Looking for any opinions on this old school 1988 12 meter fountain. Not looking for the fastest boat on the water. I love the old school big water boats. It appears they have done a lot of work to the boat including the engines. Trailer is a late 80's that has been gone through and painted. I think even with the work done it's on the high end of the real market value of the boat. Don't be shy give me your opinion. Thanks!

Looks beautiful, but make sure you sea trial it. 565 hp 454 with dominator carbs seems like an odd combo

nice 12meter.looks a lot like the 10meter I bought,,,,,just longer.only thing that sticks out in my mind ,and this is just personal preference,is that the control handles are facing the wrong way.maybe I am wrong,but aren't most fountains control sticks facing upward instead of downwards.thats what I was told when I bought my controls and that's how all my fountains are,,,,,nothing wrong w/that.maybe I am wrong.you cannot mistake the old school 10&12 meter boats.old school indeed.
