  • I added yet another project to our line up... Introducing the 1997 Fountain 32 Fever speed boat. Came with everything but engines. I drove over 20 hours just to get this boat. My goal is to find two Mercruiser 502 Mags (the original engines) to refurbish over the winter and drop back in the boat in the Spring. This vessel ALLEGEDLY will do 75 MPH. I guess we will find out!

    Very nice project. Looking forward for the next Fountain video 😎
    btw. I just bought Fountain 31 Trailer for our 28ft Powerboat project. I hope my trip to home goes better than yours with it 😅

      Thank you! I’ll have to check out your channel. Just subscribed to it. Good luck with getting yours home 🚤 I know for a fact we have an abnormal amount of trailer issues

    Just started following the channel! I’ll be watching this project closely. Since you don’t have motors, have you considered going with a pair or 6.0 or 6.2 LS motors to get some weight out of the stern? Some of these short(er) boats with the weight of twin big blocks tend to plow a bit and take a while to come up on plane.

      Good to hear! I thought about it and was asked this question before but for the sake of keeping the boat original, I think I'm just going to put the original engines back in it. Rebuilt of course!

    That boat is sick man! Can't wait to see how it turns out! How many boats do you guys keep at one time? And how do y'all store them? I feel like that can get expensive/inconvenient in a hurry.

      -That's Blake from Hondayamahafan. I liked the intro. Intros are best when they're tailored to each video. Maybe a little bit long, but I all ready know who y'all are so it kept my attention. That boat is rowdy. I'm excited to see the process. Keep up the good work!

      We currently have 3. We store them outdoors with heavy duty covers. Trailers get put on jack stands. Boats will be winterized shortly. No extra expense to us to store them. We have land.
