That's pretty good.

Looks like a pretty clean boat. Would make a good lake throw down boat.

Cost me 2K to get it here from VT though.

He's down to 7500.
$2000? You are complaining about $2000?
You sure you're in the right sport?

Sometimes it seems like you don't care what you're running, as long as its the best deal which you can find.

Sorry, in this game, IMO, its all about what you're running...
$$ don't matter. And it doesn't have to be big $ to be cool out there... just your matter of choice.

Most of the time for me it IS all about the best deal. But my Magnum wasn't the best deal, and it is turning into a worse deal everyday with the cash that I am throwing at it, but I know it is a fun boat because I have ripped it up in it all ready.

As far as the run of the mill big boats, there are a ton of them out there, so why not wait until you find the best deal on something.

That little checkmate would make a good lake boat down here.

Clean and running. Alpha drive on it though takes away the opportunity for upgrading power, but really there is no need to do that with a faster one hanging right next to it in the boat house.

We took all the whales and lettering off the boat, and it looks better than it did. My son is a graphic artist (had done a lot of Nascar and Hooters Pro Cup work) and he can put any wrap on it you want. If I keep it, he already has a design ready for me, but I've been real happy with the Party Cat for my type of boating, so I would like to dispose of the Fountain, preferrably through a trade of some kind. I would consider about anything, especially a houseboat, muscle car, Corvette, etc.

Boat looks 100% better than it did when it left here. After what Mark told me, you have a really nice rig there. You should keep it. I would if it were mine.

Good luck with it.:ernaehrung004:

The other thing with me also, is that I know what I want, and it is not in the budget, so I am looking for the boat that will accomplish what I want to accomplish until I can afford what I really want.

So until the day comes that I can grab that 40' skater, I am looking for the best deal on a Top Gun etc. that I can find that I will loose the least amount of equity and spend the least amount on broken parts, so that when I have to get rid of it, I am further away from the loosing end.

That is why it is allways about the deal with me.

Heavyhauler,

What kind of fountain do you have? what model? I have a Gibson 50' houseboat that I am looking to trade towards another powerboat. I can't receive PM's anymore. My email is [email protected]

Scott

I sent the info to your email address

Jeff, this don't look so bad for under 40K.

Yeah it does. Cool boat, not for me.

if thats a 40' what size is that is that Scarab next to it? kinda makes that fountain look like a checkmate....or maybe its just the angle of the pic.......

That is a 38 Scarab. It is bigger if you take into account the 12' beak and 8 swim patio:evilb::evilb:

Let me run out back and check w/ my ruler. :D
Btw, nice 18yr olds in your avatar... got any more? :ernaehrung004:

whatever... if its clean, its alot of boat of the dollar. :eek::evilb:

I actually think its a 12 M Fountain ,,which is the same as a 38 foot scarab !!!!

(the Scarab is actually 24 cm= .7 feet longer )
:food-smiley-007:

For that money in this market a deal ,,but not a good deal !!:party-smiley-004:

feel free to point out the swim patio on that fountain:grinser010:

The patio was an extra joke in itself.

Good shot tatoo. :grinser010::evilb:

Check out the 32 Midnight express in the owners forum, and on ebay.

That boat was rigged really nice. Had modified 500HP's, Cmi's, extension boxes and bravos, external steering could have bought the whole thing at one time for 25K. Glad he got it parted out, because he got more money that way. Talked to him a couple times, just don't need any more parts or projects. Looking for turn key running right now.

Really? what are you gonna do w/ a turn key boat??:party-smiley-004:

Probably tear it apart and make it a project! :angry-smiley-038:

That is the truth.......:party-smiley-004:

We will know in less than 3 hours. I had one looked at and it was given 3 thumbs up and a beer can rating. Auction sniper is set. Hope I got it high enough.

i dont know if this is what your looking for but it looks decent for the price.

Big boat... lotsa fuel. :eek:
OH YEA.... and a great project.

I don't know this boat, or anything about it. I saw it today and thought that it looked like a good deal. No trailer however. But it seems like it has potential.

Here is a great deal:

I know the boat and it is super clean. The owner takes care of his stuff very well. Hell, he may even be interested in a trade!
