Unfortunately, the dealer cancelled my appointment today as he was out delivering another boat. So I'm going to have to wait until the weekend.
Until then, feel free to play "spot the differences" between the two photos above. Other than the plastic engine covers, any other comments as to the shape of the engine or anything that looks out of place?
I'm not asking for a marine survey from a photo...just hoping folks with more experience might see something wrong.
Already I don't like that the exhaust tubes aren't double-clamped. I'm pretty sure that's not up to code. LOL.
I'll keep you guys posted when I get a chance to see the motor and boat in person this weekend. Thanks again!

Also, he told me the boat had an Alpha One outdrive, which made no sense behind a 572, or any other big block. Sure enough, when I saw the photo of the outdrive, it was clearly a Bravo One.
He seems like a nice enough guy over the phone...at this point I'm going there this weekend to see the boat with a very open mind...

Wonder if he's the guy that last year sold a guy on here a 10yr older Fountain than what was said.

Oh yeah LOL he might. After I saw the photos he sent me of the boat, I already knew the description he gave me over the phone was not very accurate.
