Fountain 29 Fever: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Fountain 29 Fever represents the pinnacle of Fountain's single-engine lineup, combining reliability, affordability, and responsiveness. As the largest single-engine model offered by the manufacturer, it delivers impressive performance and spacious accommodations, making it a versatile choice for both recreational and coastal boating.

Exterior Design and Deck Layout

The 29 Fever features a beamy hull measuring 8 feet, 4 inches in width, which contributes to its excellent stability and generous cockpit space. The bow area is equipped with low rails on both sides, a pop-up cleat, and an anchor well, facilitating easy anchoring and safety. The molded-in swim platform includes a fold-away swim ladder for convenient water access. A full-frame wrap-around windshield protects the helm area, while electric bolster seats enhance driver and companion comfort. Just aft of the helm is a comfortable lounge seat and an upholstered sun deck, providing ample space for relaxation and socializing.

Interior Living Spaces

Below deck, the 29 Fever offers a well-appointed cabin that maximizes space and comfort. The port side houses a functional galley equipped with a sink, pressurized water system, and storage compartments. A spring-hinged cooler is integrated to keep refreshments chilled. Forward in the cabin, a cleverly concealed porta-potty is located within the middle bench, maintaining privacy and convenience. Additional storage is available beneath the berths, enhancing the boat's practicality for extended outings.

Power and Performance

Powered by a Mercury Magnum 500 horsepower EFI engine, the 29 Fever delivers exhilarating performance. It achieves a top speed of approximately 67.6 miles per hour at 4,900 RPM and cruises efficiently at 30.2 miles per hour at 2,500 RPM, providing a range of about 361 miles. The boat planes quickly, reaching this state in just 4.7 seconds. Its positive lift hull design and well-balanced construction ensure a responsive and smooth ride across the performance spectrum. Weighing 5,500 pounds with a draft of 34 inches, the boat handles with agility comparable to a race car, while still allowing access to most beaches.

Additional Features and Safety

The 29 Fever is equipped with standard hydraulic steering and Gaff ridge gauges for precise control and monitoring. The engine is mounted on heavy-duty plate mounts and safeguarded by an automatic fire extinguishing system, enhancing safety. The engine hatch is designed for easy access, lifting effortlessly at the touch of a finger, ensuring that all systems remain within convenient reach.

Conclusion

Overall, the Fountain 29 Fever is a well-rounded single-engine boat that excels in both performance and comfort. Its spacious layout, robust powertrain, and thoughtful design features make it suitable for a variety of boating environments, from lakes to coastal waters.
