Read post about the pitch and blades, there is days of it on here. Yes that is the basic, a B1 24/ Mirage25 are considered a swap, the 3 blade should be a bit faster. Try the 24 first, it might get you on plane faster and should be the same top end as the 23. just check you WOT rpms and see if you are in a good range for your motor

Congrats and enjoy boating. That will be a fun first performance boat. You'll get the itch soon after and want something bigger & faster.
I'm happy to hear you are new to performance boating and taking the leap to own a boat. The sport and performance boating hobby needs more of that.

I'm put money down on a 93 fountain fever 27 the boat has been painted the interior is new and the motor is a crate 502 with 50 hrs on it. The hall has 670 hrs there are a couple chips in the paint it looks like from docking the boat one goes down to the fiberglass. But the fiberglass is not hurt in anyway how big of a concern is that for rot and what else should I be looking for on a boat that old. Anything fountains are know for going bad. And is 670 hrs alot. And what do you think it's worth
where are you located and where is the boat from, fresh or salt . If possible have it surveyed before purchase, this can save you a lot of money and stress down the road. Congratulations if it all works out!
