No...we are the original owners. We bought it from Ducky's out of Pennsylvania in 05...Not sure if they are still around.
Our graphics are pretty common...there was one identical to ours on our lake in Southern MO (Table Rock Lake) for a few years. Imagine my surprise when i saw a "twin" of our boat going down the lake only a few months after we took delivery of ours...lol.

Glad to see interest in this post...I will keep everyone up to speed as the build nears completion. We are hoping to be testing in the next couple weeks. Tyler is shipping motors to RF and will be on hand to do install and tuning.

Pair A Dice 2001 42 Lightning did 117-118 with Merc 900SCs. With your updated bottom and extra ponies, I'll guess over 120, maybe even 125. Keep us posted. tnks

thats why I was holding back on the scx lowers, kind of uncharted waters , did not want to so called reinvent the wheel untill there is more scx lowers on this type of boat .

I figured there wouldn't be much of that on this thread since Reggie himself is rigging the boat along with Lil Reggie and Wyatt. I have been pushing throttles on Fountains for over 15yrs..but I am in no way an expert. My brother and I own this boat together and have made NUMEROUS mistakes and several bad decisions along the way...if anyone can get it right....Its gonna be the RF gang.
I appreciate the positive input from all you guys. My brother and I are stoked about going down to meet Reggie and his sons in a couple weeks...Ill keep everyone posted.
PS..Tyler is supposed to chime in tonight on engine specs...stay tuned!
Regards,
Eric

Thanks Pete...I rarely post on forums cuz they typically turn into a cock measuring contest where self professed experts want to tell you how to rig/run your boat, car, motorcycle, truck, wagon, space shuttle, weed eater, or food processor.

Thanks Eric,
Well everyone can say what they want, but you are in a rare position. I am also a die hard Fountain fan. Wish I had the opportunity (and funds) to be doing what you are. Let alone the chance to meet the King...( not to forget Tyler too..)
Keep us posted.
Pete
