Thumbs up 1998 fountain fever 29- super clean and fast- SELLING VALUE?

ONLY 141 HOURS ON THE BOAT. 74+ MPH TOP SPEED.
STEPPED HULL.
TWIN ENGINE SETUP.
TOTAL OF 770 HP.
HYDROMOTIVE 4 BLADE INTIMIDATOR 26P SS PROPS.
LATHAM HYDRAULIC STEERING.
COCKPIT CARPET.

The hull is extremely shiny especially the bottom and the top. Exterior of the boat probably looks like the day it left the Fountain factory. This boat was never left in the water for more than a day. The condition of the outdrives, props and hydraulic steering hardware are extremely good. Exterior upholstery is also in good shape for the exception of some discoloration on the purple trim. There is a very nice size sunpad on this Fountain. Both electric bolster seats look great and they work fine. Cockpit carpet is in good shape and it adds a lot of color to the cockpit. There are lots of storage comparments all around the cockpit and all aircraft style latches work very good. There is also a small glovebox compartment next to the passenger seat for cellphones etc...


This boat is very fast and agile and it has extreme handling thanks to its high performance stepped hull. Boat has a lot of power compare to its size and weight. This boat also has a single engine version, but having twin engine setup is much better. Top speed is around 75 + MPH and it rides extremely stable at that speed. It planes in approx 4.6 seconds. Boat cruises at 3500 RPM at 52 MPH. This boat has a really advanced bottom design. Helm is also very well laid out and you have all the important controls at your finger tips. Compression is perfect on both motors and engine room looks good. The overall length of the boat is 29 feet. Has a beam of 96 inches and weighs a substantial 5,500 pounds. With the drives in the down position you will need approx 32 inches of water to clear the Hydromotive 4-blade performance stainless steel propellers.

Overall, everything looks good on this boat. Interior looks very good and its very clean. Headliner and interior upholstery looks very good. There is a very nice sleeping area in the cabin along with a sink, built in cooler and lots of storage and cup holders. Tube lighting looks incredible at night and makes this area very attractive for overnight trips. There is also a porta potti in the cabin under the u-shaped seating at the center.

Put it on e-bay for a week, with a reserve that you can live with. That will give you an idea of what cash buyers are willing to pay. It will probably be on the low side of what it is "worth", but it will give you something to work from.

i dont want to trade in for something brand new because i really cant afford that right now. I basically want to find out the value and then sell it and upgrade alittle at a time as funds get higher.
