Proud New Owner!!! and newbie!!!
 

Hello to all. I found this site the other day and just had to go and buy a boat to fit in! LOL!:rolleyes: I have just purchased (cotingent upon the survey) a 2003 29' Fountain Fever with the beloved 525 efi and matching Myco trailer. Been in boating all of my life with runabouts but this is the first offshore style boat my family has owned. We are on Pickwick Lake on the Tennessee River so the size is perfect for our water (not too big, still manageable around piers, fits in the lift on our pier and handles the rough water well). Haven't gotten any pics yet but hope to soon. Looking forward to getting to know some of you.

Welcome :drink:

and congrats on the new boat.

Frank

congrats! you will love it.

Congrats and welcome!

welcome to the family!

Nice ride...congrats!

I just noticed you are on Pickwick Lake... You will see a few other fountains down there. Most like to hang together so don't be shy and find where everyone hangs out. There are several of us in Nashville on Old Hickory Lake so if you trailer up our way we can show you around. Now get some seat time and get yourself in a poker run and you'll really be hooked!

Yep, been on Pickwick all my life; dad and grandad too. I have seen a few Fountains throughout the years. With Pier 57 located at Pickwick Dam, there use to be several on the water. Since they are no longer a Fountain dealer, the numbers have dropped. Actually they (Pier 57) are who I am buying the boat from.

Thanks for the invite gofastlvr, I may have to take you up on that. If you are ever down on Pickwick or Wilson Lakes, give me a shout and I'll return the favor. We have a couple of spots where everyone congregates on Saturdays and Sundays.:ernaehrung004:

Welcome to the family :ernaehrung004:

Pier 57 no longer a Fountain dealer... I thought they were one of the largest?

They have not been a Fountain dealer for a year or two now. They are into MTI, Cigarette, Donzi, Chris Craft and Regal.

Welcome...I too have a 2003 w/a 525...love it so far. Have one season with it under my belt and looking forward to this year.

Thanks to everyone for the "Hello's". Picking the boat up tomorrow about lunchtime!! Finally!!! Probably wont get much sleep tonite!!!

Congrats on the new boat. Bought 2 Fountains from David at Pier 57, when he was a Fountain dealer. Really J.J. did the deal, great people to do business with. Marsha is really helpfull also. Water tested them on Pickwick...seems like a great place to boat.

Thank you very much. JJ put this deal together for me. Super great guy! He and I will be on Pickwick tomorrow giving the boat a shakedown and a speed run, or two.

Pickwick is great water for boating; have some of the best small mouth and crappie fishing too. The 29 is the perfect size for the water here. Really looking forward to this year!!
