Re: My new 35 lightning
I agree, a very pretty boat! If you have the Hull ID number, you can get a copy of the "window sticker" from Fountain, or have a Fountain dealer get it for you. The 2000 twin step that I bought, which was very similar in equipment, had an MSRP of 239,850 without any destination charges.

Re: My new 35 lightning
Guys, I paid $200,000 for the Rig new and thought I got a very good deal.
Bob T, who were you dealing with when you thought you were negotiating to buy this boat? It was not me. It could have been Jordan, who called me, asking if I wanted to sell it. I told him if he could get $120K, including his commission, I would consider. If he told you $105K, he was fishing for someone to hook..... I never discussed a lower price. In fact, I sold the boat in Mid-June for $120K. I understand the new owner got a considerably better deal. I hope the interim owner does not try to calculate his cost per hour run, because is was a pretty pricey 3 months of ownership.
Take care.

Steve R, thanks for the info - deleted my previous post. One of my friends talked to the "interim" owner at Lake Cumberland during July 4th holiday. He got to look through the boat and was really impressed with how clean that boat was! It is a very pretty boat!

Brent,
Very nice. I can't wait to see it in person and go for a hot lap in the spring. Very cool that you have such a detailed history of the boat too.
Good to see you guys last night.

Sure cool to here all of the great comments about your new 35. I saw it at Keith's and couldn't believe how clean it is. You did real good.
Are you going to get those 30 props that Steve R has?
