Question 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.

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.
