Description
Condition: Used Year: 1999
Make: Fountain


I have bought a catamaran for diving, I'm tired of paying the insurance and all the other stuff that goes with having 3 boats, so I am selling my Fountain. I have had this boat for 3 1/2 years. It has been a great boat. This boat is in GREAT running condition. It has 2 Mercury Optimax outboards with about 800 hrs on them. They make this boat scream.. I have had it up to 58mph with 6 people in the boat! The motors are 2007's! Both Lower units are within a few years old. The counter rotating one is about 4-5 years old and is a Mercury, the regular one is an SCI and is about a year old. They have Mercury High performance Bravo 2 4 blade stainless steel props. The motors have new kevlar reed packs and new fuel and oil lines. One has a new intermediate, and HP fuel pump and a new oil tank. The other has a new alternator. All of my service work has been done by professional Mercury mechanics at Aqua Marine in Fruitland Park Florida.
This boat comes with a trailer, also. The trailer is a Load master. It has breaks but they do not work. They are electric over hydraulic, and most of the components are locked up. I pull this boat only a few miles and have not worried about getting them fixed. I did have a new spindle put on the trailer, and when I did that they said it would be about $900 to get a new break setup..So thats that. The trailer does have a brand new style of bow stop, so it catches the boat in a V slot lower on the keel. The top stop was removed because it was chipping the jel coat "no matter how careful i was". So that problem is fixed. It also has a brand new 2 speed winch for getting it up on the trailer. Last year I had all new hardware that supports the boards that hold the boat up on the trailer put on. Lights are LED and work most of the time.."They could stand to be rewired. 2 new tires, and 2 that are only about a year old.
