Re: 35X w/525s ?
 

There's a 2002 38 lightning with 575sc's for sale in NH that only has 28 hours on it. They want $169k for it and I think they'd take less than that. It's been for sale since it was new.

I have been thinking about making a run at that boat... I am more leaning toward a 35 w/525s but that looks like a great deal... all except the high winshield and paint.... :mad:

Re: 35X w/525s ?
 

Masher,

The factory can replace the windshield and will repaint the boat for you. If you can buy it right, you can afford to make it the way you want it. The 38 w/ 575's is a FUN package.

Re: 35X w/525s ?
 

I got a quote once for a shortie windshield at 12K from the factory....for my 29' ... And I am really a blue guy and was hoping for a blue interior. I like that package though and might consider it.... I would have to sell mine.... The paint job would be what...10K? for nothing super fancy? 5K?
I might be washed up on the prices but that would be another 15 to 20K...?

Hello Hammer34

Fountain will not sell a boat from the factory without power, if you want to repower, call Leon and make a deal with him, he could sell you a set of his 650 HP engines and turn around and give you a credit for the new 496 HO's. Also, Leon could do the rigging for you at his shop in Pottsboro.

BTW, I happen to have a new 2005 35 Executioner and a new 2005 35 Lightning in inventory. If you are in our sales area, give us a call.

I think it would be a complete replacement on the newer style windshields. I have just got to decide if I am going to jump into looking for a new boat before I start running people around. I am starting to like that red one.... I could live with it for about 150K :D

Re: 35X w/525s ?
 

Actually just showed the better half the red boat and.... she LOVED it... hmmmm.... anyone know the true costs of the shortie windshield?

Re: 35X w/525s ?
 

Does anyone have any knowledge of this boat? any problems? why hasnt it been sold?

Re: 35X w/525s ?
 

For that matter.... does anyone know the dealer? Silver Sands.... I am from MA but have not heard of them....or anyone who I should speak to? Thanks Jim

The shorty windshield is ~$7,200 and the race fairing is not worth the hassle of changing - pretty big project. You will grow to like the tall windshield, it is much quieter, I can have a conversations with everyone in the cockpit at full throttle and if it rains you stay dry.
