No Longer Just a DREAM...
From our first sighting back in 88, piloting a Fountain has been a dream of ours....
Last week we closed our deal on a 2004 35 Lightning. Man we are soooo excited, this is our first venture into performance boating and can't wait to settle into that bolster for the first time. I made a few post's to the OSO family as "The Executioner" (that'l teach me) and your input helped greatly in our decision between a 32 or 35. Special thanks to the OSO Admin's who graciously let me change my screen name to our boat's name. 35 Lightning / Twin 500efi / XR Drives / Plasma graphics. The 525's would have been sweet, but this started out as a used 32 proposition, funny how things changed along the way $$$. The best part was my wife was the one suggesting the changes. Major thanks to Randy Hartmann and his wife Vaughn at Lake Cumberland Marine for helping make this a reality. Randy and his staff are first class, and I have never seen so much performance in one location. I've got a couple other questions to post so I look forward to spending time with this group as a Fountain Owner :) Kent & Marti Proud owners of "Summer Heat" |
Big Congrats Summer Heat!!! - Now you need to get some pics posted asap :)
|
We hope to have her by the end of April, and believe me the ol digital will charged and ready.

You'll LOVE it!!! Big Congrats..

Excellent news & congrats!
I understand the feeling you have! First the sleepless nights on what to order, then pulling the trigger, & then the wait. When they call you to tell you your boat's in, it's another crazy feeling. I remember driving to the dealership to pick up the new Fountain thinking I was going to crap my pants (literally), kinda like the feeling you get prior to large public speaking. In any event, it's an exciting experience & share it with your OSO Fountain friends! Bring on the pics! :cool: |
Congrats on the new toy !!! Welcome to the Fountain family....Frank

Congrats, on the new boat. I dont think you will regret your choice. The 32 is nice. The 35 is even better. |
Cool! If you are ever near KY. Lake, look me up.

I love mine as it sits in the driveway under a foot of fresh snow:( I make vroom vroom sounds until the neighbors call the cops...:p |
Summer Heat,
Ya done good! Nice power, nice boat. Welcome to the Fountain forum, and share pics when you can. That's pretty close to mine, only 18 years apart... Enjoy! |
Summer Heat
Not to rub it in but Ha Ha...we had ours out last weekend. We had a ball. I bet you are getting excited by now. How many more weeks till she is delivered? Heck, I bet you even have it figured down to the hour, don't you? |
Sea Dated, you dog you...:), I'll bet your still smiling from your maiden voyage.
Unfortunately we lost the 35 Lightning that was on the line due to some custom graphics we wanted on the deck. Wyatt and Dave have been great working with us to get the package we want, while we are doing nothing radical it has delayed the process getting away from Fountain's standard art. We should wrap up on Monday and it's off to the races to get her delivered the first week of May. Cannot wait to throttle Summer Heat up for the first time! |
Wow... Enjoy!! Great name and great boat!!
Good Luck!! |
i love it.. YOU GOTTA DREAM TO HAVE DREAMS COME TRUE...
dream weaver! when the dream turns into a want, then its a need, and then u fill the need,, i hate when they put in the add: no dreamers,, if we dont dream about em why would u ever spend this much money on one.. walt disney had a dream.. guess dreams can be reality,, :eureka: :D |
Summer Heat
You're right...I have a grin from ear to ear stuck on my face. Definitely a fun toy. It sounds like you only got set back a few weeks..not bad...still in plenty of time to get a full summer in. I can't wait to see it. Keep us informed. Jonas I couldn't agree with you more. Right on. Dreams do come true!! |
