Oceaneer, (good name BTW)

YF really isn't the appropriate place to ask this. Try tapping into the collective knowledge at OffShoreOnly.com. They have a spin-off site called AnglersOnly as well. You are likely to find the answers you are looking for.

That said, a very good friend owns the exact boat you're inquiring about, but it's equipped with triple 225 Opti's. He's had no issues with the boat and because Fountain's hull is stepped and laid-up lighter then the average center-console, it's a fast boat.

Personally, I'm not a fan of beak-boats. I remember (and this goes WAY back) a number of them having their cockpit floors removed to replace fuel tanks. Since then, Reggie is building a much better boat... and he'll be the first one to tell you.
