29 Fountain Sport Fish 1998
Just picked up this last week, Has single 454 efi, not had out since sea trial, didn't run hard, but when I got it home surprised that it has a 17pitch 4 blade prop??
thinking it needs 20 or 21? Suggestions on anyone that has similar boat. Currently re doing trailer cause was crap and unsafe.. plus all trim cables froze, k planes were added with pwr steering. Needs some TLC but has never been in a slip, always dry docked, its solid less than 10 on moisture meter. Previous owner didn't know how to run the boat, had for week and sold it.. didn't like it? So when I did sea trial he was second guessing him self after I had it trimmed out, lol He bought it for the fishing room, well its a stepped performance hull, was used to a trawler I guess. |
I'm in the Toledo area and was going to come take a look at this boat , but you beat me to it. I was surprised to see your thread on here. Did you get it squared away ? Running well , cables and trailer fixed ? I would be interested in it if your wanted to sell

Trailer, re worked the crank arm riser and new crank, had to raise 20'' after welding on a new mount. Need to raise 2 bunks and shorten them and re cover. Might be interested, only had out once just after cables last Sunday, still some gel coat too be done. If too sell would be in mid to upper 20's |
sounds like you are going about things the correct way, I would be interested; [email protected]

Still be at it, been too hot to do much glass work, relocated fuse block, put it into a tight case, impeller housing and thermostat. Doing fuel pump relays and figuring out cut wires, seems to be for live wells, which is no biggie, been the worst "water ready" boat I have bought..should be ready for water in couple weeks, out of town next weekend. Fish not active now anyhow..

just following up as I spoke with you last june and you beat me to this boat, but said you had a lot of work to do , but would consider selling. Did you get it finished and if so, any interest in selling it ?

Not really dumped quite a bit into it, in last phase, built a 500 hp 500 torque engine.
