Flew down to Florida and checked the 99 35 lightning at Fastboats out it was in a lot better shape than what the pictures show also had a full survey done that came back good hopefully I won't be disapoonted it also came with a welded aluminium Myco trailer that looks like it has hardly even been used don't think I did bad for $35000
|
If your happy with the deal, thats all that matters, what's in it for power
|
99 35 fountain
It has 500efi's and But I am putting the Ateco 125hp kits on them
|
Not bad is an under statement....was'nt it listed for 60-70K??? I'll take a half dozen at that price!! Unless it does'nt have power and drives????
|
Tell me about these kits, Im building 540's with the 500 EFI units. Was it an out right purchase or a trade in diff.
|
99 35 fountain
He has the kits listed in the classified section in the engines section it is basically dart aluminium head,cam,roller lifters ,timing set,push rods for $4500 and I am adding .030 over pistons to make them 509's and they will make around 630hp he also reprograms the computer for the $4500
|
OK, I thought it was an EFI upgrade, congrats on the boat, not really any bigger than ur 33 is it.
|
it's probably a bit tighter the a 33 OL, I had a '99 35 a few years ago, great boat , you should see mid to high 80's with that set up, good luck with it, sounds like you got a great deal
|
99 35 fountain
Yes the 33 OL and the 35 fountain are about the same size but the fountain is built 10 times better
|
Oh I know, I've had a few Baja's over the years, :whistle:
|
congrats on the purchase nice rig
|
Gotta love boat buying in winter! Killer deal!
|
$35k wtf?
|
Wow that is a killer deal......and it looks to have close to the same color scheme as your old boat, you won't need to shell out for new matching bikinis :D
If you don't have a soft cooler yet get one, you won't have the floor space you had in the OLaw. You are going to love the wave handling, acceleration and top speed compared to your Baja. Congrats! |
Congrats! What a nice deal! Got some pics?
|
is there a warrant out for your arrest because you sure stole that boat,fantastic deal,enjoy.
|
4500 $ in engine upgrade? per engine? or 45004 for both?
35 really is a deal!!! |
Congrats, welcome to the family

Wow! I'm jealous as he!!. I shopped and shopped, and then shopped some more over the last 6 months for a Fountain. I paid 3k more than you for a 98 with brand new merc 502s. Kudos to you, that's one badass ride! I looked and looked for a 35 in the uder 40k price range, and the only one I found was a 96 in KY with 502s. Please tell me it's a saltwater boat, just to alleviate my second guessing...

MAN! Congratz on the sweet deal! I didn't see it mentioned but how many hours on the hull/motors and drives? What was the asking price?
Wife and I have been looking at everything from Fountains to Donzi's to older CIGS...just depends on where we land I guess but think someone mentioned it listed in the 60's (?) man, that's a 50% discount....I was in the business for a lot of years and I'm not even that good....I'm taking you with us when we sell ours and pull the trigger on new! Congratz again! |
35 fountain
It is a saltwater boat engines have 275 and 278 hours on them and that was read from the computers not the hourmeters they were askin in the 60's a year and a half ago and dropped to 49 and I offered low 30's and bought it for 35
|
Wow that is a deal.
|
Congrats, thats a lot of boat for $35K.
Never hurts to low ball. Did you go for a sea trial? |
Nice ride! Enjoy
|
Are you tearing them down? Looks like salt got ahold of the paint on the blocks... Paint them pink. That's what 33outlaw is doing...:lolhit:
|
Excellent buy! Congrats!
|
Nice boat! Sounds like you got a great deal too! Myco trailer as well, good for you!
|
Great deal. I might add that whatever you do don't forget to pressure test the CMI's. Will give you peace of mind and possibly save you lots of $$$$.
|
Looks great, 35's are very fun to drive and have a great ride, she'll fly straight and true...
Congratulations, sounds like you were at the right place at the right time, good for you, enjoy. |
Congrats on your sweet deal....you are making plenty guys jealous and alot more upset!!! These deals are not everyday avail but we can say JAB worked it for sure and made out for his efforts.
Hopefully your summer looks like this--Enjoy :bunnydance::bunnydance::evilb::bunnydance::bunnyd ance: |
35
Congrats and good luck.
|
Congratulations!
|
I see that you are selling the HP500EFI heads and cams, so does that mean you bought the Aetco kits?
Are you rebuilding the short blocks? |
35 fountain
Yep went ahead and bought the ateco kits boat ran great before but it was about time to freshen up the engines so I decided to go bigger while I had them apart
|
How many hours on the motors and what made you decide they needed refreshing?
I have the same motors sooooooooooooooooo |
35 fountain
They had 270 hours and so it was close to time for at least valve springs
