Re: 27 vs 29
 
I have a question regarding 27 or 29 foot. Its all about paying for it. Can I get a poll going....How did most of you pay for your Fountain? Large deposits and finance balance? No deposit? Pay in full at time of purchase with a check? I've been dreaming of owning a 27 or 29 since the early 90's and its just hard to open up the wallet for 80 to 120 thousand dollars for a boat. My house is is worth 150,000....it just seems crazy to spend so much. Any Thoughts?

Put down as much as you can to get a comfortable monthly pmt. Save the rest for somthing that doesnt depreciate so fast.

As sick as it sounds I paid more for my boat than I did to build my house in '87. A boat payment has been a fixed cost for me since '89. I don't hunt, fish, golf or watch sports. Boats and cars, gotta have a hobby. JC

My 29 Fountain with a carb HP500 was faster than a 25 Powerplay with a 525hp engine. I was faster than a 29 Baja with twin big block engines. It's not all about size and power but balance of a boat.

Mike - you beat up on a poor defenseless 29 Baja outlaw? I am so disappointed in you. That is like clubbing baby seals
