That is strange to be selling so quick....When you went and looked at it, what did you think? Personally I'd want one with Merc power (502mag, 469, etc..) for ease of finding parts and someone to work on it if I had a problem I couldn't figure out on my own. Or one without power/good price and re-power it with a new 520, ITS, and Bravo XR. I'm guessing that would cost about 40K to re-poower with that setup though....

My mum always told me if you can't say something nice, say nothing.
My dad always told me if you can't say something nice, tell the truth.
They ended up divorced!

This one has been for sale for awhile now. I've already posted it somewhere on here so you've probably seen it already.

Still looking, found a Prowler I like in western NY, but over my budget. I have seen must of the Prowlers up north that are for sale but haven't found one that I like. Now considering 27 Fountain's so posted in Fountain section.

27/29 Fountain used to be my dream boat. Then I started reading about Fountains having wood rot problems in the transom and stringers. Have you looked at any Active Thunder 25 or 28/29s? I believe after 98 they were all composite. I think all the 28/29s have a fully enclosed head but the 25s don't even have a portapotty. Don't think there are any posted for sale but if you ask around in the Active Thunder forum on here you may get lucky. If/when I ever sell my Scarab and buy another performance boat I've narrowed it down to Sonic 26, AT 25, or AT 28/29.

Went over to the Fountain forum to check out your post and ironically the post right below yours is about rot in a 29:

Just something to keep in mind and look out for since you're looking at Fountains.

If you are interested There a 25 AT for sale in NC and a 28 AT for sale in CT. The one in CT Is clean I've seen the boat. 28 is out for me as I just sold my 33 to down size. Any Fountain I look at ill be checking the spots that I know they were prone to leak water in transom.
