New Fountain Owner
 
http://img545.imageshack.us/img545/2...ntainfever.jpg

Hey Guys,

I purchased my 27 Fountain Fever from Shogren last Oct from Scott (Great guy) The people and service at Shogren are top notch I must say. A great experience dealing with them. I have been dying to get the boat back out. I only got the chance to put an hour and a half on it last year and haven't had it in yet this year. I'm still setting up the hoist I bought for it. Its a 2000 27 Fever with the 500EFI.

You guys are an amazing pool of info. Oh, and also you have some amazing boats. I have been eager to own a Fountain ever since I was a kid. Hopefully one day I can upgrade to some of the boats you guys are playing around in.

I do have one question. There are two vent holes (3inch) on the rear transom on each side. Most of the newer models have grilles over them. Do any of you know roughly how much and where i can get a set?

Aaron

Not just a grill. They are long tube inserts. I think they are like $200-$300 each from Fountain.

Congrats!!

The vent tubes you refer to in the back dont have grills over them on your model are you sure you didnt see the newer Fountain exhaust tubes they have grills on the ends ... Congrats on the new boat!

Aaronl325 05-12-2011 06:52 AM

Thanks guys.
Wow, I did'nt know they were tubes. Looks like for 200-300 bucks I'll be putting that lower on the priority list.

Nice shot from lk st clair ramp. You dont need covers. Mine are stainless with no covers. Another 27 in the area. Nice.
I live on cass, bring it over someday. I do go to st clair at times as well. John

just for interest sake ( and nice boat by the way Aaron, love the stripe package ) does anyone know what the going price from Fountain or any aftermarket replacement company on the CLEAR windshield/side shields for these fever models?

thanks

Aaronl325 05-12-2011 09:07 AM

John,
You are 100 percent correct! Lake St Clair launch. I've got a slip on St Clair. Let me know if you come out. I'm planning on checking out Cass Lake too. I've got a buddy with a 28zx Donzi who went there and said it was a good time. He also said he got beat by a 27 Fountain....maybe you lol.

Pokey27,
Nice boat. Thats gotta move pretty good with a blown 502.

2koolperformance,
I asked Scott @ Shogren when I bought my boat. My port side has some minor checking in it. He said about 200 bucks for the panels. I was shocked. It seems reasonable. I haven't looked into it more than that though.

Wildman_grafix 05-12-2011 10:17 AM

There is a thread here somewhere that has the prices, 220 to 240 for each side and I think the front was in the 400's not bad really.

Direct from Fountain.

I would like to know if the latter lightning style could be put on.

fountain27ho496 05-12-2011 12:39 PM

Yes that was me, I remember that day.
I wont be racing you. My boat is at my store, J.C. Carpet
5370 Elizabeth lake road Waterford. If your ever over this way. John
