No worries Diamond. I am the guy buying this boat. I currently have a Checkmate Convincor. The boat gets flushed, washed and buffed dry after each use. The interior is also wiped down and carpet vacuumed. She gets waxed 3-4 times a year. I actually enjoy it all. It is kept on a lift with a full cover that even hides the drive. I sometimes annoy people by not letting them walk on the colored gel surfaces of the deck. After all, there is a white strip down the middle. I exercise the utmost caution around docks to prevent rash and immediately take fresh water to any dock lines that splash salty water. I will probably be even more restrictive with this boat. I plan to represent the proud Fountain lineage in the Chesapeake Bay area of MD and learn from you other owners. Now I need a cool name like Diamond Dave or Rattlesnake Jake.

Many, many years ago the owner of a local pub started calling me that and it stuck. Thanks for the kind words good luck with the boat.

Sounds like you are the right man for the job! Make sure you post some pics of it when you get some power installed! Congrats!

Your starting out right. You can't buy a boat from a better dude. Rob has always been willing to help out with the boat I bought from him 4 years ago now.

I understand your thinking 33outlawsst but I need a name that embodies the incredible metamorphosis or "exorcism" she experienced. No doubt the owner (don't like to use names without prior OK) refurbished the boat with amazing artistic appeal, vision, knowledgeable contractors, top notch materials, flawless workmanship, and lot of soul.

I believe you. He has graciously answered my many questions by phone or text as well as those by the guy doing the rigging. He has provided pictures, videos, historical documentation, specs and more. Great guy.
