My 47 is sold - mixed emotions
Its final, the money is in my account and the new owner is going to pick it up tomorrow. It is headed to Maryland.
I kind of feel bad as my family did not want me to sell it. Everyone wanted "one last ride" on it but I refused. After the sea trial I did not want to chance a problem. I am sure it would be fine but you never know.
Looks like I will be getting a Formula 400SS, and hopefully later a offshore hopefully a Donzi ZR I can get in and rip arround with.
I looked at the fountain 38EC (too small) and the 48EC (too big and $$$$) But the 400SS I think is just right. Too bad Fountain doesn't make a 42EC!

I agree on that they need a 40 to 42 they are leaving the market wide open for Formula. Call Casey Freeman 214-269-1828 www.fountaindealer.com he'll put you in Formula 400SS

Re: My 47 is sold - mixed emotions
Congrats on the sale are they upset with you now that it's leaving?
When I sold our Baja I was in the Dog House for a while - until the next ride came in anyway/
Personally I like the 400ss & they are very popular boats for us.
We have an '06 400 with 525's left several '07's on order. Still going to be a change from your 47.

Re: My 47 is sold - mixed emotions
I have a 47 Fountain I need to find a new home for and will take a trade. Trip 525`s arch gen and custom paint on a custom trailer. Also has radar on it any takers? Also have a few 400SS in stock both in hardtops and just an arch. I even have a diesel 400SS in stock that I love to drive!
