Picking up my first boat tomorrow
 

Just signed up here and looking forward to being a part of the forum and learning, maybe even contributing at some point.

I’ve built cars/engines, but never a boat and quickly realizing all of the components. So many questions, I’ve got a lot of reading to do.

Anyhow - loading up the wife and three kids (2,4,6) tomorrow morning and headed to Michigan from Missouri. Picking up a 98’, 27 Fountain. I remember being 7-8 years old taking a dump reading boating magazines and thinking some day I’d own a Fever :) looks to be a pretty nice boat for it’s age. Needs some odds and ends, but nothing major. I’ll post some pics up and details later.

Congrats and best of luck. Being a car guy gives you some very good common sense know-how that will work in your favor.

Congratulations and good luck

Congrats to you and hope you enjoy it!!

congrats! welcome to a new addiction :) it will be a fantastic way to spend time with the family!

Congratulations! Welcome to the family.

Not quite sure that’s what Reggie would hope to read from his owners but at least you’ve got a Fountain!

Congrats, get the family onboard, take it slowly and enjoy. 🙂

Congrats! I had a 32' Fever, loved it. I'm also from Missouri and keep the Nor-Tech at the 4mm on LOTO. Shoot me a pm if you need some help after you get her home. I've been boating LOTO for 35 years and gone through several boats and scratched my head on every one of them at some point so I may have some good OE if you run into problems.

Sea trial in 1000 islands....now that is awesome !!!!
