Tcuda...I did end up checking her out for ya... Greg at Shogren was kind enough to follow me around their MASSIVE showroom with a mop-and-bucket as I couldn't keep my mouth closed...WOW the new place is awesome...it's like the ultimate boat show only all go-fasts!
I learned that is boat is NOT the one I was thinking of previously...it IS a saltwater boat. The trailer looks a little rough (surface rust, I believe), and the vinyl on the sunpad and the backs of the bolsters is a little stained...nothing major. There's a ding in the rubrail on the starboard stern, and a small gouge right under the bow eye, but other than that, the hullsides looked clean. Below deck was about perfect...very clean. Engine compartment was clean, and tight with that genset in there!
Let me know if you have any other questions, I'll try to remember any other details you may have inquiries on.
Thanks to Greg @ Shogren for the help...and for letting me sneak a peek at that gorgeous Top Gun...my wife LOVED the cabin in that thing...who knows what could happen now....?
Roger...thanks for the heads-up, but we're looking at C5 coupes....I think we found what we're after...hopefully making a deal this week!

Thanks Sommerfliesby,
Sounds like you really enjoyed yourselfes there... Scott said it was a brackish/salt boat,Doesn't sound like I should worry much. One guy here on OSO said Fountains are known to spider crack there gel coat expecially in the oceans whith bigger seas than lakes???? Is that true and was there any evidence of that on the 42? This will be my first Fountain,haven't seen it yet but working on the deal as we speak. If everthing goes as planned I might take a quick flight there to check it out. Will I be dissapionted? I know its a used boat so I expect to so some wear and tear but I dont want a garbage barge. Sounds to me Scott doesn't sell to much crap.
Satisfied1, I'm workind a trade with Shogren but would def. like to have EFI.Unless you want a 38 express cruiser........???
The deal is pretty much locked up tight with Shogren so I'll have to pass, but thanks.
