Anyone have some experience with these, looking at 23-27' range, want to keep it a single outboard. Just something I could fish, scuba and ski behind. Oh, and I like the stainless covers over the console also. I just don't really know any makes or what to really look for in these, All input is appreciated.

Thanks

fountain of course

27 fountain go to the fountain web site click on fish boats ive got a scout but as munch as you are going to pay for it you might as well get a fountain

Fountain1fan,

I am looking at the Fountains, however I am really looking for something to just kick around in (used and good quality). It doesn't have to be the best or fastest. I am going to keep the 27 Fever for the real fun

my last fish boat was a 24 Pro-line sportsman c/c with a bracket and a 225 ocean runner clamped to it..and a tee top .it was a 96 which had the closed transom.. and no wood at all in the boat.......was a great boat...for what you are descibing except maybe the skiing ...there are alot of good c/consule boats out there....I picked that oen up fairly cheap was 1.5 yrs old cannot rem the hours but were low...for 25k...used it for a few yrs and sold it for the same...good luck

You should have no problem finding a good deal on a CC down there, there are plenty of them. Finding a performance boat is much harder. Pro line, Hydra Sport, Grady White, Shamrocks (are built in Cape Coral). Find a Blue Hair that bought one and never used it.
How are you likeing the Fort? There was a boating group in Ft Myers called Florida West Boat Club, they were involved with the Ft Myers offshore races, may want to check them out. A guy Named Elmer Tabor was one of the principals and owns a real estate office on the Cape.

I am liking FL allot right now the weather is great I wish I was out tonight chasing girls but I have family visiting. Maybe once they go to bed I can go to Downtown FT Myers. I will try to get up with the FWBC maybe they will let me and my little 27 hang

get a hold of chris gatturna at Deep Lagoon Marina in ft Myers,
they have a 30 ft lightning for sale twin 300 mariners, runs mid 80's and nice price if they havent sold it yet.

Hey Will, A lot of performance builders are making center consoles. Here are a few PowerPlay 25', Sutphen 26',
Superboat 24', Concept 25', and Kryptonite 23' and 27'. I would definately check out the Concept and the Kryptonite.
