My first real offshore boat!

I just bought an '84 Fountain 10 Meter from mshea. Great guy to deal with (bent over backwards for me).
The boat is awesome overall. I need some guidance on motors. And, I am looking for updated throttles, dash, and guages (used is ok- It still has the original Morse controlls!).

I'm psyched!

Bryan - welcome to the Fountain owners forum!

There are some good sites out there to go "fishing" for parts:

http://www.cpperformance.com
http://www.dolleroffshore.com
http://www.eddiemarine.com

Also look at mshea's thread on cockpit/interior/dash updates:

http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/s...threadid=68399

Randy at Cobra Power has a TON of used engine parts, brackets, and misc stuff from re-rig jobs. He's hooked me up on a few occasions.

He's at http://www.cobrapower.com

We want pictures!

Congrats!
Brian

Bryan...........If you look under his thread" engine recommendations for a 84 10 mtr" I did tell him I have a pr of spare engines that are single carb 588 cu in 750+ hp COMPLETE oil pan to flame arrestor, (no accessories) The engines are currently dissambled for inspection. I was considering putting in blower pistons and adding superchargers but, these engines REALLY rock with the combo they have!!! In a friend of mines 38 gun, we ran 89 on both gps's. I know my 10 mtr will run at least 100 with them in it. They are spares, and I would consider sellin them.

10X,

Thanks. I'm looking for something a little more tame as I don't think that I can afford motors like that. I need to get the boat home before I buy power. I'm not sure what is up with the power that is in it (maybe cracked blocks). I'm looking a Fri. to have it home.

I'm looking to buy white dash/gauges/throttles though...

Bryan

Back4 More has his complete dash and side panel for sale in the parts for sale section. It is an excellent price for all that you are getting.
