Hello Boaters,
I'm looking to get back into another boat after having sellers remorse after selling my 1998 33 Baja Outlaw back in Oct. I've come across 2 boats that have caught my interest as listed in the title. I've owned fountains and Baja's. 2004 29 Fountain single HP 525, and my most recent 1998 33 Baja Outlaw twin HP 500's. I enjoyed both boats and have a split decision on which one to pursue. I do 90% of my boating of Lake Winni but will be running the ocean here and there to participate in some poker runs. With that being said here are the run down on boat boats in question.

1999 32 stepped hull Fountain Fever
Completely built 509's top to bottom By CMS in Michigan with 2.3 Whipples
XR Uppers Imco -2 shorties

1998 29 Baja Outlaw
Completely built 454 magnums by Jerome Buck making 640HP with Vortech superchargers with 3.5 psi
XR drives

Thank you for any input/suggestions in advance!!

That 32 Fountain must haul a$$ , (probably scary fast) , the outlaw would likely be a better choice for rough water ride.. I guess it depends on where your using it .... I'd personally look for a 35 Fountain at that price point... my .02

Can buy the fountain for $60k and the Outlaw for $52k

Neither of these is anything like the 33 Outlaw. Both are MUCH smaller. I agree with looking for a 35' Fountain, similar waterline length to the 33 Outlaw but much faster and steadier at high speeds. Another fine choice in this general size range is 32' or 33' Active Thunder.
