i am wondering if the guy is in fact a member here as stated why this boat wasnt listed on RDs?
probably because he didn’t want a call out thread if anything goes bad.
It probably needs transom & stringers .
Everytime I see a fountain with a red stripe / checkers I wonder about the stand up jetski incident. I'm not saying this is the boat, just always passes through the mind.
I don't believe anyone ever had a pic of it. It was probably re-painted or chopped up.ouch ouch
anybody have the old pic of that possible Fountain? YIKES!

[/QUOTE]the owner did not list it here because he knew the best offer would be half market value
It is, looked red while outside looking with the shades on. So we'll adjust that to faded red.Pink and yellow on this one

Did you trailer that to Yorba Linda without straps on it? Please tell me no......
So sloppy joe is your son??
The bow strap is not connected as well, so I'd guess that they were taken off to clean it up.Did you trailer that to Yorba Linda without straps on it? Please tell me no......

You should consider replacing those old fuel hoses for something rated for modern fuels.
Bet the U-bolts were loosened up to slide that brace forward. Optimistically...
Only way I'm finding that works is over the engine hatch or dropping in through the bow access hatch. Bow hatch isn't the easiest but beats landing on the windshield balls first!@NorCalRiverRat thought the same thing but looks like he’s giving it a good cleaning. Noticed the spray bottle by the bow pulpit.
Saw this one came off my favorites list! Test drove an almost identical boat towards the end of last year. Wanted to love it but can’t see how anybody could deal with getting in and out of the drivers seat. Getting up on the bow was a nightmare too. Other than that these bad boys are runners and I think they look sexy as hell. Congrats to your son on a new float.

That is the one! It's got a few things that could use some attention but I can do some of it myself. It looks much better after it's bath which was much needed!Saw that on Craigslist out here in the IE. Looked fairly clean and a pretty good price...I think it was listed for about $35k
With straps lolDid you trailer that to Yorba Linda without straps on it? Please tell me no......
