After talking with my buddy who is a Fountain finatic we decided that i'm going to wait and find motors that are fuel injected. Hopefully twin 525's or 600's. thanks for all the comments. i'll keep you posted on my quest for my first Fountain.

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.

Re: Looking at buying my first Fountain
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.

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?
