I was thinking about calling both Fountain and Lake Cumberland, just didn't know how responsive they would be. I actually have the guys name it got repo'd from, just didn't want to insult him by calling and saying , " hey i just bought your boat you couldn't afford".

Is there a specific # for Fountain I would call?

I did originally buy this to resell it but it is way to nice to just let go .

I got a good deal, unfortunately engines had injested water, so I have not got to use the boat yet, but getting close. See Orca Challenge thread posted last week.

A buddy had a 1989-1990 38 with 500EFI's, Huber 1250's and #4's (the boat had bigger power before he bought it). I seem to remember that setup ran low 70's but all-day, everyday. The boat was destroyed in a warehouse fire 2-3 years ago and he'll never remember what props, etc. it had on it.

Those non-stepped 38's are very solid boats but it will take quite a bit of HP to get it going.

There was a 38 down here for sale a couple of years ago that had 800hp+ a side and was rigged with #3's that could get into the 80's.

No I keep coming up empty, Lake Cumberland Marines computers are down so they can't look it up. Fountain just has a performance report but I don't know from when. I paid for a background check and info on the old owner but come up with nothing just a bunch of addresses.

I talked to a few people from the area it was at and they don't know the boat at all , and one is a Fountain guy and Mechanic.

Really wish I could come up with something, I'd like to know where the old power is and when the updated paint was put on.
