Purchased the boat in January from Shipyard Marine, picked it up last month from Wis. to Cleve Ohio. Very happy with the purchase. I agonized over 2 seasons and narrowed it down to Fountain 35 or Formula 35. The main reason for either of the "F" brands is they have a windshield and both offered blue engines with XR drives. Performance parts for me, windshield to make running fast easier for my wife. If it was all about the speed a Fountain would be in my drive, in fact I missed 2 Fountain 35s in the fall at Pier 57 with $ in hand. Worked out for the best for us, the extra amenities and space in the cockpit and cabin are really nice to have. Yes I gave up some MPH, but sometimes its not always about me. Really enjoy this boat and hope to meet up with OSO members at Thunderfest on Lake Erie or Lake Cumberland in September. [ATTACH=CONFIG]502075[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]502076[/ATTACH]

This is the first time with photobucket so bear with me.

nice job came out nice

Looks good! The Formula has more room then the Fountain so if you stay on it that helps....

bring it to the islands!!

I've posted a pic before but took this one Tuesday with the Dmax hooked up after moving the boat up on the trailer 8in. Rides better and feel safer now that the transom is actually sitting on the bunks.

Here is few of my 1989 272 SR-1......

That a great looking ride year power?

You sure that's a 272? Looks like at least a 292.
