 Fountain 33 SFC
Ijust did a sea trial on a 2007 Fountain 33SFC with 275 Verados inMaryland yesterday. Liked the boat. WOT averaged about 50-52. Calmseas, 150 gallons fuel, 2 people. lite load. Boat has a great layout.
I think the best in its class. I wish I had the $$$$ for the 2009 modelwith the 300 Verados and the change to the hull. Fountain advertisesthat the boat has a WOT of 58MPH. I believe they changed the chime alittle. I'm sure it would only be noticeable if you were familiar withboth models. The 2007 felt good to me. I would have liked to take itout in the ocean, but that was too far from where we were to give it atrue test. It turned very nice at 30MPH.
In my opinion, and I'm new to playing with trim tabs and engine tabs,the boat has to be dialed in correctly to get max performance with thestep hull. I'm sure after a week or two, one would have the boatfigured out, and obtain the right settings.
The fish boxes are very big, the cabin is plenty big for my needs.Seating is nice if you have a few friends on board. And the seats foldaway so you can obtain max fishing space. Helm layout for 2 screens istight, they should have made it wider to be able to handle duelscreens. Overall, I really like the boat.
