Hi all,

Just joined the forum as well as purchasing a new Fountain 29 Fever with twin 6.2s. I have read about the pros and cons of twins vs single 500, etc. and will report my experience when I take delivery...should be tomorrow. Any information about Fountains (should be plenty!) or 6.2 MPI engines would be appreciated. I traded a 2001 Powerquest with a single 496 HO Mag that I loved but not as much as the 29. I would like to hear from anyone with experience or recommendations on drive showers for Bravo I drives. Regards to all and enjoy the upcoming weekend!

Thanks for the replies! I put 12 hours on the 29 this past weekend and loved every minute of it. The 6.2's are sweet and the mid-range performance was unbelievable. I think your advice on the drive showers is on the money. I take my boats on long cruises quite often and, if the water is right, like to run quick. Cheap insurance and the color coding will be right! Did have two problems with the Fever...I think the drivers power bolster seat broke coming off a wave at speed, will not come up all the way now...will check with the dealer. Also, 5 gaffrig gauges are fogged up - I was surprised at that.
