29 Fountain WTB
 

Any 2005 and newer 29's with a low hr 525 out there for sale?

There is a nice one on ebay.. 2005, 29/525 165 hrs.. 70K buy it now with trailer included.

The trailer does not look like the right one for that boat. Or is it just me. I also would try to find a fresh water boat rather than a salt water one.

I have one, a 2004 with an HP525 and a Myco trailer.
I bought it new and I keep it in a heated shop, always indoors.
Serviced, winterized and ready to go.
Nice colors - blue, black, and silver.
3 time show winner.

PM or email me if interested...

Thanks guys but looking for a fresh water boat!

How about a 575 with SCX drive

Good luck with that.. if it has low hours it does not matter if It was run in salt, as long as it wasnt left in water you would never even know the difference. :whistle:

+1 Engine is closed cooling so you don't have to worry about salt water being run through it, just the accessories.

And the exhaust and the heat exchangers. I also understand the 525's need to be refreshed with possibly new valve springs etc at 300 hrs.

I reiterate if it wasn't left in water it really doesn't matter.. especially on a low hour boat. Anyways good luck even finding one of those, the few that do pop up for sale sell at very high prices.

Looking for a new owner!

PM if interested....

I agree on price. Salt water corrodes all the electrical connections etc. Put a fresh water boat and a salt water boat side by side and you decide. I have a 27 now and finally just gave up on a 29. My 05' 27 with a 496HO has been flawless by the way. The best boat I have ever owned. I use it on a fairly large and sometimes rough lake. I decided I didn't really need a 29. I tried to buy a '10 29 and the guy would not move off of 120K. I don't really like the rail around the rear pad either. I never use it with the boat moving but use it a ton when sitting.

ahahah come on. You must not work or maintain your own boat

Didn't even affect my rigging. That package probably has around 1500 hours in the salt. It's not the salt or the boat; it's the person taking care of it.

If you run in salt there is always constant erosion. In fresh water , not so much. As long as you replace eroded parts like thermostat housings etc. A boat should be fine after years of use.. Then if you take that boat to freshwater. The constant eriosion and corrosion will sease. At least mostly. So a salt water boatis still a great boat... As long as all the eroded parts have been replaced or maintained. I just don't like saltwater running through my bildge pump or getting all on my trailer. :D

I have worked on my own boats for 20 years. Fortunatly the one I have now hasn't required much. Just maintainance and a GPS antenna. Some of the others I have had required quite a bit.

None of this applies for me. My thermostat housing is full of antifreeze. It's all bout the owner.

Get to workin' so you can fix my paint again!!! :lolhit:
