Default new to the Fountain family

I just picked up a new to me 1998 32 fever. I took it to Possum Kingdom this weekend and properly broke her in. It has twin 502 Mags, with less that 20 hours on new motors. I got her up to 72 on GPS, and still had some left. The previous owner says she'll do 78 all day long.
I have to thank you guys on OSO, because I was able to do a TON of research before I pulled the trigger, and was knowledgable enough after to be able to buy it with confidence. It seems to have all the issues that most people on here complain about, mainly the rubrail leaking, and water puddling up at the cuddy step after it got rained on Saturday. I'm going to yank the rub rail off this week and give it a good sealing up with 5200, so that should get that issue taken care of. I go to Lewisville here in Dallas mostly, so if you see me out, feel free to tie up and hang out! I'll definitely be out there this next weekend if the weather will cooperate.

We actually bought that boat from Peir 57 with 25 hours on it. It had a windshield before we picked it up, 5k later we put the Fairing on it. The boat was bought new by jeff gordon then he traded up or so we were told, great boat . I believe that was in 99.

No more pics yet. I spent most of the day tearing into a few small issues that it's having. I'm having a cooling issue on the port motor, i think it's because of the freshwater flush valve that looks to have been added later. I appreciate all the congrats, this is an awesome forum. I'm moving up from a 25 Baja, so it's a big move.
