Question Need Some Help Finding New Boat!

I just sold my 2001 Fountain 35' and I am looking to replace it with either another 35 or more than likely a 38. I also want to stay relatively in the same price range ($80K-110k) and want stock power. I prefer 500efi's or hp's and I just wanted to check to see if there is anything out there that might not be advertised or that I missed. Would even go to a 42', but I doubt I am going to find a 1998-2001 in the same price range.

I have pursued a few, but all I have found are high retail prices which is hard to stomach considering I let mine go relatively cheap! At this point I wish I had kept mine!

I would appreciate any help or leads on a well kept CLEAN fountain! I am looking to buy ASAP when the right one comes up. Thanks again,

Re: Need Some Help Finding New Boat!

Here is one at Ugly Johns on Grand Lake in Oklahoma. It is a little more than your range but they have had it for a year or so now so I am sure they would work on the price. I have looked at this boat and it is CLEAN. Let me know if you want me to go get any other pictures or anything. The marina is just the next cove over from where I am. It would give an excuse to get the boat out for a while.

Downtown 42,

I have been looking at that 38, but it has too many hours on it and I am not crazy about all of the purple on the boat. I would buy another boat from Scott as I bought a Fountain from him before. Let me know if there's anything else.

I am really trying to hit the 100K mark or preferably below.

Thanks for the help so far!

wow looking at what you are looking at you would be going backwards..
your boat was sweet!!
i thougth you were doing it to go faster?
are you going to go thru motors and add blowers?
good luck hope you find one ,,, there has to be one out there somewhere..
