Wonder how it runs with 6.2s

Just noticed, looks like they are using y pipe and no thru hulls. Wonder what that's about. Lol

Probably a pic of the motor install prior to being complete.

Crude Intentions 01-21-2014 08:19 PM

Tough to tell. I keep tryin. Lol

Looks like they capped the holes. What yr is it? The cabin benches look like late 80's style, or was this a cabin option?

This has sat on a lift in the Wiggins Pass Boat Ramp/Marina for as long as I can remember.

Crude Intentions 01-21-2014 09:31 PM

I was thinking late 80s based on cabin also

Exhaust manifolds routing exhaust through the prop hub. That's why they sealed off the holes..

I know. That's why I said using ypipe. Still strange on a fountain.

Didn't some of the 35' Fountains have issues with water coming in through the exhaust cut outs when coming of plane? That might be the reasoning behind through hub vs through hull...

c_deezy 01-22-2014 10:05 AM

They probably capped off the thru-hulls because when they swapped to small blocks the holes didn't line up anymore.

Sounds like somebody recognizes/knows the boat, I would have to guess it belongs to an older person that just uses it to get around, hence the reason for the small-blocks replacing the big blocks (no need for speed) and the exhaust running thru the prop. The hull/cockpit/cabin look good, but the bilge is filthy.

I just want to know what kinda 35' Fountain cabin will sleep 4 adults?
