Need some advice
 

I have had formula's in the past and my last one was an 87 SR-311 and I LOVED that boat. Some A-hole trashed it and I sold it but i'm ready for a new one so I was looking around. Well, I found a fountain instead. It is a 83 10 meter with blown 468's and what I believe are SSM#3 drives (doesn't say exactly). I live in Detroit and the boat is in St. Louis. It looks great and it's been quite updated i'm just curious if anyone has came across this boat and knows anything I should know about it. Thoughts please, even the negative ones.

Posting for the boat:

Those look like speedy 2's, not a bad drive just kinda rare, but a spare set of trs' and bravo type props on hand is no big deal. For 22k obo and it checks out I can't see it being a bad deal.

That's kind of what I was thinking. It does not have a recent survey and I emailed them back and asked if I could have one done with it out of the water. Just waiting on a response from them. I think you are right on #2's cause I have sen #3's and #6's and the ones on the boat look different.

Def not 3's email me I can send you pics of the 3's on my boat.

2's are getting hard to find parts for , when I had some on a 33 Fountain back in the 80's my experience was not good . There is a guy here on OSO now , who is having trouble finding the pieces to put some back together .

That cabin must have seen its fare share of skanks with all the laundry Bounce Sheets covering the bed.

there was a guy this winter on detroit/metro craigslist selling #2's for best offer/get them out of my way type thing. I cant remember exactly what i wa searching for, but I was most likely searching BBC, fountain, etc.....good luck with your search

I also noticed this older 12m in wisconsin, looks like a pretty clean boat/decent price
