Thanks for informing me about this site, I have owned boats for many years, sold my last one over a year ago, have been doing a lot of shopping, I have wanted a Fountain for years, I feel this 35 is a great find, really beautiful and mint cond.,plus the engines are awesome, just what I was looking for, I will keep it as nice as Dan has .

Welcome to SOS!!!
Nice rig! 1st pic in post 4 really "pops" with the tinted windshield covered up. Depending on your preferences may be a future upgrade to liven it up IMHO

Thanks ,I hope to get time next Saturday to go to Chicago to pick it up, we have been very busy last 2 weeks since I bought it, haven't had a chance to go get it, may not get to use it until late Sept.,but we'll hope to get to run a couple times before winter.

08-30-2009 11:14 AMCongratulations! You won't be disappointed... I've never seen ANYONE keep a boat as nice as Dan does. Everything he owns is kept just as nice... look at the garage!!
Good luck!

I agree, Dan does keep things spotless, his garage looks great, the 35 is mint cond., here are 2 pics, one at the gas station at 2am.,just as i took this pic a guy comes up behind me to ask for $20, says he is stranded and needs gas, he must also be blind,,can't he see I just spent all my money on a Fountain,I said follow me, took him inside,ask the mgr. to help him, I gave him $10 and said good luck.
The other pic is in my driveway, finally.Last edited by 35 Lightning; 09-29-2009 at 10:25 PM.

We were able to get out for the first time yesterday, my wife is finally feeling good enough to get on the boat, very nice 80 degrees, the Fountain ran great, no problems at all, great ride and handling, we really enjoyed getting back on the water again, the only tricky thing is getting back on the trailer, very strong side wind blowing, once i got the trailer depth in the water set, we were good.
