These will fit no problem on your Fountain. They my touch the hatch though. Is this a TRS or SSM 3 boat?

Yep, tall decks. The headers are the Stainless Steel version. A bit more money but well worth it. We run mostly in fresh but do get down into the SF Bay in salt water. I would go with the SS regardless, they will last longer. I fush and drain after every use, regardless of the water salt content.

I've got a couple sets of my old Scarab, 6 years old now, stainless inner and outer, no problems at all.
