Almost!! Today I went to look at an 88' Fountain Fever 27' (29'-3/4"loa) with twin 454's and bravos. The guy took excellent care of the boat. Left a $2000 deposit and am waiting for the survey next week. I'm still looking for info on this boat since there are not many 88's out there but I'll keep looking.

Really good looking boat, welcome to the family, you will love it. I am a new fountain owner also and I can attest to the fact that they are very special.

All your guys boats look great. Hopefully I'll be joining the family. Tuesdays the survey.

Pullmytrigger - two things, I really like where you put the registration numbers and what kind of speed do you see with the small blocks? stock or modded. thanks
