My new ride,,I know wrong forum,,lol
 

well after about 17 years of been a loyal PowerQuest fan/owner (pqnut)and 6 PowerQuest boats later I thought it was time to try something else..

I wanted a 35 Fountain but ended up with a 32 Fountain,,(good used boats are getting hard to find)

I know this is the PowerQuest forum and I hope you guys dont mind that I started a thread about my new to me Fountain...

ok now I have to go get me some gold chains with the Fountain logo..lol

Beautiful boat. I am a Fountain fan. I actually had 2 27 fevers bought the month before i bought my 280. Both sellers backed oit at the last minute and i stumbled upon my 280 for 7k less and 3 years newer. Youve got a hell of a boat, reggie is the man. What power does it have????

twin 502

Nice one! where did you find this one? I see a palm tree in the back...another sight unseen purchase?? :D

thats the one I sent you the link on

Hey congrats!!
Your way too cool and knowledgeable to kick to the curb..lol!!!!

Let us know what u think about the fountains I know the cockpits look smaller than PQ. It would be cool to get your opinion

Nice ride! You will be always welcome here even tho you have moved on to bigger and better stuff! :ernaehrung004:

Thanks Guys..

Not sure about the left hand controls yet,,the boat should be here tomorrow,I like to take it out Monday..

I see some docking issues up ahead..:lolhit:

Thanks Kevin

I dont know about the bigger and better yet,,
who knows if this doesnt work out I can always get back into a PQ..

Im sure that will make the wife real happy..:lolhit::lolhit:

Nice boat, congrats! Guy I boat with has a 32.

Your going to have to learn to drink beer on a boat diffferent now having left hand controls, that would be my biggest concern! :lolhit:

hey Tom do you have the big gold chain with the fountain logo yet?

You will have the left hand controls down by the end of the day. The upside down trim switches and indicators on the dash take longer to get used to. The throttle trim switch works the conventional way, so do the tabs and their indicators.

Something else to note is turning authority using only the drives while docking, because fountain props spin in they can take a bit to get used to, be patient and give it more space to turn than your old boat.

Congrats! You will start looking forward to choppy water, if yours is anything like mine it will before better in the rough at high speed than cruising, let her eat :d

Beautiful new boat Tom!

i like ALL boats....congrats..

Congrats on the new boat! Have the Reggie hairdo yet! Just please stay with us here on the PQ forum; you're too knowledgeable about the PQs for us to lose.

No matter what you run. This forum will always be your home buddy.

Thanks guys..
Boat got dropped of today,,spent the day cleaning it,(it was 2000 miles away )
I like to change the gear lube and engine oil/filter tomorrow morning and take it out for a ride and see how I like it..

have not done anything with the hairdo yet..
I ve been spenting alot of time at the jewelry stores looking for some big Gold chains with fountain logos to wear..lol

I heard that gets you a extra 5 HP..:lolhit:

Well Tom... What's the report? Don't make me call you repeatedly until you answer... :D

so far very pleased with the boat,,ran right around 78 in 8 footers...








ok ok maybe they were 2 footers:lolhit:

78 in 8's? Are you sure you didn't buy a Sunsation???

85 cig :party-smiley-004:

Glad you like it, what did you think of the dock manners?

I still have to get used to the left side controls...kind of have to think about it is i am doing it..but not as bad as I thought..

Going to fire that bad boy up for the shiver Tom? We are still coming out so stock up on your 64's and bust out your dancin shoes

Congrats Tom. Did you get rid of the 280? I see it's gone from the classifieds. It sure looks funny seeing that fountain logo in your avatar.
The big question is-Does it ride as nice as the 300?

all fixed..

Just saw this,,,funny chit...

So, are they being nice to you in the fountain forum? They can probably detect that PQ blood in your veins.

No not boat shopping,,wife really loves this one,,:lolhit:

I was not sure if it would pi$$ anybody off if I posted pictures of a Fountain in the PQ section,but have only done a couple of small updates so far,,I have ordered some items from Fountain so waiting on that,,

Calvin buffed the boat (looks great)
I replaced the steering wheel and hub and added some vent grilles,,
will be starting with stereo and vinyl updates when I get back from KW...

I ordered the new style headrest for the drivers and passenger front bolsters as well as the rear front section of the sun pad like the picture below it will say Fountain in red in the center headrest ,,I will also be ordering the rear sun pad with the Fountain logo and the 32 in the center like the picture below,,with different colors of course,,how about some opinions,,do you guys think the sun pad with the 32 looks better or should I leave the one that is there now??

32 looks worlds better Tom... I think that's an easy choice

+ 1

+ 2

Nice boat, congrats!

Tom, you forgot to post this pic! :lolhit:

^^^LMAO!! :lolhit:

that is some funny chit.....

every time that commercial come on my wife starts laughing and tell me thats me....:lolhit:
