He emailed me we did not get in touch yet but I did not have phone service.

OK so I talk to Josh today and they said that they would mail me the new hardtop if I sent back the old hardtop.

Liveto99 · Aug 3, 2020

They also offered if I brought the boat in to completely switch the hard top for me.
They had put the radar on and my radio and stuff on the top.
I have to figure out what I’m gonna do but I’m very happy with the response.
they said that I have the old design and they will be switching it for the new design.
Way to go cycle springs very happy.

I bought my boat from cycle springs and have nothing but good things to say about them. Haven't had to deal with any problems yet though....

Ok so I just dropped my boat back at Cycle Springs. 2,428 miles round trip.
they will change the old style for the new for free. We will see how it turned out. So far I’m very happy they are doing it because of the electronics that are in the top, Radar, radio, and antenna.
ill give report soon, about a month. Having then do the plugs air filter and oil because it is there.

My 195 FSH Deluxe is being shipped to Cycle Springs on Friday. I originally was going to get the 195 FSH Sport but opted for the Deluxe instead because I really liked their Hard Top and would have eventually changed the rag top out for one. My salesmen, Scott suggested ordering the Deluxe would workout close to what a Sport model would have cost, so in the long run, I feel I saved a huge chunk of money. I was also told that the tower and T-top are designed especially for the 195 Deluxe. So with that savings, I'm having a Lowrance Elite T12 installed in the console, and a Minn Kota 24V Riptide Terrova 80 Trolling Motor w/i-Pilot & Bluetooth. I have nothing but good things to say about Cycle Springs, they have kept me informed through-out this process. Just an FYI I ordered my bought back in April.

My boat is done! I can’t see it until about Nov. 15th. They are shipping it to Stuart Fl for me. I’ll give update when I see it.
I am bringing 46’ Ocean yacht down to Stuart from Southampton the beginning of Nov. So I’ll post some pics from the trip it should be fun. Hoping to stay outside most of the time instead of the intercostal.

Good to hear. Are you crewing? Or, did you buy a bigger boat?

The motors were $42,000 each on the 35 Fountain I will take a cracked sender compared to everything else that could go wrong with the motors. They are 575s punched out and built by Corretti race motors on Long Island. 750 hp each on carburetors and will do about 1200 hp with superchargers on them. We left these for longevity and did not put superchargers on.

Taking the Ocean down it is my friends, his father wants to go on the trip he’s 80 so he really should not but the three of us are going to go have some fun on the way down. He is paying for fuel?

Remember the best boat in the world is your friends boat!
The Fountain is his also.

Back to the top. They replaced it at no cost with the updated one. They also moved all my electronic equipment that was on it. I didn’t go on the boat or take the cover off but the hard top looks good and has a few pictures I’ll get to test it in January.
