Those early fountians were really built by excaliber had turbo motors. I think I remember the adds promised 86mph. Most race boats were not mutch faster at that time. The name Bill Farmer comes to mine

I remember seeing very early Fountins at the NY boat show back in the late 70's. They were Chris-Crafts, 33 foot I think. With Executuioner on the side and 1000 HP. They had Gale Banks turbo engines.

They modified the bottom with the pad.

Still had Chris-Craft on the side too.
