    The 29' Fountain Fever has a low-profile exterior, and classic speedboat lines. A functional cabin, and generous lounge space and seating in the cockpit give a good amount of space for entertaining. The boat’s ergonomic helm has thoughtfully laid out gauges and throttles. This high performance boat has a stepped, deep-vee hull design and a superb level of performance.


    Throttles , as in plural, as in two of them.

    That being said (someone should just call him) Fountain does for some strange reason occasionally hang a ladder over the outdrive......

    Now that is just stupid I'm betting most 29's have twins and they dont want to bother moving the ladder.

    I guess you can step on the prop to get to the ladder

    I see what you are saying, but the whole unit ( CONTROLS ) are also called Throttles. Not just the 1 shift lever that actually works the throttle !

    But hey, what do i know ! Your right and i have peace.

    Some of you guys must have some serious azz forensic photo capabilities. I can't see chit for throttle, throttles, throtti, throttae, Drosselklappe, Drosselklappen.

    I say it is a single. Why? A 29 foot fountain is only a 26 foot boat and doesn't really need twins.

    I think that rental fountains should have the beaks removed for safety. Maybe something more rounded like the first scissors that kids get.

    I have seen the boat in person and it is only a single. To me, one clue you can get from the pics, without seeing throttles and tab switches, is the amount of freeboard. Concur?

    Yep, WITH Twins it would be squatting with the rail at the swim platform touching the water.

    I'd be pissed if my ladder was right on top of my drive. Even if turned all the way to one side or the other, the drive would always be in the way.
