I saw your pic on poker run this spring with the all black boat someone had. I asked what size and yr your boat was it looks great in the water.
What have you been asking its been for sale hasn't it? ck Boatrader.com to see what others are asking. I really don't know but looks great.

Funny you mention the black boat in the poker run pictures. That was my Sunsation before I bought the Fountain. Now, I'm just wishing I had gone with something in between.

I'm really not sure, I have seen them for 65K up to 110K. I know mine is nicer then the 65K's just for the power, tranny and drive package. But am truly looking for good input from some people who may have the equivalent and then I can come up with a fair price.

Having been aboard this boat for it's maiden voyage I have just one thing to say............ it hauls ass!!! Pretty amazing how fast this boat goes considering the size. I bet it wouldnt take much tweaking to get to 100mph....
