2000 Fountain 47 Lightning - Triple 525HP Mercury - Only 91 Hours

Extremely clean 2000 Fountain 47 Lightning powered by triple 525HP Mercury engines with only 91 original freshwater hours. This is a rare, custom-built performance boat that has been exceptionally cared for its entire life.

Originally built by Jack Carmody, well-known boat racer and Fountain dealer out of Austin, Texas. The boat was later owned by Dickey Tillman and has always been professionally maintained and stored indoors in a climate-controlled airplane hangar.

Recent service includes upgraded gimbal rings, new carburetors, and major maintenance completed within the last year. Fuel tanks are currently empty due to professional indoor storage.

The boat presents in outstanding condition inside and out with a very clean cabin, strong-running engines, and excellent overall cosmetics. Cabin still carries a new-boat smell and the boat is truly a museum-quality example.
