Here we go with another Fountain vs every other boat thread again.

33 Outlaw poker run series, better build than standard 33OL
And your in luck, we have a freshwater boat a member here has for sale which is knocking the door on 100MPH
It was reduced in price several months ago but I don't know if it sold or not.
I encouraged him to keep it as a tender but with his new Cig I don't know!!!
Welcome to the club, it's a lot of fun here.
Congrats on your continuing education, getting back into boats, and most espcially having a wife.
Many of us jackwagons seem to forget whats important and let their love of the sport over run a great relationship.
Don't fall victim to that booby trap!!!
Did I really type booby and not mean tits LOL!!!

See ya,

29 OL is another good choice, just a tic under 30', you can find them in small & big blocks, pics of her friends are a requirement also ( female friends )

I had an Escalade EXT which is basically the same truck as the Denali and there is NO WAY that it would handle a 32'twin SAFELY. It barely handled my 27' Advantage and wanted no part of my 28. I have a Duramax now and wouldn't even think about going back.

I agree, I towed my 33 OL with my F-150 crew cab long bed four hours to the lake, didn't care for that at all

I was you 1.5 years ago and swore up and down I am keeping my escalade and my wife would be unhappy if I didn't blah blah blah.


Then I showed her the boat would buy to keep that truck (29 fountain) and then I showed her the Sonic I now have.


I now own a diesel excursion and couldn't be happier. Upgrade the truck to get the boat you want. Trust me, your wife will still be happy and so will you.

I work a professional job too and have never got a complaint about what I drive. Usually a "hey that's a big truck". Tell them you have a boat to tow and that is the end of that convo.

That what I had. I loaded the sonic one time and sold the Escalade the next day lol.

Towed my 33ol back from Va to La and it did ok for an 1100 mile trip, but you had to baby the hills so as not to heat up tranny!! One good downshift and the temp would spike!

So get a2500 Yukon and change the decal on the side of the truck to say 1500. If you ask any of us if you should get a better boat than the truck I'm sure we will all say get the boat

I know I threw the first shot over the bow with Fountain, but I really like the 29 Fever with a single big block. A 500EFI will get you around 73 mph and they are a blast to drive. They ride very well and are a good boat to trailer also. Another thought is a 292 Formula Fastec with twin small blocks. If you want to tow with a half ton I'm not quite sure a twin big block boat is realistic.
