roughly without looking at a old magizine i would say in the
100,000 range list price and probable bought in the 75,000ish with decent power 420's or 575's. At the time there was no others to compare with as far as performance.

In 89, a 12 meter with the 420 package sold for just under 100K. The next power package was the 440 cyclone, then the 475. Most all had TRS drives. If you wanted the SSM drives the price went up about 20K and that included the tranny upgrade.
A very good friend of mine had a Fountain dealership from 88 to 92, and this is what he told me.
