Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Fountain 29 Fever 2006 vs Fountain 34 CC 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Fountain 29 Fever 2006 vs Fountain 34 CC 2011 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Fountain 34 CC 2011 measures 34,0 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 5,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Fountain 29 Fever 2006 at 29,0 feet (2006). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Fountain 29 Fever 2006 tips the scales at 585 lbs — 584 lbs more than the Fountain 34 CC 2011 at 1 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The Fountain 34 CC 2011 tops out at 2 hp. Engine specs for the Fountain 29 Fever 2006 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Fountain 29 Fever 2006 carries 131 gallons versus 3 gallons in the Fountain 34 CC 2011. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Fountain 34 CC 2011 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Fountain 29 Fever 2006 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Fountain 34 CC 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Fountain 34 CC 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 10 passengers and at 34,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Fountain 29 Fever 2006 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
