Default I'm selling my Updated 38 Fever without Power.

Listed it here on OSO. 2000 model that I bought without engines or drives in 2004 and sent it back to Fountain's service center in 2005 for a complete refurbish in the Anniversary Edition Themed interior and graphics. There it was stripped and painted, had completely new vinyl installed, new cockpit carpet to match, new dash, new windshield, new XR drives and new HP transom assemblies, added Imco extension boxes and -2 Imco lowers in 2006 along with sea strainers and relief vales. This winter I had the bilge repainted and the transom painted purple to match the hull - no more annoying soot on white gel coat. Sitting on a Pacific trailer. I've only used it in Fresh water on Cumberland, in KY and TN.

One drive was rebuilt this spring and has about 15 hours on it, the other was rebuilt about 60 hours ago. Needs your own power and exhaust and props. Would be the perfect boat for those with 29's, 32's, or 35's looking to move up to a much better riding boat. Just pull your power and then sell your hull and drives to recoup a good deal of the cost of this one.

It is really a head turner and gets a lot of compliments.

$39,900 is just a fraction of the cost of refurbishing it in 2005.

"Hello

Thanks for getting back to me. I will offer you $38,000 for it and i will like to inform you that i will be having our local transporters to come to your location for a test drive process on the boat and moreover I will have to make a down payment to you so as to make you reserve the boat for me for not getting it sold to other interested buyer's till the test drive and the sale will be done as it would take time to get all of that done

I will make a down payment of $2000 and also I will include the test drive fees which will cost for $2500 and mind you I want the payment made out to you by check and also as soon as the funds of $4500 have been cleared into your account I will like you to have the boat ready for the test drive process and also you will make the remaining funds of $2500 payable to the transporters to cover for the inspection/test drive fees and all other expenses during inspection

I will be looking forward for proceedings to you and also get back to me with the full names, mailing address and phone number the check can be made payable to you

I will be looking forward to hear from you

Regards
Erik"


Anyone have a paddle I can borrow for the test drive?

That should be an interesting test drive! I can't believe there are people that actually fall for this BS

Very nice, I'm passing this along to a friend of mine who is looking to upgrade from his 27 fever. Although I believe he's really looking for something turn-key I'll still show him this. Helps that you're local too.

no... the $4500 check never really clears, but your "reimbursement check of $2500 that he wants you to pay will clear & your S.O.L
