Re: 35 Lightning vs. 35 Executioner
Dkahnjob, Carolina performance marine in Charlotte NC has a real clean (2004 I think) 35 Lightning with 525s in it, only 60 hours on a Myco for 165. Ask for Britt Springs. Buy the Lightning, the other is slower but cheaper in price.

Re: 35 Lightning vs. 35 Executioner
I looked at a 35 Ex just last week at my dealer because I was thinking of downsizing in cost and boat size. The 35 EX has no room at the helm. I could not fit behund the helm, but I am also a big guy at 6'5" tall. Funny thing is I fit in my 29 Fever tight but fine. You'd have to be a small guy to fit in the 35Ex. For me I'd look into a slightly used and well taken care of 35 Lightning. Not only is the 35 Lightning faster but it has more useable room behind the helm and all over the whole boat.

[QUOTE=Dkahnjob]Hi Peter, The video clip of your boat on Lake Ontario was very impressive looking, I like the colors. Please let me know the details.
Thanks,
David Kahn
David,
1999 35 Fountain, HP 500 Carb, 20th Anniversary Package inc. special graphics with color fade-chrome throttle/shifter-color matched dash-chrome bezels-deck graphics-matching graphics on sun pad and in cockpit carpet, PO head-never been used,water system etc. the standard stuff. 26 Hydros and 28 Lab Bravos. The stock cockpit cover plus a full mooring/storage cover that Robert had custom made for it. Eagle tandem trailer.
Has 225 hrs. total and just over 50 since engines were freshened. Done by local shop, close friend of 30+ years, 100% stock except for upgraded valve springs and rockers to eliminate the normal Merc problem. Isky SP Endurance springs and Crower Stainless full rollers. The boat is honestly an 11 on the 10 scale, anyone here on OSO that knows the boat would verify that. I bought it in Kentucky/Lake Cumberland in July of '04 from Marginmn here on OSO. Both Robert and I have kept it in a boathouse, he had it on a lift, and stored off season inside. It shows as close to new as a used boat possibly can.
Will have the GF try to post some pictures here later and will get you a number thru an OSO PM later today.
Thanks,
David Kahn

With the 07 35's running over 105 mph with 525's, if you sit tight their maybe quite a few 35 Fountains on the market for sale.

Beak - so true. I am still looking for one that is free to a good home - that is how I got my dog.
