See you are a long time lurker. Good to have another Fountain owner on board. Enjoy
Now taking bets as to how long it is before you are told there is no difference as they are both 22' boats.

But it's NEW material, never been mentioned before. Don't understand the gold chain comment. Next you'll be commenting on my hair.
Just preparing the new guy that he got more than just the boat with the Fountain name.

Re: Tips on stepped hull
I had one a few years back, the 27 is a very forgiving boat, and easy to drive , the left hand thottle took longer to get used to. The only draw back to this boat is the fuel tank 63 gals? and if you have a 502, long trips without a place to refuel can get old.
Good luck.
Good luck.

Ain't that the truth. Never did understand that. A friends 23' Rinker Captiva had a bigger tank. I had a blower motor in my 27. Long trips were not possible in that one. Great boat otherwise. My twin engine 32' gets the same fuel economy as that single engine boat, if not a bit better.
