Thanks Kelly O, the 38 went to British Columbia. I will miss the 120+ speed of that boat, unbelievably great boat.

A friend used to have his sea Ray docked next to him. That guy who owned it was a trip!

Those props look like extended hub Herrings. Congrats on the move to a 42.. I wish I had the means to roll with a 42

Props are just Bravo Ones. Buying this 42 was by far the cheapest Fountain I have owned since the others were new. The 08 700 boat was slightly used but still a lot compared to this 42. Seems if you are patient there are some real nice Fountains out there if you are not In a hurry and do not mind a used boat. New is great but the prices are crazy high now on anything with any good power in them.

Paint looks great! That boat was on my short list but I ended up trading my 32 for a different 42 at shogren's.

Thanks for the positive comments. It has a been a good project for this winter. I have pulled the engines and painted the engine compartment so that looks like new again. I am finishing up the engines now and they should go back in next week. Just waiting for the new rocker's and cams but they should be here today or tomorrow.
