We just bought a 1998 47 Fountain Sport Cruiser with triple HP500s - does high 70s. We love it but probably not enough room for three kids.

A friend wanted to buy a new one but was told by Fountain that they are discontinuing this model. They claim they are competeing with themselves. I don't see how the 47 Sport Cruiser would compete with an Express Cruiser. Two different beasts - In my opinion.

I know where you can get this new.

53 foot

fountain will still make the sc for national marine or so they claim

This is new from the Ft. Lauderdale show. NM is the one that called my friend and told him that Fountain won't build them any more.

I have been a member for some time and enjoyed lurking. I now am ready to graduate to posting. My questions is that I am looking for a performance cruiser, no it is not an oximoron.;) I know this is mostly a high performance group but I am hoping that you can help. I need to get out of my current high performance boat and change gears for some time to accomidate my family. I am looking in the 35 plus range and trying to spend no more than275k. I want a boat that can run in the 55-60 +mph range( is this unrealistic) but yet have plenty of room in the cockpit for lounging out and entertaining, and extremely comfortable accomidations in the cabin. I have three children who enjoy being out on the water but also we want to spend every weekend at our marina on it. I have looked into pure performance offshore boats but found that the cockpits are small and the cabins seems to have no headroom. Any suggestions, I know Formula makes a SuperSport.

I have just the boat for you please contact me to discuss using the PM system

I do not believe you are correct. The Fountain is not nicer than a 400SS and is a lot smaller in every area; cockpit, cabin engine compartment etc. It does have a forward state room with a door but it does not have an aft state room. It has a crawl space that children under 10 could sleep in and that is about it. The 47 is another story

The Fountain is faster and more maneuverable than the 400SS with the same power, but would not be nearly as accommodating for a family of 5 overnighting.

Ready to put in any type of power :D :D
