Surfacetension,

Look at the winshield, if it curves around like a velociy it is the 24 CS, I think the CS stood for Competition Skier?? Fountain built them for a few years, I have heard good things about them, however they are a sit down boat (no bolster) and have a shallow V, makes them very fast but rough in rough water.

If this is the one you are refering to it is the 24 CS

or

Hope this helps

No it,s not that I swear it looks like a 27 but the ad says 25 it,s on Boatrader in afton MN. It has a cover over the windshield but I still don,t think it,s a CS

iveyhoe 02-02-2003 08:13 AM

you can tell if its a 24cs. it does not have beak like the other fountains.

surfacetension 02-02-2003 08:25 AM

You can.t really see the nose in the picture, the more I look at it -- well maybe. I have seen a CS in the water sits real low, almost looked like it was sinking

iveyhoe 02-02-2003 05:56 PM

27 Fountain CS stands for competition series . the boat was made from 94 to 98

iveyhoe 02-02-2003 06:02 PM

I was directing this to 27 Fountain. the boat is 24cs . 24ft 8in.long

MnHowardCat 02-03-2003 11:54 AM

We looked at a 24' and a 27' Fountain side by side at the Fountain dealer the 24' is a vairy shallow sit down boat and not alot of cockpit room or cabin space. But if you wont fast lake boat thay go good and fast. We had a 27' for four years and were vairy happy with it. when you compare the 24' and 27' see what I'm trying to say the 27' is a lot mor boat.

P.S. I have seen that boat around town and it's been for sale for some time HHHHMMMM Good Luck;)

Let my know if you want some pic of that boat I live about twenty
minutes from Afton

surfacetension 02-03-2003 12:05 PM

Thanks , I called the dealer and spoke to a guy named JOE, he said he would call me back. As far as any pictures Yes if it,s a 27 fever no if it,s a CS . I keep looking at the picture and still can,t tell

MnHowardCat 02-03-2003 12:28 PM

I'm shure that it is a 24' he had his top made by the same guy I did I looked at the boat then.

Tinking back I had a 1991 27' and on some of the factory paper work it did say 25' and some said 27'. 1990 is when thay changed from meters to feet I don't know if thay didn't count the swim platform at first or jest a typo???

surfacetension 02-03-2003 12:41 PM

So does that mean it could be a 25 fever? and turn out to be a 27just called a 25, or is it a 24CS???? I guess what I,m saying is yes I would like some pictures IF it,s a bolster style stand up and drive Boat.

Is the boat in nice shape?

MnHowardCat 02-03-2003 12:56 PM

NO thats a 24CS I think mine was a typo I called Afton but jest got the recording.

The boat is in vary nice shape

Jana 02-03-2003 04:10 PM

I'm going to say 24CS. The sides below the swim platform look more angled than on the Fevers. Also, it looks like it has the long, non-beak bow.

Is there any way to email a pic of the boat or do you have access to the serial number which is located on the starboard aft of the boat.......I am almost certain that it is a 27'....Fountain has never produced a 25'.....a 24' was produced for a year and a half......there is a major difference in styling between the two....for one, the 24 has sit down bolsters instedad of drop out bolsters that are on most Fountains.....

US1 Fountain 02-03-2003 07:42 PM

Its a 24 CS. My 27 Fever has the US1 graphics.

I have all sorts of pictures of a 24CS from someone on OSO from a while back. I didn't realize that fountain made them that small. Really pretty interesting boat, light weight, w/ a 502. From email conversations, the boats are also equiped w/ internal bladders you can fill while at the lake for better wake-boarding? Anyway, if anyone would like a certain picture, let me know. I have about 25 or so of his boat. Definitely a sit down though! PM me if interested!

US1 Fountain 02-04-2003 06:20 PM

Naw, I wouldn't enjoy selling boats. Rather spend my weekends resting on the water, not in sone building. ;)
The buyer is to be here Sat for the boat.

surfacetension 02-04-2003 07:45 PM

Hope all goes well Saterday, then the fun begins "finding a new ride"

rjcardinal 02-04-2003 09:55 PM

The 24CS was listed at 24' 8" so mayby they rounded it up to 25. There was a guy on OSO awhile back that just bought a 24CS and he was calling it a 25. He said it was listed as 25' on the registration.

surfacetension 02-05-2003 07:44 AM

No problem , My copy of the ad said fever and at 30K that would be some deal, but you know what they say " if it seems too good to be true then it probably is" Thanks to all who responded

joeb 02-05-2003 05:10 PM

1995 Fountain 24CS
 
The boat is a 24CS, I updated the listing on it.
Thanks for your help on this Mark.
