95, I was going to post in your other thread. The shop/ person that sold you your "1999" the same one that said it is a 650HP motor?

Looking at the picture link you posted the paint is early 90's what does the title say?

No. We bought the boat from a local guy here. The guy we bought it from has a Black Thunder he is selling now.
We got a good deal on the boat and its paid for as well. I just want to know 150% what year it is so I know when I order parts for it.

Call Fountain. They can tell you everything about that boat with the VIN#. How much fuel it carries what motors and serial numbers for those drivers serial numbers for those. They could even send you a copy of your performance sheet. Every Fountain was tested right after being build and a performance sheet was filled out on it and is supposed to passed down with every sale of the boat. Do your self a favor and call the factory tomorrow and get all the info you will need going forward.
