Default 1990 38' Fountain Fever

Pardon my obsessive boat-searching...

but is anyone familiar with this boat at LOTO? I pulled up a bunch of old posts on here but didn't find any particulars. Price seems reasonable on it. Waiting for details.

Thanks!
John

Seems like a lot of boat with not much motor (relatively speaking of course).
Nice price though!

I assume that's a stock motor set-up.

Any idea what top speed could be expected from this boat?

High 60's, maybe 70.

Ahhhh, I don't know about 70.........

If you were directing that question to me, I would guess closer to low 60's. A poorly set up (newer) 38 Fountain with 502's (Arizona speed kits) will run low 70's. At least, that is what the people we go out with run.

Not sure. Still no response from them on my inquiry.

I was at that place in July, but I was checking out another boat.

Is that a newer Fountain w/ steps? My friend's '99 42' Fountain does 80 with twin 500hp engines. Seems like a newer stepped 38 would get to 80 with the same power. Maybe I'm missing something. Clue me in.

365hp 454 mags and Bravos should push that boat to mid 60's I would think (assuming that everything is in good working order).
