Our New Twin 650HP Big Block Running Strong!!
#132
What scares me, is a guy goes and buys a 35 Fountain. Which is a serious machine, 1989 or 1999. However, he doesnt know whether his hull is stepped or not. He knows nothing of the history of Fountains, what years were what, what speeds they run with XXX power, and so on. He knows enough though that he wants to stuff 650HP engines in it, and go 100MPH. I'm sorry but thats what the offshore hobby has turned into these days. I have a few bucks, I really dont know anything, but I wanna go fast.

I will be emailing fountain this evening with all the pics of the boat exterior and Interior and cabin so they can look at it. Also I am going to measure the boat length myself and see what I get. I need to know the proper way to measure it to make sure though.

Why do you need to measure the boat, it has been said 20 times in this thread the 33 and 35 are the same boat, THE SAME. The 33 was the measurement before fountain counted the swim platform, the 35 was after they counted that in the NAME. The LOA on both boats is 35 ft.
I can understand how this site can be frustrated to the newbie, however it is equally as frustrating for people that have been in the sport their whole life to have a conflict with someone that was feed chit and believes it. We are trying to help, but understand our frustration as well.
When it is all said and done, you will look back at this someday and give advice to another newbie that is just as blind as you are right now.
Do you mind sharing with us what you paid for the boat? Is the previous owner on the internet?

If this is fantasy island huh? You're right, we should have just helped him get his one off 1999 35 fountain up to 100 and left it at that, fed him more of the tripe that the last guy did.
You sir are an idiot

What gets me is that A) you have no clue what you bought/have owned for the last two years, but B) that no one in the last two years has asked "what year is your boat" and went whoa!!!! when you told them a 1999. I get asked about 5 times a weekend what year my Fountain is. It would take most of us less than 10 seconds to know that boat is nowhere near a 1999. You still haven't told us what the title or registration says. I smell something like bulll****t.

Maybe if you knew anything about boats you would understand my post? I just read some of your contributions to the site, nice condescending cynical posts you have there "daddy".
