27' Fountain Fever from a 272 Baja
I am currently looking at this boat and trading my 272 in on it. What are the good and bad's with this boat. I value everyone's opinions on this website and can't wait to hear from you guy's. I know what mine is already....LOL

It's a good boat, but MUCH smaller than the Baja. The ride will not be as good as you are use to. Boat will be a little faster with same power.
In terms of size, you are trading down. |
You would be better looking at a 29 or even a 32 if you want a more comparable boat.
Fountains are like sports cars, like a vet, low and fast. A baja is closer to say a grand prix, sporty but roomy. |

Two different boats, the Baja cabin is bigger, but the Fountain will be much faster, Powerboat Baja 275 test 9/02 w/ 496mag top speed 62.4radar, 60.5gps, any 1994 or newer 27 Fountain will smoke that number. And yes the Baja does ride better, but who wouldn't 5-8 miles an hour slower.:cool: Again two different boats, one I would say is more for family, the other for tearing up the water. By the way come on over to the Fountain forum and we will give you a warm welcome. WILL:p |
There right.
The fountain is a smaller boat. Better quality
than the baja, In my opinion, I love the lines of the 272. I went from 25'6" advantage to the fountain and it was bigger. Fountain will be faster. Look at 288 sunsation, quality and size, close to fountain speed. JC |
Love my 27 Looking at a 35 Lightning now !
|
You'd definately be trading down. Look at a 29 Fountain if that's what you want.

Oh, lost track of the question, the good and bad, 27 Fountain gas tank is 62 gallons, also Fountain could do a better job finishing the engine comp. Good, Fast, comes std, with almost everything, power bolsters, hydrolic steering, K-Planes, matching carpet, oh and the boat is ROCK SOLID.

Thanks guy's. It is just normally my girlfriend and I and another couple if that. She loves the cabin now with the room and the cockpit room so if I lose that she will not be impressed. I would be going form a 454 to a 502! I just don't know if it is worth it.

My 24 Outlaw had more room in it then the 27 Fountain I purchased after. No doubt had more speed but rougher ride, not a good trade off if where you boat is anything but calm. My .02 - I 2nd the 288 Sunsation - good ride & speed & nice size cabin.
