Moving Up
 

Hey All, I have just a basic question for everyone. I want to move up from a 2003 29 Fountain with a 525 EFI. I am looking in the 200k range and I am heavily leaning towards the 35 lightning w 525s. Any thoughts on other options? I am considering a Nordic Flame or a Top Gun but the Cig is pricy and the Flame is one I know little of. What other boats would you all consider and why? Thanks Jim

Did you get the fuel delivery problem fixed? :D

Re: Moving Up
 

Tomorrow is the big day....new fuel pump, pressure regulator and cleaned intake from tank. If that doesnt do it, I will still have a 62 mph Fever.

PS. Merc Racing has said it is the regulator 3 times so far, pump will be here in the morning.... hope they are right.

Keep us posted..... :D

Oh yeah... if it isnt fixed tomorrow I had Merc ship me some whiskey to occupy my weekend. :drink:

If you are going to stay with the Fountain brand dont go to the 35 look more towards the 38 alot more boat for some reason.
I have a friend that bought a 35 Flame with 500 efi's and it is really fast 85-89 every day, handles the water good and easy to tow., lighter boat.

Good luck with that motor :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I have a 33 powerplay for sale. 2001, 500efi, bravo xr, 180 hrs, extremely clean.

If you are bent on a 35 Fountain, there is a meticulously maintained used 35 with 500EFIs in VA. Formerly owned by Tarheel here on OSO.

They don't come any cleaner than this one. I am not endorsing the dealer, but the boat is immaculate.
