ib9pgq1qkqqRZok.html

This was probably the second time I had this boat out and was using the advice from previous owner. It doesnt need tabs to get on plane, I actually never used them on my boat either (32' baja). probably shouldve waited a few weeks to make this video! lol

Thats a good idea! Im actually in the process of starting a whole other channel based on powerboats and mainly tours/reviews. Ill be posting a video on here soon with a link so check it out!

Lake Cumberland video coming this week and another update on this boat soon

Weed ????

850 hp is not a lot for a boat like mine. It takes at least 1100-1200hp to reach 90 mph. My boat also weighs around 9k lbs give or take

@@CARSTUDIOYT Son of a gun thats a lot of weight😬no wonder! Lotta drag with that plowing through the water. I’m looking into buying a nice boat like this soon but I’d like something lighter! What year is yours btw

53 on GPS or the notoriously optimistically inaccurate factory "wishometer"? 😂 I have had many guys tell me how fast their boat was and they went by the factory speedometer. Then when they run next to my boat on GPS they see how slow their boat really is. Also, this is a 35' Fountain. That's a lot of weight and more hull in water for more hydrodynamic drag. the more hull in the water the more power it takes to move it. That's why they put steps in the hull now to get the boat out of the water. Also why cats run faster because they pack air which lifts it out of the water.

This was the 2nd time i had this boat out, ive hit a few poker runs since then and put probably 100 hours on it since this video. In hind sight i def should have had more seat time before i made this video, this hull handled way different than the 32’ baja outlaw i owned before it.
