I disagree. there are plenty of people that cant afford to go buy a turnkey boat or don't wanna get a loan for a boat. a pair of HP 500 can be had for around 20,000 a pair of out drives can be had for around four to five thousand.searching the Swap Shop in eBay could find the rest of the parts necessary probably another five to ten thousand.so if you bought the hull and trailer for around 15,000 you would only be into it a total of 45-50,000...... sounds like a winner to me.of course that would be doing all the work yourself and not paying labor have it all installed

I know fountain is still in business (one of the only ones left) so that has to say something for their boats. |

Where have you been? NOT the same Fountain that built that boat.
Well Reggie isn't the owner anymore but it is the original fountain factory. Has some of Reggie's old employees and you can still get most of the fountain specific stuff from them so yeah he's kinda right. |

you can always buy 24 Baja-ish boats-running 502 bravo for 10k or less when they have rough interiors. then you have motor-transom assy-drive, plus all kinds of little stuff that is missing. and you can resell the hulls and/or trailers for 1-2k or so...so the boat CAN be turned into a runner-driver for 30k. now, you want more than 450hp per side? price goes up astronomically. if this is the boat you want it is worth considering. if you are thinking resale for profit...do cars not boats.
