Thanks Dan!!! :drink:

Re: Inside FOUNTAIN 2
 

Thats not really a water pickup is it?

Re: Inside FOUNTAIN 2
 

Wow, very impressive...... until the last photos. Thanks Sharkey!

For a boat going to a boat show to be on stands, a little more time could have been spent on that area. Looks like a hole there too!

Re: Inside FOUNTAIN 2
 

That's all I can think of it being. That one there is midship and there was another one towards the transom.



My guess is the hole may have been a pilot hole to drill from the outside in. But with the pickup being off center to the vee in the pad, it looks as though they drilled from the inside out...

Here.....I zoomed it in for you......;)
Clearly it is not a beer can..... :D

Click on it for a closer look...

Re: Inside FOUNTAIN 2
 

That was my thought to. My point was for this boat to have been brought to a show, then put up on stands for all to see, clean up the sealant and fill in the hole. Very poor desicion to have let it out the door under these circumstances.

I DO AGREE! :eek:

749 000$ :eek: :eek: Are They out of their minds? :rolleyes:

Re: Inside FOUNTAIN 2
 

I think a fountain rig leaves alot to be desired!!!!!!!!

Re: Inside FOUNTAIN 2
 

Was going through some of my stuff.....

I bet you guys never knew I was VIP at Fountain at one time... :D :D :D

Re: Inside FOUNTAIN 2
 

My dealer was working the show & told me the 47 got sold.

Re: Inside FOUNTAIN 2
 

I understand that this boat was not finished before it left for the show. Obviously, there is still some rigging and finish work left to do.

Re: Inside FOUNTAIN 2
 

Sharkey,

By any chance did you get a peak of the bottom or any shots?? They have to run two water pickups for the 1075 Mercs that are in her. The forward pickup looked like it was installed by a bunch of Jerry's Kids. I never expected to see that poor of craftsmanship on this boat being it was from Fountain. Hopefully they will find a much neater way of doing it.

Re: Inside FOUNTAIN 2
 

There was an additional pickup at the transom. The only shots of the bottom I have I already posted above...
I didn't bother with the bottom towards the transom because it was blocked by a curtain and the boat stand.

Re: Inside FOUNTAIN 2
 

Alittle birdie told me they are heat exchange pickups...placed there so that do not get to much pressure

Re: Inside FOUNTAIN 2
 

I bet Vandyo21 will disagree with you on the Cig:eek:

Re: Inside FOUNTAIN 2
 

Not the way I prefer to look inside a boat... :( :( :(


A very sad sight to see....... :(

ugggh! :( :(

Re: Inside FOUNTAIN 2
 

very disturbing...

Re: Inside FOUNTAIN 2
 

That is some of the worst workmanship ever. Not that it matters, but the pickup isn't even centered. Oh, nice pics of the bottom as well. Thanks! :D

Re: Inside FOUNTAIN 2
 

seen that burned boat here in the 1000 Islands before. Looks like it was in a fire? not a boat fire itself?

Re: Inside FOUNTAIN 2
 

That's what I read Rippem...

Some good buffing compound and it'll be good as new. :evilb:
