The boat had no engines when I bought it.
To be honest I actually bought the boat to bring to Aussie and sell it, as I have a pair of 350 SB Mercruisers sitting on my varandah.
But I later decided to ship only one boat and I choose the 382.

So I swapped the running gear hanging on the 29 FF transom and associated pumps to my 382 Fastech project boat.
It was just so much easier for me to do a straight swap than try to organise individual parts from all over the USA.

Below is a picture of my 382 with the FF running gear.
K-Planes, Latham twin hydraulic steering & HD Bravo transom assemblies. There are also Mercruiser / Imco drives to go on.

If I lived in the states I would have kept her for sure.
But unfortunately I don't hence the FF is up for sale as I still have bills to pay on the 382 - shipping / import duties / taxes etc etc.

I forgot to mention, I paid a lot more than $6995 for the boat as well earlier this year.
I have marked down the price according to take account of the items removed.

If he did, all I can say is good luck to the new owner. He got the boat for free and just paid for some of the running gear.

Curious what you paid for the Fountain, it's been sitting on the rack for like $29,000 for at least 4 years. I picked up a boat from Jerry many years back and I considered this one but with no trailer and motors it wasn't worth it. I picked my current '88 Fever with t/454's, bravos, and on a trailer for $22,500 in 2007.

With that being said, what would you take for this hull? Please email me at [email protected] I don't do the eBay thing, just tell me what you want and if I think it's worth it I will buy. Too many boats out there for a bidding war. Thanks George
