Just talked to someone at Fountain and this is not the factory boat. The one from the factory is in NY somewhere and it ran 125 plus but was out of control. This one was done by Legendary Marine and belonged to a doctor we think. Nice looking boat.

700/nxt

Yes, it sounds like "Kelly O" has the only 35 that had factory 700s. This one a dentist bought, had XRs and 525s, and purchased the 700s/6s afterwards. Kelly said they spaced the drives and put limiters on the tabs of his. I am sure this exact same thing was done on this one. Thanks for the info.

I was thinking the same thing... a 35 with 700's would have to be crazy fast with not much boat in the water.

Kelly O's is the only 35 ever built at the factory with 700's and 6's. It was / is a rocket!

I'll let Kelly chime in with the history, but will say that I have been in the boat at speed and it is on a rail, when in the right hands.

I had a long conversation with Reggie at the Miami Show a couple years back and he swore they only ever made one 35 with 700-#6's. Kelly has that boat. I wanted one so bad I searched out and bought one of the (only 3 I think) 35's made with 600's. I am referring to 07 and later Lightnings with staggered motors. I did Whipple's 750HP upgrage to mine. :daz:
OMG hang on tight, it is a wild ride!

Cruising about 115.

And A video of ARB's boat would look very similar to that video.. Wow. That boat was def. flying !!!!! Back to Al's boat, It has the new style interior...

Al, when you sell your 38 are you going to get something like this??

That boat would be a great one to have. I have talked to the owner several times and bought some props from him to use on the 38. I really like this 38 and have some things to try on the set up to get it faster. I want to run over 120 in next years Shootout if I still have the boat. Only put 8 hrs on it this year so it is not getting worn out.

I'm witth ya on the numbers. I would like to run in the 120's someday too. When I get the funds I might 850 my set up.. Or if I really had the $ I would go w someting like that 42.. 130's would be really spectacular. But you are at about 120 already. Just have to get there quick enough for the shootout pass.

ratedX...have you found any leads yet?

I fell in love with that 42 when Matthew had it with 700's, it's even sexier now! :bananalove:

I like Al's boat the best but we are a little apart on the numbers- he has a ton of money in his 38 and certainly is a great 38 if not the best one. I only have 200k to spend.

I have a 2009 42 Fountain with 2 700 staggered with number 6 drive sump boat only has 20hr still has full merc warrentys looking to move this asap $233,000 will consider some trades. pm me or call 9174051069 Thanks Rob

Al has been been truly a gentleman and i would reccomend to everyone here that he is a great person to buy from!

Need about another 15k to buy Al's boat! maybe al will hold it for me ? Thanks again Al!

Dig up another coffee can, Al's boat is worth it! :daz:

i agree-it is worth it! but where are all the buyers? soon or later it will find a new home hopefully it will me

Thank's for favorable coments. The 38 is a great boat.

Do you still have your 525 38 for sale ? That's the boat I'm looking for.

Yes he does...

Now I need to find one to look at and get a ride in. My wife and I have not been in the 38 and I need to get a demo before I am pulling the trigger.

I am new to these forums and will post a thread to try and find one on the West Coast or to take a look at.

It doesn't matter where it's located when I find the right one I will go get it.

I have a 38 in North San Diego county. Going to Havasu this next weekend. I'll give you a ride... But I can tell you right now.. You won't need it cause you are gonna love it right away.. I guarantee it :D

Quite random... you just posting this up all of a sudden :lolhit:

It was for RatedX, or whoever started this thread looking for one. Of all the random, nonsense, drunk posting I do... you hate on my only sober post of 2013... :thankyouthankyou:

2007 -38 with 600 in lake George 56 hrs. 225k on boattrader.

I was looking at that too. Low hrs, 700's and I think there are #6's on there (Ad says NXT#6's?). Seems like a reasonable asking price. What does everyone else think?

38 w/ 700#
