24’ Fountain
Don’t see many of these.
The offshore guys hated them cuz they weren’t an offshore boat.
The lake boat crowd didn’t care for it cuz it was too big.
https://columbus.craigslist.org/boa/...448151008.htmlI'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.
I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.

Pretty rare to find, never mind in that condition. Also has the 502 Magnum to guarantee 70 mph and what looks like dual external steering.

I almost bought one years ago, it is a nice mid size boat. The one I looked at had a merc 500efi . The problem was the entire boat was a deep red with a grey and red interior...

Less then he price of a new outboard. Make sure you ride in one of the 24s before you buy it (shallow and flat bottom= rougher ride then you might anticipate). We had one in our group for a short time.

Looks like a pretty small boat when you subtract the swim platform and the beak from 24', I would agree it probably is no good in the rough as you guys mentioned above.

IIRC it was geared more as a lake boat for tubing and skiing, dead rise is only 18 degrees.
