Crashed 35 Fountain
 

Does anybody remember a 2007 or 2008 35 Fountain that crashed in the Pompano Beach area in about 2008? I think it hit a bridge and tore the side out of it.... I think it had Red/Yellow graphics on the side. Palm Beach Offshore Marine (Got a good story about them later) ended up with the boat last year... I was told the boat had 13 hours and 525's. It was tied up in a lawsuit or at the Insurance company until last year sometime...

Thanks in advance for all the info.... Derek

I think the boat you are asking about flipped in the open ocean......new boat, no skills, step bottom + turn = swimming!

I am 99% sure the guy that bought my trailer was the owner of that boat. He needed to get it out of a marina that was charging him to rack a wreck. The trailer was going to allow him to store it somewhere for free but that was 5 years ago when I sold it. The story was the insurance wasn't active so I believe they were trying to sue the dealership for allowing the boat to go out without insurance so they could collect from the dealer's insurance.......it seemed like a longshot case for sure.

Cashbar got the last ride on that boat if I recall correctly! :D

Man That is awesome info!!! I bought the motors from a guy down there and he never shipped them. I need to somehow get the vin of that boat, or the dealer that sold it, marina, etc... Hope you can help..... Thanks man!!

:hitfan::popcorn:

I have a crashed 2004 35 fountain if that helps!! :D

I don't think that had red/yellow? I think it was blue(ish) :popcorn:

And it didn't tear up the side it ripped the stern apart at the bilge bulkhead.

I just messaged LSjr for pics

That would be great.... I got a good story for you guys, but I gotta get my ducks in a row first!! LOL

:party-smiley-004:

"Is Cash Bar OK?"

The beak makes a great reference point to make sure you are towing a Fountain straight when upside down.

^ Holy crap! You know you're having a bad day when...

WOW, hope no one got hurt...

And no life jacket to boot! Um um um , shame on you.
Back to the ducks..

If they are going to tow it that fast WHY didn't they at least try to tow it bottom down and see if they could get some of the water out?

That's funny, I was just talking a couple hours ago how I wanted a beak off of a wrecked Fountain to have Phil Hess graft onto the bow of my Bayliner Trophy center console!

Keep your women close and your Fountain boat parts closer, you could run across one of those Formula 353 Fastech owners, over there on their forum, with their high tech grid chit falling apart, looking to steal the bottom out of a Fountain so they can own a boat that does not chit out on them.

Damn that was a long time ago.

If that rope brakes he will need new teeth or more.:D

One more dumb-a$$ theory on where the 'beak' design came from......

Okay, for the THOUSANDTH time. I wasn't on it when it flipped. I went in after the two guys that were. It started to sink quickly and was bow-up. I climbed up to the bow and got a line on it. We towed it in a circle until SeaTow got onsite to right the ship. I was only on it about 90 seconds. I, too, knew that line was a danger at that point.

And I was pretty sure it was blue(ish). And now I'm sure I needed a better diet back then. I think that was early '06. Maybe around this time of year.

I think it's great pic.

I was thinking "sure hope Yvonne doesn't see that pic"...........:D

Bill Clinton will be remembered for Lewinski - Cash Bar for riding in on a rolled fontain ( and more- LOL)

Look, don't let the facts get in the way of a good conspiracy....

LMAO! :popcorn:

Hey cash...how did you keep the hair so perfect? ?


Just razzin ya..I thought at 1st it was photoshopped .lol

Surprisingly strong denial about formulas being built like **** from that group too.

Does anyone have pics of the boat out of the water, or know the dealer that sold it? Maybe even what marina stored it?

Sundance sold it. Hideaway stored it but that went out of biz and is now Boathouse.

That is AWESOME info!! Thanks man!!! If anybody else has any additional info is is GREATLY appreciated!!

Derek

How fast do you have to tow an upside down Fountain to get it up on the pad?

Fixed it for you!

That 24 degree v can't feel good on the bum!

Taint gonna happen :D

Last I saw it, the sun pad and a large part of the bilge bulkhead were floating away towards Cuba. Probably got paddled back at some point. LOL

Yea, I think they were grafted to a 1953 Ford pick up and carried 26 cubans to key west.

Sunpad?

Thats hilarious .... actually the beak looks cooler upside down like that.lol

He said taint hehehe

New screen saver........:D

Since I upgraded to Windows 10 I have had some trouble viewing pictures. :eek:

To me this looks like a lonely and horny Dude trying to poke the blow hole of a giant white dolphin!!!

:lolhit::lolhit::lolhit:

In this slightly enhanced pic it looks like ...flipper, lol
