New Owner
 
Today my wife and I are the proud new owners of a 2005 29 Fountain Fever 525efi!!! I will pick her up first thing Friday morning and hopefully have her on the water later in the afternoon.

Since we sold our last boat in March of 2010, I have been searching for the right replacement. I have been lurking on this site since then. This site has been a wealth of knowledge during my quest.

Thanks OSO!!!

This picture was taken at the sellers boat house after my sea trial. I look forward to sharing more pictures after I get her home.

Looks good I like that windshield

Hell of a package w/ the 525. How fast?

Thanks everyone! We like the low windshield too. The original owner ordered it clear instead of tinted. Says he could see the water better than in his previous 29 that was tinted. The performance report says 78 with a RH 26 Merc. During my sea trial we hit 75 with 3 adults and over 100 gal. Also comes with a labbed 28. We are looking forward to getting her in the water this weekend!!!

Very nice! Congratulations !! 75 mph with 3 adults and near full fuel in this weather is good.

Very nice. We love our new 32' as well. Let us know what you think once you get it out in some chop! Congrats. love the clean colors too!

lslavick 08-01-2011 07:29 PM

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

Got the boat on the water Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Freaky fast the boat handled the chop with no problem. Even had it flying a few time on a couple high speed runs with a few other boats.

I think we are going to love this boat!

Reggie finally had the boat up to 115 this past weekend with my so called spare props , stock 15 5/8 35 maximus props 6100 + rpms . on the slip calculator I figured 22-23 % slip, surprised me very much I was thinking they were a little to big . still waiting on my Herings they should be here the end of the week , what do you think ?
