Re: Advice on a New 38
 

Hey Steve,

It seems that your wanting performance info is turning into a feeding frenzy among the Fountain Dealers...

It's like putting your hand into a tank of pirhana..... OUCH !!!

Hey Fountain dealers.. What are the rules ?????

Can you sell '05 leftovers and used boats outside your area ????

Re: Advice on a New 38
 

CMG,

You are correct, Fountain dealers are to abide by the rules to sell "NEW" boats within their defined territories. Although we are unable to sell new boats outside our territory we are able to sell used boats anywhere we choose.

Hope this helps you.

Hey dealers...
Just becareful on this site with the bidding etc... on new sales, especially! The factory check this site now... Dont get caught with ya hand in the cookie jar!

Re: Advice on a New 38
 

Well, I spoke with Tim at Fountain who recommended I get the 525's with the sportmaster shorties with a 1 inch spacer with Herring 34 p - Just over 90 with low fuel etc. I would do the 600's but the mark up is ridiculus. I thought like the 575' there might be cheap horsepower gains with the 600. But at a 40k upgrade cost I think someone lost their mind. I'll play with Wipples later on, just need to decide if I should go with a 1.3 rather than 1.5 drive ratio.

The base price of a 2006 38 Lightning with 525's is now 317k. :eek: The discount seems to be around 15 percent. But I have found those who can get an 06 with 05 pricing. That gets you to 275k. I am still LOOKING at 05's.. I will deal with the dealer in my area for an 06, unless he changes the deal.

Just went over colors with the wife..... :rolleyes:
