I have been boating for years but the go-fast boat bug has bitten me. So I am looking at the baja outlaw 29'-32' or the fountain 29'-32' fever. Single or twin engine, 454, 496, 502 it dosn't matter. On a trailer. 1996 or newer, $25000-$50000 price range. Maybe you own one or the other and can tell me both good and bad things about them. Posted on the Baja section too. Thanks

I have a 1997 Fountain Fever 540 700 hp for sale: 90 mph boat on trailer. You can see it here on oso in the classifieds.

It all depends on what you are looking for in a boat. If you want speed and handling get the Fountain. If you want cockpit and cuddy space get the Baja. I would reccomend you get a twin engine boat vs. a single. That is just my preference though. The 29 Fountain will "fly" a little better though with the single vs. the twins (balanced better). For a Baja in the 29 foot range you will definentley need twins.

If your going 1996 or newer get a fountain. Its like a chevy and a Cadi. Heres what I have noticed with Fountain is that is comes with premium everything and you arent stuck with run of the mill or not even having it. Baja are good boats and are run of the mill. But in the years your looking for a 29 or 32 fountain is definitely in that price range. Fountain is a better boat hands down. But go with that you want.

it all depends on money , more money gets you a fountain , better boat , but I have had 3 real nice Bajas , now 2 fountains . next ? can you afford twins ? it cost alot more to have twins , don't let anybody fool you , it does cost more .

How fast is it in the water?

glad we decided on the Fountain for our boat project... absolutely LOVED the lines of the 30' outlaw SST but with top speed in the 65-70 range with twins it was a no brainer for the Fever

on the expense side.. yes more expensive obviously with twins, but won't be once we get it away from the seller L! $1500 for a basic tune up and water pumps? 8hrs labor? sorry was born at night, not last night!!! thankfully the over all final price of the boat was decent. $42 g's for 97 32' with 502' twins on tri axle trailer.

good luck shopping!!


lim1965@yaho - that's a beautiful boat, you will not have any trouble unloading that amigo!!!

Wow in only one day I got all this good info Thanks guys. The cabin space issue was good info. I plan on trailering the boat because of ramp space around the upper Chesapeake bay and keeping the boat in the shop. Speaking of the shop. I do all my own work on my boats. So repair and parts cost are cut big time. But thanks for the tune-up cost info. To answer you speed question. Lets say cruise around 50 and getsome in the upper 70s or higher. I have all summer to make my decision because I don't leave Iraq until October. But keep any thoughts or comments on the 2 boats coming. So I can make a good educated purchase.

I have twins and MAINT is double no way around that. As far as fuel it hasnt been to bad yet this year and this is my first time with them. Ive been out four times so far dont know hours runing but either way I havent gone through a full tank yet. But I havent been running 60-70 for an exteneded time either. Nothing against a Baja but I think if your going to spend 30-40 grand you will be kicking yourself in the you know what if you dont get a fountain.
