The start of the season got the best of us and put this boat aside for a short period. The boat was finished early in the summer, however we have been prop testing for the past few weeks. With the help of BBlades we were able to get her dialed in. The boat cruises very well, and reach 83 MPH @ 5500 rpm. The entire crew here couldn't be happier with the final product! Enjoy!

The first time you hear “ 24 Fountain” you do a double take and say ‘”24?” Yes that’s right, I thought the same thing until it rolled into our shop one day. The longer you look at it, the more it makes sense, from it’s wrap around windscreen and defined walk around it has Fountain written all over it. The boat was traded in to us original condition, less power. The Cockpit and Windscreen will be install upon paint completion The engine we have picked for this project is a 502 MPI with a cracked block. The engine building process will be documented from start to finish. This demonstration will show how important proper winterizing can be, also how a severe overheat can lay a block to rest. This particular boat is Hull #47, our research indicated that Hull #93 was the last 24 to float off the assembly line. It’s unclear weather 93 was the total boats built or if hull numbers were skipped throughout the build process. During this build we will primarily change the overall image of the exterior, while working with the untouched factory upholstery. This build will include:
Mitcher T Custom Paint
Livorsi Marine – Gauges / Throttle / Powder Coated Accents
Innotech Products – Carbon Fiber Dash Panels
MB Quart Audio
Engine & Engine Compartment Dress Up
T & T Racing – 502 MPI Repower ( Est 550HP )
