fountain 27
#12
the main thing i would be looking for is like icu has stated . but anything with 300 hrs and above you start thinking about rebuild things .. and theese things are not cheap .. anybody sees boat they double the bill lol . id hunt for something that someone already spent the time n money reduing .. let them take the loss .. although its adouble edged knife . many have thing rebuilt . but dont want to spend .so many shortcuts are taken .. thus a rebuild ends up needing another .. a little interior work that makes the boat look less valuable that has a repitable engine rebuild . might be a great score .. many buy on vissual , my old 27 for instance needed new bench seat .. so i did all the interir from rear seat back .. cost me 900 bucks and looked like it came off the fountain line .. im sure it would have cost me deer to have sold it looking trashy . way more than the repair ...

Only motors that need rebuilt at 300hrs are the hp500 and high hp motors. A stock 502 will go double the hours. It is a double edged sword, bought my boat and the motor was rebuilt 30hrs ago. Pulled it apart this winter and somebody just threw a rebuild together.

If it checks out not a bad deal. Does need some TLC. If I was looking for a 29 I would be all over this
