Fountain 24 cs
 

Looking for Fountain 24cs owners to discuss specifics of this boat and their experiences. I am the owner of a 96 with a 548CID build in progress.

There's a guy up here on Cayuga Lake with a 24CS with a blown big block. He supposedly runs 90 something with it.

I've driven a couple of the ones we sold with 502's in them and they were a handfull at top end - mid 70's. I think you'll find your ballast tank quite handy with what you're planning on dropping in. Sneak up on it slowly.

thanks for the info, ballast tank currnetly not functional, connecting rod took it out when it flew thru the oil pan!! I am planing on putting it back together before the motor goes back in!!

The ballast tank is in the bow.

yes it is
 

yes the tank is in the bow the pump was under the motor, connecting rod split it open like a melon!
