My New Toy

I just got this boat two weeks ago. I moved up from a 212 Baja Islander and I am a very happy Fountain Owner. Not knocking the 212. It was a GREAT boat...

Hey cool. Where yours is purple mine is red. It is kinda hard to see in those pics because we took them later in the afternoon. It is a clean boat with only 270 hours. I am still going through it checking on everything. It is in desperate need of a polish/wax so that is going to consume my weekend.

C'grates! What the hell is that thing on the swim platform? :)

Stock 502. Contemplating a Procharger or something like that. My only hold back is not knowing what to expect in terms of shorter life of the the motor doing something like that. The boat is turn key (when it has gas....long story) and I only get to enjoy it on the weekends because I don't live at the lake (unfortunantly).

Would it be fun to go faster? Hell yes! I wish i had a 100MPH boat but the budget just won't support the upkeep and "what if's"....

US1... that is a stabilization mechanism for safe water exits when there has been too many adult beverages consumed.... lol

I have an M1 on my 27 and it runs great. Don't let the blower aspect of it deter you. You can't beat the hp per $$

Great looking boat, I have one just like it but it is a 29 ft. Get use to your boat than decide if you want to upgrade on HP. It is call MONEY...There will alway be some one faster but it is always nice to drive by the bigger boats with more HP with a smile on your face when your beak boat passes them. FOUNTAIN PRIDE...
