I have a friend with a 1988 38 fever. It has 625 Cubic inch n/a motors with all the goodies, extension boxes, #5 speedmasters, cleavers, ect. The boat is rock solid and runs 95+ all day long.

Re: were are the old fountains????????
I just bought a 1991 27 Fever this spring. Was looking for a Formula but i saw the Fountain for what i thought was a good price and jumped on it. A little fiberglass work (****ty surveyor) and a new motor (some dumbass painted the inside of the oil pan) and now i'm still trying to get some decent speed out of it.

Re: were are the old fountains????????
I've got my old 8.8 meter dog. She's all fresh, new power, new Konrads, panel, intruments, and interior. I love how this old boat rides and with the modern upgrades I wouldn't trade it in for anything else. I could afford to go out and buy something new but far prefer this boat to the new twin steps.
She runs fast with a pairof 675hp mils and the Konrad speedy lowers. When the water gets big and all the stepped hulls start shore hugging I can keep this old hammering away.
