Fountain guys, trying to get a fix on the value of this boat...
 

Blacked out the price so I can get some real guesses... What do you guys think? What would you be willing to pay? It has 205 hrs or so now.

40k

I sold mine just like it 5 years ago for 34K

Were there any problems with your boat?

What would you think its value is now?

Nope, already purchased my previous boat and needed it gone. I also don't think the market has dropped that much. That is a good boat with the right captain behind the wheel. Should bring mid 30's I would think.

mid 30's sounds right with a different paint job.

Hard to believe only 159hrs on a 1994. That my be 159hrs on just the motors if they've been replaced. I agree with mid 30-'s. Low to high mid 30's depending on interior and condition of the outdrives.

I remeber you asking for general info on the 29. The only thing I don't like about the shorter twin engine fountains (29 and 32) is that they don't like a lot of weight. I've heard of a couple of 32's sinking with anymore than 6 people on board and I would think that twin engine 29's MAY have the same problem. Obviously if you don't overcrowd the boat and if you have even the slightest common sense to plug up the drainage holes you should be OK.

That one has 205 hrs...

By sinking do you mean the ass end rides low because of all the weight in the back or do you mean literally sinking?

The owner says he's had it since 98... Sounds like a legit guy.

range 29.9---->39.9 depends on interior condition a boat of that age might need interior parts and or wood replaced under the seat skins deduct as ness,

35' Executioner with 500's, real speeds
 

Looking to upgrade from my 02' 29 Fever with 575 SCi to 35' Exec with 500 EFI's. Does anyone have this package? What are legit speeds? What props? How is the planning and mid range speeds? 29' Fever is for sale!

wasn't trying to stir up anything sorry.

That is exactly what I have, single step, twin HP500EFI's with 1.5 gears, typical speed is 75 mph any time, any place, any weight. If conditions are right, wind, temperature, light load, etc I can sometimes see low 80's. I have two sets of props, Bravo 4 blade 28's and 30's. The 28's have more bottom end the 30's give me a higher mid range cruise, but only turn 4700 rpm and top out at 75 mph. Maximum rpm is 5200 with the 28's. So I use the 30's when cruising, 3000 rpm=55 mph, 3500 rpm=60 mph.

When the temperature is hot or I have a bigger load I will put the 28's back on.

Both. The ass end rides low because of the weight in the back and when you put 6+ people on it they can literally sink. Especially when the boat stops and the 6+ people decide that the sunpad is the place to be. But it looks cool right.............:(

:(

Fountain's 'different' boat measuring techniques have me feeling that this thing's too small for lake michigan. Thanks for the help, all.
