I don't know how much. I got the pics from american performance marines website. Its been up on there for a while. I guess you can give them a call to find out.
I agree though. This isn't the boat i would buy if looking for a sport fish. |

Nice looking boat though... Good looking rig, though. |
Gunwale seems to be at the right height.
You want to be able to lock your knees under it. If its too high you can't do that. But i agree, i wouldn't be spending that $ on a fountain fishing boat. Rather have a Viking open, with some beam. Then again, after a closer look, i don't like the low sheer line. And it seems the cockpit is just extended over the swimplatfrom. Too far outta their market. |
Did you forget to put the plug in? Oh, nevermind, it's a Fountain!!!!
:D :evilb: :drink: :evilb: |

Needs more beam. A day of trolling in a 4 foot slop will have the boat rocking and rolling. It is an interesting concept, that could develop into something decent.
As a sport fisherman, I would look for beam, and accomodations. I would have to assume that this boat gets pretty tight down below, where as the viking open has an 17 foot beam and 2 huge staterooms with the possibility of a third bunk room. All that comes from beam. And she cruises at 36 knots |

Maybe it'll come in handy when shark fishing.....a little more chum bait for the fishies! :D Especially if you're up in the tuna tower.. |
All good points but the Fountain will be 20 mph faster that all the competition!:D
|
I'd take the Viking in rough water any day!!
