I'm looking for an older 48 Express, prefer diesels, will look at any condition....anyone know of any rough ones around that aren't listed....but may be for sale?

Have you seen this one in Michigan? This is the cheapest/roughest one i've seen so far.

2003 Fountain 48 Express Cruiser Harrison Township, Michigan - Pier 33

Yes I have, I actually looked at it when it was for sale a few years ago...I'm in Canada, once the border opens I might look at it again, it does need work....

My good friends 48 is for sale in Houston... Not sure what you are looking to spend, it isn't rough, 2006 tripple Yanmar's, Arnsons..

Thanks for the tip, I'm having a look now, getting it to the Great lakes might be an issue, but you never know...
