New Boat Purchase

02-09-2004, 09:49 PM

I AM NEW TO OSO. I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT PURCHASING A BOAT A 27'-29' FORMULA OR A 27'-29' FOUNTAIN. I HAVE OWNED 2 FORMULAS AND HAVE BEEN VERY SATISFIED. I HAVE ALSO WANTED A FOUNTAIN SINCE I USE TO WATCH REGGIE RACE, I HAVE BEEN AMAZED AT THE PRODUCT THAT THEY PUT OUT. I HAVE BEEN NERVOUS ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FINANCIAL PROBLEMS THAT FAUNTAIN IS UNDER, MERCRUISER INVESTING MONEY TO BAIL THEM OUT.

I HAVEN'T LOOKED AT EITHER ONE OF THEM, WHAT ARE THEY LIKE?

They are both great boats and will run in any water.
You need to look at the pictures that I have put out there. I have had Fountains and lots of power boats and I think the Sonic &Powreplay are great .

I'm on my fourth Formula, they're great boats. Formula number 3 was a 271 that I currently have for sale. Check her out - she needs a good home. Fountains tend to be a little faster, but its hard to beat the quaility of a Formula.

Since Fountain just got that 18 million dollar loan, I wouldn't be concerned with their financial status.
