Default Finally bought a Fountain after 2 yrs of debating
YOLO right? Who knows how this will play out but after thinking about it for over 2 years I finally decided to buy a Fountain. It's a 97 29 Fever and will be getting delivered to me sometime mid next week. just in time for the week long brutally cold weather here in Philadelphia. Boat is completely winterized and I will also add a bilge heater for good measure when it's below freezing.

Boat passed the survey with essentially zero issues. Also has as extremely well documented history as the most recent owner is a pilot.

Anyway, I'm curious to see how this boat compliments our other one and how we use it. Or don't use it!

Congratulations! What does it have for power? Are you going to just enjoy this year or start with the mods?

LOL. No mods. Already has a Procharger which should make this boat plenty fast for me. I'm use to 21.5knts so this will be a whole new world to me!

Congrats! Very sharp looking boat. The boat's graphics and interior are also very much to my taste.
