I am looking at a 1991 27 Fountain Fever with the 502 engine pushing 425 hp and also a 1995 29 Scarab with a 502 engine pushing 550 hp any input would be appreciated...

Both nice I'd go with the Fountain??

both nice....fountain is a small boat for a 27

Scarab

Just confirming... are these both single engine boats?

Scarab is much bigger and would be my choice.

That 29 is going to ride well! Scarab

<------ Scarab.

That Scarab is going to be a much bigger boat. The 27 Fountain is like a 25 when you leave off the beak and the swim platform.

Scarab
