Better fix that typo before someone thinks your serious about that price.If I was boatless we would be talking.

Good luck with the sale!

LOL....I thought about the price for a few days and figured the boat is worth more, but this is what it's going to take to get it sold right now. I just need someone to come look at it. I've sold nearly every boat I've owned to the first person that came to see it.......YES, I keep them that clean and am always adding little touches that make them even better to use day to day (EX: My dock lines are all looped and hanging on hooks inside storage compartments in the cockpit).

Damn good looking boat - good luck.

Russ - You should have traded for that repainted 1999 400SS with 160 hours on ebay a week or so ago. You'd have your change, still be part of the Formula gang, and have $38K in your pocket!

....So, what are you thinking of getting now?

I've always said a SS was the likely next boat but I just don't know. I've been looking for a little (17-18CC) cause the kids just don't like riding around in the big boat anymore. They do love watersports with the jetski and a friends little boat, then they are all about the water. Probably look at a small CC and also a ??? (we've got a place on the water with a new 16,000 lift so I'll have to find something to put in there!!!!)

Russ I had the same problem a few years back....I ended up buying a 18ft wahoo with a 150 merc for the kids to play with...its amazing how much we use that boat....now that they are older (16 and 18) they have decided that the Fountain is not too bad to be riding around in....good luck with your sell

Got a few interior pics if anyone is interested........

note: a microwave is bolted down under the sink

How much without that goofy windshield? :D

Be nice at least he is not towing it with an S-10:26:

His tahoe is not an S-10.......but probably doesn't tow any better than one!! :)

Brian knows the boat, I bet it's one "FWB" he'd be willing to run in!!!

[t500hps]

Just put it on boattrader for $99,500. Hopefully being under the $100K mark will get some hits. (negotiating room just took a hit thou!!!)

What's with the brokers and their crazy schemes to get you to list on their site.....several real calls, hopefully someone's going to "write the check"

They are the biggest pain in the a!ses..... If we WANTED a broker, I'm sure we are smart enough to ASK....otherwise butt out!

[t500hps]

[t500hps]

this thing would look great under someone's Christmas tree!!!!

Nice all around 38 ft. boat for less than 100K.... anyone ever tint those glass windshields to make it look less cruiser like?

I've seen a few done like that.....personally I hate it, but I know others that really like it.

The stainless windshield is a signature for a Formula so it doesn't bother me personally and at least it won't peel like a powdercoated windshield (like Fountain). Great boat, the right power and paint......

[sweet addiction]

They are nuts. I get one call about every day. I had one this morning. They go on and on about how they find qualified buyers. ablboats.com got me the other day. Another $200.00 for the boat of the month then I get home and look at it and I am on page 7. Like WTF did I just pay that for?? Selling a boat right now is sucking. I had one low ball offer and that is it.

[t500hps]

I've now had 5 buyers (not brokers) contact me since the first of the year. Some have boats, others are boatless and shopping. I'm hoping one of them is writing a check soon!!!!

[t500hps]

Well.....one of those 5 guys "bought it" site unseen then backed out a week later when his didn't sell. Another guy wanted it during that week and came the very next day after I told him it was available again...........he bought it and asked "why so cheap"!!!!


Although paid for a month ago he's finally picking it up tomorrow.

[MarylandMark]

Congrats on the sale!

[OldSchool]

Congrats Russ!!!! What's next????:cheers2:

I thought it was priced right....38 ft, newer trailer, blue motors, quality builder, clean boat nice paint less than 100K!

[t500hps]

little CC the kids can play around in and we can get to the local hang-outs in......obviously no big water for awhile.

[4mulafastech]

Congrats on the sale. You really kept that rig nice. I imagine that had to be a bittersweet moment seeing it leave. I know watching my Talon get towed away after 7+ years of ownership made me a bit queezy in the stomach.

What was the place you had it listed where there seemed to be interest???

[t500hps]

powerboatlistings is where the most interest came from.......and where "both" buyers found it.

It was also listed on Speedwake, SOS, and Boatfreaks......boattrader but only in NOV.
