You may consider adding some push-pin fender holders to each side at the rear of the sun pad. Many docks or boats will be higher than the Fountain at the rear corners, so fendering off the rear cleat will not get the fender high enough to protect your boat. A rugged suction cup mount may work also. Losing the side rails for hanging fenders is the only function lost, boat looks sleek without them.

Hey Todd,
heard you making the trip down while we were down there. We just got back and I had to look it up and see what you got.
Nice choice and nice upgrade and nice mph #'s. Even a boat from here what's the luck.
Have to check it out soon.
If you need ideas on the down turns you may be able to copy something close to my setup.
Have to chat and see what runs your planning

Got yourself a great boat. I moved from a 27' Baja to a 2005 35 Lightning 3 years ago. Was a bit intimidated at first but these Fountains are such a blast l was in it every weekend and found it easier to run than the old single drive I'd had before. I also prefer the left hand sticks. Got the thumbs up at my marina, even from the sailboat boaters. Everyone seems to like the sound of twin 525s. Also found it easy to tow and launch with the custom Myco. My only regret is I didn't get the newer version (2007+). Congrats and have fun filled summer.
