Im going to finalize the deal on a 1996 fountain 42 staggered.
buying it with out motors or drives. So what are major problem areas to be on the look out for with the hull?? The history on the boat is it had 700sc's in it and now has been sitting for a few years. Thanks -Joe

On a 96 I would think a good survey of the hull would be in order. In your case the engine and drives will be in your hands after purchase, just make sure the hull is good and you should be in fine shape. No specific issues with a 96 42 that I have ever heard of.

Good thanks for the imput

I am curious about what you are paying for the Fountain. I tried buying a 42 w/o power last year but the guy selling was way over priced and woudn't play ball at all. If you don't mind saying I would very intereted in what the right price should be. Thanks.

I'm assuming this is the boat he is referring to, It was @ National OH repo at one point, I noticed whoever has the listing has changed the price a few times

Thats it... I have a deposit on it

i saw it listed on craigslist for under 20. looks like it might be missing steering. i was intersted could be a good build keep us posted!!

Im pretty sure it used to have 700sc's in it

Don't know what you paid but you've got your work cut out!Good Luck!

correct
