It would sometimes blow out in corners, though, and I don't drive agressively and no high speed turns. Our 2002 29 (full frame windshield style) with 575 SCI had X dimension of 19.5" and came with a 30P Bravo One prop. That prop bit well and never blew out, even in turns. I tried a couple of Hydro Q-IV props on the 575 boat but could never get up on plane - it would just blow out the prop. Our 2006 29 with 525 EFI has X dimension of 19" and came with a 28P Bravo One prop. Not even going to bother trying a Hydro Q-IV, it runs great with the prop that is on it. I think switching to Bravo One props allowed Fountain to raise the X a little, due to the different prop design.

We had a 2001 27 Fever w 500efi came with 17.5 X dim 25 RH Hydro, ran solid 74gps 5350 rpms, however the prop would blow out on slower turns. Very slow to plane

Should have some cool pic's next week of it comming down the line. Tony said he would snap a few.

I saw your boat today. It looks great! They had everything taped up for protection. Two or three guys were working on it. I bet you are excited! Should be a lot of fun!

You will be glad you bought a Fountain and that Tony is your salesman. He is great to work with! I was with him and his family one Sunday on the beach and he stayed on the phone most of the time with Customers. His wife even said that he is always trying to help his customers. Nothing like a new Fountain! Their customer service ROCKS too.

Is that Tony C. if so tell him Steve said hi and to call me.
Thanks

Congrats with your new boat. I like all Fountain sport boats, but the 29 is a very special boat. It does almost everything the bigger ones do, but is always your friend an burns a lot less fuel. It takes huge wakes if you need that too. Mine has twin 377 Scorpions and it has run over 550 houres almost without anything else than polish, oil and some barrels of fuel. I have taken all my customers out in it and they love it. It is stable enough to carry 14 persons (without any problems) for a short distance A-B, sleeps two easy, and trailers just as good as it runs. The best thing is that everybody like it. And I love it!

Make sure you give her a lot of love, and she will take you everywhere in a safe high quality ride that will make all the other boaters jelous. It is good to know that Fountain still make it. There are no boats that I know of that combine all those great qualities into a compact "affordable" package.

Good Luck. Post pictures very soon...

PICS???????????????????????????????????????????
