85+MPH 2009 Fountain 48 Express Cruiser..VIDEO

Well they've marinized the 5.9 Cummins to 480hp but I think they left some power on the table. With the power I've seen from the Common Rail(700-1200hp) I see no reason a marine Cummins couldn't make at least 700hp. The 5.9 weighs very little more than a big block Chevy motor, and with a multispeed transmission, speeds close to 100mph are very possible, even in a big V bottom. The Eliminator 43Eagle had 480 Cummins motors and it ran over 80 without multispeed trannies.

Trim it high and let it fly... Pretty calm water but looked incredibly smooth and I bet trip 700's can drink a ton of fuel if you get on it. Would like to pics under the hatch and the transom.
