29’ fountain width question
#1
Is the 29’ fountain twin engine actually the same size as the 29’ single engine? As far as width, and weight? Other than the weight of the engines of course. Thanks guys for any info given in advance.

Bulk head, stringers, and transom already had been redone. But would like to know if this is being done by other people. It’s a 1993 model 29’ fountain. Also opinions on hp to put in it to run decent. If this has already been discussed or there’s a thread here please lead me to it. I’ve been trying to search older forums on it. Thank you again guys.

i have a buddy here that took a twin and turned it into a single, but he did massive changes, cut down, made it a sit down, put a windshield on it like a PR.

should weigh the same with no engines?! I’m not even sure if they made a single engine 29’ fountain in 1993.

Thank you Griff for the info. I’m sure this topic has been beat to death. I’ve got one of these boats and doing this project and it’s so great to get info and advice along the way from someone that’s done it or knows a lot about these boats. Being a 1993 I know it’s not a step bottom but I’m trying to make it run in the 70 mph range for I do a lot of poker runs. And I think I should be able to do that with the single engine. Hopefully lol

Ok so how much horse power am I going to need to push this boat into the mid 70’s? It’s a 1993 29’ fountain non step bottom. And I’m converting it to single engine. I’m about ready for power now. 🙂
