Default Time For a Change

After 6 great seasons and many memories made, it's time for a new chapter. Hoping to find a dedicated Fountain fan to carry on the legacy.

Agreed that this is a real beauty! I've seen it in action at the ROPA run on Seneca, and it not only looks great, it runs great!

GLWS, it should "moooooove" fast!

Awesome boat. GLWS. I guess after owning this boat the only thing that would do is a 42 PR. A standard 700/6 42 has nothing on this one. Lol

I do hope it stays somewhat local so I could finally get to enjoy hearing and watching it run.

Can't say what is next for sure, the boats that are clean enough and perform well enough to replace this one are few and far between.

Worst case scenario is I get to keep it and continue embarrassing bigger 'faster' boats.

A relief to hear that you will be looking for something to "perform well enough to replace this one."
I was getting worried that maybe the wifey got you into a totally cruiser or (GASP!) pontoon mood.

GLWS. We made drastic changes ourselves, after been boaters for life. Bought a cruiser 6 yrs ago, but kept the Fountain for the speed fix. But those speed fixes never happened, so boat sat for 5 yrs. Sold it last fall. Then sold the cruiser/slip/ and lift this summer. Out of boating all together at this time. Now we are hard core Harley riders, road tripping every weekend. Everywhere we go, its always new people, new stories, new adventures. We will be back into boating though. Its a passion.

Expected some debate about the performance of this boat, the Facebook community has not disappointed.

The boat's condition and performance speaks for itself......but it is winter !!
