Far from interesting, try pain in the ass.
It is also far more complicated than just this boat since there are other shared business interest.

Last partner in charge had the gall to claim he kept it in fine shape while under his care. Damn thing had a green carpet & rub rail sections hanging free beneath the water line.

Also had driven off with shore power still connected!! Nice.....

Please post pictures, especially running and rear view. I heard these boats were unreal in rough water.

You think that the seller would at least clean off all the engine oil blow by in the engine compartment, before posting the pictures!

Yes it is a "real / true" 51' Fountain. Yes, it is the very same boat Damon discussed.

It was purchased today and is now home at Lake Texoma.
