Fountain Fever: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Fountain 27 Fever is a high-performance, entry-level model tailored for first-time buyers seeking the thrill and style of larger performance boats at a more accessible price point. As Fountain's smallest single-engine offering, the 27 Fever delivers capabilities comparable to its bigger counterparts, featuring a recent remodel that introduced a wraparound integral windshield, multiple power options, and a suite of upgraded features. Its popularity among new high-performance boat owners underscores its blend of performance, design, and value.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
Measuring 27 feet in length with an 8-foot 4-inch beam and a 33-inch draft, the 27 Fever is designed for both performance and convenience. The boat includes a pop-up cleat and a compact anchor locker located just aft of a combined port and starboard navigation light. The integral swim platform is equipped with two handrails and a folding swim ladder, facilitating easy water access during recreational activities. Weighing approximately 4,900 pounds, the boat is trailer-friendly, allowing for straightforward transport and shallow water cruising.
Cockpit and Helm
The cockpit area is efficiently designed to maximize space utilization. Locking glovebox-style compartments are integrated beneath the seats and above the passenger-side dash, providing secure storage options. Electric drop-down seats enhance accessibility to the helm, which is thoughtfully arranged for intuitive control. All gauges and instruments are within easy reach of the wheel, promoting effortless operation. Handrails are strategically placed throughout the cockpit to ensure safety and convenience. A comfortable three-person aft bench seat completes the cockpit seating arrangement.
Interior Living Spaces
Inside the cabin, the 27 Fever offers a cozy V-berth complemented by several throw pillows for added comfort. Storage is ample, with dedicated space for gear and a conveniently stowed porta-potty. The cabin features a wraparound sofa that comfortably seats four individuals, enhanced by uniquely positioned track lighting that provides effective illumination. An onboard stereo system with a CD player and speakers distributed throughout the boat ensures an enjoyable atmosphere for social gatherings.
Engine Room and Power Options
The engine room is designed with the do-it-yourself enthusiast in mind, allowing straightforward access for routine maintenance tasks such as oil and filter changes and fuel line inspections. While routine upkeep is accessible, Fountain advises entrusting major engine repairs to professional technicians. The 27 Fever offers several powertrain options; the test boat was powered by a 496 Magnum MerCruiser engine. Performance testing revealed a planing time of 6.1 seconds, a top speed of 62.6 miles per hour at 5,000 rpm, and an optimal cruising speed of 35.8 miles per hour at 3,000 rpm, which translates to a cruising range of approximately 158 miles.
Conclusion
The Fountain 27 Fever stands out as a sporty yet comfortable entry-level performance boat. Its thoughtful design, efficient use of space, and strong performance metrics make it an appealing choice for first-time buyers seeking the excitement and amenities of larger high-performance boats without the associated cost. With its recent updates and versatile power options, the 27 Fever continues to be a popular and practical option in its class.
