New to Fountain and excited
Just closing the deal on a new fountain, well not new but new to me, and really excited. I just got a 91 29' Fever with twin 454's. The cabin has been upgraded, the seats are either never seen the sun or are brand new, hull has 300hrs and engines rebuilt at 60hrs. I paid 26, I dont think i got a great deal, but descent, any thoughts on what I paid.
Also anything i show know about this model.

I also recently bought a '91 29' Fever with 420HP 454's. Paid $23.5k but have another $2k+ in it already doing misc. preventative maintenance stuff (water pumps, sea pumps, fuel pumps and filters, hoses, engine and drive oil changes, carb rebuilds, etc).
It didn't need most of that stuff yet, but I'd sooner work on it in my shop than while floating on the lake.
So I'd say either you did just fine at $26k or we both screwed up
Doesn't matter too much really, the purchase price is just the beginning anyway
Have fun!

From what it looks like everything mechanical wise has been gone over and reaplaced or rebuilt, so hopefully i dont have to dump any cash into it. Yeah its a descent price, dealer tried telling me it was a steal, and i dont think so, but it doesnt really matter, ive wanted a fountain and this on is pristine.
