Re: Wanted a Fountain.
 
I love boats ...period.
I think it is pretty lofty to say that most people want or will want a Fountain. I looked at a lot of boat adds when I was shopping and saw many boats including fountains but the beak just isn't my style. Maybe I could own one but that would only be possible as long as I have my Formula too! :D :D :D

I have never wanted a Fountain. Thier styling inside & out is just not for me.
That said, they DO ride incredibly well, and they are fast. My freind has a 35, and the quality of build and hardware looks to be amongst the best. I think they are a great boat!

I looked at a few but there is something about the interiors that I don't like.

If I were going to get a Fountain the only possible model would be their 48 Cruiser. But hell, I'd like a 44 Magnum. :cool: I like the size, and ammenities. I just looked at a 47 w/trip 525's, wasn't impressed, actually headroom was disappointing, getting into the head was a major step up, and again headroom was short. Fit and finish was ok, price of the boat was fair, and est. speeds for the power was 90, excellent. The Nortech 4300 is still larger, in cockpit, and much better down below, I have yet to find a better value, in size, performance, and just better looking boat, I will stick with my Nortech, just my take on it.

You have to give them credit and respect, as they are well-built, good handling, fast boats, but no, I've never wanted one, nor will I ever have one - I just don't care for the styling, and their small size (relatively speaking).

Works for me. At 5'9" 180lbs the cockpit is still snuggy. If I were any bigger, there could be some comfort probs. Cabin is shallow also. My 2nd and I would buy another one. I still love all the custom boats and paints. :D

I thought I wanted a Fountain once. I rode in one and that sealed the deal. I don't want one anylonger.
