The boat looks very clean!!!

not a fan of 525 sc's even though they were good engines... besides that boat looks great!

Can't go wrong buying from Scott.

If that is as clean as it looks seems to be a lot of boat for the money.

I like the old school look.

Where else you gonna get into a 42' that clean that doesn't really need any updating for that price? If its really that nice, you can't go wrong. Go for it!

What about the Formula 336 they have listed? Really have to look hard as it's cammo. :picard1:

Hope " getting detailed " means stripping that **** off there. :drink:


The Fountain does look nice. Good luck...

Can't find it.... Lol

What are you looking to get out of your OL trade wise?

Boat and trailer 36k

Boat is awesome! I just got mine done or I would be trying to work a deal on it!!

What would the fountain run with the 525sc motors?

Looks like a nice boat. Lot of boat for the $, older superchargers with hours will require more maintenance not a bad thing but you have to be smart about it. Also what's the weight for towing purposes?

I'm guessing 70-72 @ 5psi...but that depends on the boost those 250 B&M are set up at. Mine stock with 525's/Bravo's ran 74.

looks like a nice rig, a lot of boat for the coin.

That was my boat for the last 10 years and 70-72 was the top speed. It is still in great condition,never kept in the water and always run easy...still the same engines and drives.

Was that thing in a time capsule for the last 20 years? Holy mackerel that thing is in great shape!

go old school or go home! that boat is clean!

I was thinking the exact same thing. Either someone spent a boat load of money and time restoring the boat and lost their ass or it has been sitting in a time capsule and has been clean, waxed and loved all the while. SUPER SHARP boat. Good luck

Sold!

Yep MY boy bill bought the boat a couple weeks ago traded his 29 in on it. Haven't seen it in person yet but hear its clean!

Yes it is even better looking in person!!! Installing A/C and a JL sound system before I hit the water.... I do want to give a big thanks to the Attitude crew for the tow rig to make the 3,500 mile trip and Pier 57 was great to deal with.

Well,Finally, I found my Fountain 42 lighting as well .

Good deal congrats... what year, power etc..?

I will post the pics and info as soon as I pick it up next week :)

I hear you I looked at many boats all over the country and they did not look like the piictures and had to move on. Got way too excited about to many deals that didnt happen. Many of my friends did not even know what I was up to until it was a done deal and in the driveway Good luck ! cant wait to see it. im doing some upgrades that ill be posting soon.

Good luck, can't wait to see it!

Steve,
We are waiting.... Did you get it yet? Should we send Jay over to get us some Pics.?

3 more days , leaving Wednesday after I get off work , 16 hrs drive to pick up this 42 lightning :)

How many hours did it take to get back home?

That's great !.. let's see pics... I was wondering where she was going.
Congrats!
