1997 32' Fountain Fever
#1
I'm looking at a 1997 32' Fountain Fever. Twin 502mpi's Bravo Drives. Anyone have any experience with one. Rough water handling, getting on plane, top speed? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks

I just sold my 1998 32' Fountain Fever last summer. I owned it for 4 years. I loved mine. It did everything I wanted it to do. I thought it handled rough water very well for a 32' boat. I have been in the bay with it on several occasions and it did a good job on close chop but, if the wind blew from the North East you would need at least a 42 footer in the bay. The only negative for the 32 Fountain is it is a low rider. But, it really looks cool. I hope the new owner is enjoying mine as much as I did. Great boat!

We had a 1997 32' W/502's very easy boat to operate, quick and easy to plane. Top speed empty or loaded 78 mph. Rough water use left something to be desired, we boat on Lake Erie which can get very sloppy. We had a Formula 336 which was hands down better in the slop.

Thanks for all the input everyone but went and looked at a 32 yesterday and that boat just dropped off the list. Cockpit is small and so is the cabin. My wife said our 25 looked about the same size. Gonna keep looking
