Default Wanted: 35 Fountain

Finally decided on a 35 fountain. Prefer one in north east but will consider all boats and locations. Prefer a nice clean water ready boat. Please pm me or call me at 585-727-2686

I'd like to put the spending cap in the 50's or under.

Thanks!

Super clean boat with fresh 575HP 540CI built by a well known builder. Engines built very conservative for a long life span. Fresh water boat. All red.

Maybe you should be a little more clear in what exactly you are looking for. You have had an ad posted on Craigslist all spring and summer. "Looking for a 32-35 fountain". For as many as I have seen and sent your way, I would think you would have found one by now.

Thanks for the advice however its only been about a month since I've been looking as thats when we sold our last boat. Looking for a clean, well kept boat, specifically a 35 now preferably in the late 90's or early 2000's. Not looking to spend more than mid 50's at very most. We have looked at several local boats that werent in the condition we desired and several others that were a little older than we would like for the prices that were being asked of them. Would prefer stock HP 500 motors or 502 mpi. Nothing extreme or highly modified. Hope this helps clear it up a little more, sorry for the confusion guys! Have funds ready for the right boat!! Keep any leads coming, I appreciate it!!

Maybe I got you confused with another local looking this year as well. My advise is to look far for a good deal, for some reason most locals to us think fountains are worth 3 times as much here as anywhere else


You are shopping the right time of year, another month and you will find more deals IMO. Don't be afraid to make offers to people asking well above your limit. Find the guy that is paid down, getting ready to shell out money for winter storage and you might be able to make the deal of your life.

The red boat pictures is very very clean. Engines started life as 502 mpi, then last year full overhauls. New cranks, rods, pistons, converted over to carb, brand new quick fuel carbs, New intakes, new ignition systems , dynoed, real nice mills. Boat also has extension boxes, full hyd steering, Gil exhaust, updated dash, excellent upholstery, just a killer boat. He also has all the original 502mpi stuff I'm sure he can work in the deal.
