Thank you again Robert, I do appreciate it. I think you have more pictures of my boat than I do.

If your looking for one that has 525's or 600's, or a fountain in general give BLUME a call or pm. Has alot of connections in the industry and seems to be a pretty straight guy. He has helped me out quite a bit.

Come to find out my neighbor is selling his 99 35' Fountain w twin 500's in it. It has a trailer and cover. Boat has 80 hrs on it. What do you think is a fair price for the boat? I know it is in excellent condition because he is meticulous about his stuff. Plus as you can tell by the hrs...he never uses it. taking it for a test ride this weekend!

You may want to check out an older Fountain. The 1998 - 1990 38 Fever has a great cockpit ... much wider than the lightning, and after all that is where you spend the day. You can also save a lot $$$ buying a good used boat, but you'll need about 700 hp motors to hit mid 90's. All the best on your decision.

Re: Looking at buying my first Fountain
 
Yea, I think I'll just wait on trying to hit 90's for now. What price range do u think this 35 will go for?
