Fountain 42 lightning shelburne, VT ??
 

Hi all

Going to look at this boat this afternoon. I have made the trip from New York up here. Any info/ input?

100mph sounds a little ambitious?

John , there is a 2000 42 with trip 525 sc here on Long Island for sale. Was a fresh water boat. $65k

There was another one in burlington it was a 99 triple 500 injected engine, that i know was cleaner than most boat, for 69k.
2 years younger, with more popular engines... I'd wait to see this boat before pullung the trigger on that 97

Good luck!

I found his number from when he sent me his survey by fax if you need it

I see that boat listed for $70, on cl. Shows pics with no lowers on drives. Seems a little odd to not mention why. It's a good comparison for the one in VT. Boat up here claims to have somewhat fresh motors, that could be a big selling point. We shall see.

Drives were off for winter. Boat was stored in a building right next to mine. I know the owner personally if youre interested.

Trip engine boat are not selling for big money when you can get twin stagger ,less maint. and not much speed difference for less money. There are some that are converting triple to twins.

My friend just sold his 2000 42 staggered lightning for 70k. Every aspect of the boat was new or rebuilt. 540/700 hp. completely new, cranks, aluminum dart 325, billet serpentine pulley set up etc etc. new Xr hew Hardin marine headers. All metal in the boat was powder coated . Hoss trailer blasted and painted, new brakes and rubber. Gen, air stereo etc. had dated paint removed, all white and timeless. Carpets new etc. etc. etc. this just shows you what is out there. It's still a buyers market and as stated above, trips aren't bringing big money, just the opposite. Good luck with the search

Well, how was the boat?
