I've honestly never checked the mileage accurately but I'm probaly in the same range as you. I keep thinking about replacing it but haven't made a payment in years and it still runs/pulls well plus with all the snow we get it handles that also.
My fountain is the 32 sport fish cruiser with a fixed tubular top. Weight is 9,600 # with half tank of fuel.

2001 35 lightning pulled by an 05 Ford F-350 Dually. Some mods on the truck. No issues at all. Only about 10 mpg, of course that is much better than the boat gets.

Ya I'm Icthing to buy a newer diesel, just can't justify getting another payment just because I get a Lil worse gas mileage... Will prolly keep it till the wheels fall off!

It's all in the camera angle!

'09 GMC All Terrain Crew and the 35 Lightning. Actually goes down the road real well, not that I go that far with it. And not at lightning speed!

It's got a 8.3 Cummins turbo diesel. ( Tandaom axel Dump truck motor ) She pulls like nobody's buisness. Has 22.5 alcholas and a alison 6 speed. :D

Irvine will be tight. We'll have boat race videos from the 70's and 80's on the tv. LOL.
I hope you feel better. If you need help w anything let me know. My back still works ok and i would be glad to help you out.

Let me guess . You are wanting a fountain 38?

Dkahnjob 12-27-2010 12:53 AM

Hi Chad,
That is an impressive power package, you will love that diesel, you just can't beat diesel power for doing work/towing.

Thanks for the offer of help, so far I am just taking it real easy.

Are you going to Elsinore for the Tom Papp memorial run, I think it is January 8th, but not sure.

The next Fountain will be a 42, but I am on the two year plan. I hope the current used boat prices hold, you can buy a lot of boat right now for very reasonable prices.

Take care,

Dave
