hello everyone im in some serious need of help, im completely new and ready to purchase a boat but know nothing.I really like the fountain fever 27,the wellcraft scarab 26 i think ,and the howard bullet 25.Can anyone tell me the story on these 3 . Any info would be really appreciated thank you!!!

Err, none of these are what I would reccomend as a "starter" boat....

Do a search on this site, plenty of info. goodluck.

Good price-turn key

The 27 is more of a 25 foot boat because of the extended beak in front and the molded swim platform. Fountain stoped making the 27, but there are still some left over in inventory.

I would go with the 27 Fountain because of build quality, but I am biased against west coast boats. I have read good reviews on the Howard Bullet, but mostly through Hot Boat who is reaaaaaally biased towards their west coast boats.

Call Brian at Joker Powerboats he has a 28' we are building a special motor for.

Trader......Shouldn't you be hiding Easter Eggs !!!! Dave

thanks for taking time to help me,but if none of these are good starters, what would you say is? i have driven a 27 ft. boat before.

thanks again,
disaster

A 27 Fountain will be fine as a starter boat. We ain't talking no 100mph race machine here.

Why loose money buying a smaller boat, only to step up later in the summer?
