Interesting video, thanks for sharing it.
I must admit that the holeshot looks better/easier than in my boat, which struggles a bit more to get up.
What kind of setup do you have on yours? I seem to hear a supercharger, or am I mistaken?
Mine's a stepped hull with stock 496ho, 1.50 Bravo, 26" prop and 19" X dim.
On a side note, aren't you pulling those skiers a tad slowly?
It doesn't look like 36mph on the video...

On my last boat I had a cheapy low pitch 4 blade aluminum prop that I would throw on for towing... Nooone else does this? It takes litterally 60 seconds to change... I know it's a little sketchy but I even change props while swimming in the water. BTW.. I don't neccessarilly suggest this and if your going to do it you should carry an extra nut and back spacer.

these are the motors in the first Fountain ever built. These motors look to have all the same stuff as me including the remote oil filter location. I really recomend having that too. :0)

Hi Bomann, nice pics. Are you the original owner? Hours? Top speed with some adults and full tank..70? Red carpet? Any trouble over the years with the Holley? Sticky floats,constantly adjusting...stuff like that.
Again...very nice.

Looks like I am one step closer to purchasing a clean 97 27' Fever with 502. Looks well maintained and all stock. Trailer is in good shape too. Does $30k sound right?
Whats the deal with these things not having a swim ladder? Does the drive really stick out far enough to use as a step or is it a PITA?
