Anyone have the contact info for the owner of Little Ceasars?
#21
Last owner that I'm aware of was James Horn. After flipping his 45' Fountain "Fountain Flyer" in Key West back in 1998 he lost interest in racing and boating. He was in the process of converting Little Ceasars into a pleasure boat. Bulkheads were cut out of the bow, a half cabin was built, boat was converted from tripples to twin staggared set up with # 6's, cockpit was gutted, etc. etc. The boat sat unfinished for years at Performance Marine in Florida with plant life growing in the bilge...I worked for Jim Horn when we had the Fountain dealership in Lighthouse Point, Florida but have not spoken to him in the past 3 years...I'm not sure if the boat had changed hands after that or not.....

I didn't see this post until today but did stumble across the ad for little ceasers two days ago. Text my buddy that night and he hopd a plane to lauderdale and most likely is buying it today. It'll be another complete strip down and rebuild returning it to it's original look with triple power. Dave now has 5 apaches in his stable.

He got it. Just text me pics. Need to have a new trailer built for it then will get it back to Tahoe.
Plan is to build it the way it was (updated power of course). Really cool that the old girl is going to get the rebuild it deserves after sitting for so long.

Couple questions after looking at pics.
Did they separate the hull and deck to get the cabin liner in there? Had to right? (Looks a bit like a Powerplay liner)
Does it have a new deck, or was it always side entry cabin?
