Need history info on my 1993 47 Fountain -
Hello everyone - I need some help on this one... I am doing some digging on the history of my boat. Word on the street is that my boat was raced in the New Orleans Grand Prix by RF... I pulled the following history video off of www.fountainpowerboats.com and it looks just like my boat. Check it out...

If anyone has any info or historical pictures of that race, please let me know....
Thanks!!

I have had it for sale several times because it is too big for the dock behind my house. I can only have a 42 foot MAX length boat... and again, that is the max.
That being said... any time you try and sell something like this, it's just a big hassel. So I have decided to go ahead and finish the boat. I bought a complete Merc #6 staggared racing drive set... now all I need are the motors.
If you know of anyone with a set of hot motors... please let me know.
Thanks!!!

I dont believe that is the #76 flat deck 45 in the movie. i believe that is one of the handfull of what was refered to as a 47CS ( 47 competion series ) i believe it originally had 3 Merc 1000's in it. was for sale for a long time years ago then came off the market and reappeared a few years later with twin 525's, the center motor and drive removed. i believe the factory did the work on the transom. with triple 1000's it was a low 100MPH boat. I love those flat deck 47cs's. The 47cs were always a hard sell just not enough room in them, what kind of $$'s are you looking to get ?
