42' Fountain Lightning, How much is it worth?
 

A buddy of mine is going to an Estate Auction next weekend and this 42 is the main reason. What do you think it’s worth? Description reads: 1999 Fountain Lightning 42' Performance Boat. 6.4 Hours, Twin 502 Mercruiser Engines, 8 Cylinder, Orange.

i got the same flyer they guy had a lot of inventory of boats and classic cars.it looks like he purchased one of toy made and then put them in storage.any way back to your question is the boat is still a 1999 its worth high book if thats the true hours and you like the orange.i feel that all that stuff is going to go for big bucks.just my 2cents

Re: 42' Fountain Lightning, How much is it worth?
 

Guessing....130k would be good to buy at...normal deals retail around 150k?

Others may know market better, let's see who chimers in.

Holy crap, dude had some toys!

Re: 42' Fountain Lightning, How much is it worth?
 

You might get that for under 100 if these is no action on it.

Re: 42' Fountain Lightning, How much is it worth?
 

Anyone know why he's gettin rid of all the toys? Sure don't think that he'll profit from sellin those newer Benz's. But there sure is a good market for the older high perf cars.

The boat? Looks pretty clean. Don't see very many in orange. If someone really wants it, it will drive the price up. Sometimes auctions bring no money, and then if 2 guys really want the same item, it ends up a bidding war. It's a gamble.

Re: 42' Fountain Lightning, How much is it worth?
 

The guy died, He was fairly young and was told he didn't have any family or will?

Re: 42' Fountain Lightning, How much is it worth?
 

Hey Bob, I drove by your shop earlier today and saw the red Fountain out front all wrapped up, what is it a 29?

Re: 42' Fountain Lightning, How much is it worth?
 

Yep.. New 29 we only took the lower half of the wrap off to show the color I have not seen the inside yet..)Cool Boat ! Also A 525 I Think.
And Mahoney was who I was thinking of,,The name of his last fountain was Irish Insanity ..also a 42
