After running mine all last summer I'm very happy with mine, I do like the look of it sitting in the water and also found it's just the right size to be able to dock in a crowded location and still be able to have a nice ride through the choppy water. Yes the engine compartment is a little cramped but after doing some maintenance a couple of times you'll figure out ways to access everything.

Just got our 99 in the water for the first time this weekend. I couldn't be happier with the way the boat performs and rides in Lake Erie water. With 502 mag mpis, bravo's, and 26 hydro's the boat with six people and half fuel hit 73 with ease! I feel it should be a 75-77 mph boat no problem. It's a great boat and i can't wait for the next ride!

I purchase a 32 in March. Did tickfaw last weekend and had a great time. Bought the boat because I knew the history and it was worth what I paid. If it would have been a 35' I'd have bought it also but I do not regret the 32'. Myself/friends/family have spent some time replacing hoses, starter, etc. and it is tight but manageable. We had 5 in the boat for tickfaw (four big guys) and she ran well. Super easy to trailer and around the docks. Mine has 2x502 mags on a straight bottom. Mid 70's boat.

Saw a really nice '99 on eBay today. Looks to be in great condition with I think 509 hrs. on 502s. I wish it were closer than MO so I could look at it!

hAY sIMON MY 96 WHEN i PURCHASED IT WITH 502S TURNED A 32 BAVO
HaySimon my 96 with 502s turned 30 pitch bravos at 80 when I purchased it 4 years ago. Last season I got it up to 89 on GPS with 540s this season hoping for more. Dynoed at 610 hp 670 ft lbs each last week with cam change will see what happens this year.

what kind of rpm did you run with the 30's at wot? I'm looking at some upgrades for next year hoping to be in the low to mid 80's! My boat now is running 5000rpm at wot which is where they should be for stock motors.

My 32 was my first twin boat, loved it, nice ride and was a huge step up from our 27 Fever.
She had 454 mags and ran 74 WOT.
I didn't like the free board, and after a few years went up to the 35 Lightning.
Like they said all FOUNTAINS are great boats, got a friend who has a 98 32 Fever for sale on Craigslist Lake Ozark MO, great boat.
