nice boat

Re: Fast Fountain...
 

Can't even imagine what they're askin for that ride. :rolleyes:

Re: Fast Fountain...
 

I heard that this boat was designed, built and set up under Reggie"s watchful eye...

I also heard that there is a $25,000 additional charge to have Reggie personally set up your boat..

Does anyone have additional info on this ????

Re: Fast Fountain...
 

I called and talked to them and they are asking in the $700-$800 range. They had the boat out the other day and he said it ran 145...

Re: Fast Fountain...
 

This specific boat is available? For sale?? Or one like it..... What was the story behind it??

Re: Fast Fountain...
 

absolutely outstanding paint job

Re: Fast Fountain...
 

Steve,

I believe this boat is the one the guy with the '03 38 ordered as the replacement. Looks like it was just fininshed on 9/30 and is for sale already! You will notice on the link it is a Tom Jr. deal...speaking of which, I have a story. Call me when you have time.

Would love to see some real pics of this bad boy.

Re: Fast Fountain...
 

With 1300 hp, how many times can you take a boat like this out on trial runs before you have to rebuild the engines?

Re: Fast Fountain...
 

about 40 hours worth...

Hey Gary, I knew that. What I couldn't figure out was why? I was hoping I wouldn't have to call, but did. Turns out the guy who owns it is willing to sell it for what he paid for it and then do it again. :rolleyes: Knowing all the trouble he went through to get it as perfect as it is, I am shaking my head. Well, I always said the thrill is in the hunt, but for this guy the thrill is in the build. What I was afraid of was that my deal might have tanked, so of course I worried -in the end for nothing but still had to call because it didn't make sense. I can tell you whoever can pony up the coin for this badboy is going to be smoking happy. Getting all the custom stuff right was a nightmare for him and it took over 7 months. Then to start over??? :eek: Wow.......

I was going to call but work is nuts, just got home at 9..... I'm going to try and hook up tomarrow..... We still need to do dinner...

new owner needs to clean-up at next years NY poker run :eek:

Re: Fast Fountain...
 

If he sells, could be him. Told me he was going to come to the next run with his buddy who did a similar thing with a 47. Same power - Sterling 1350 on Cam II, 1100 on Premium. Custom paint, set up by Reggie etc. These boats are insane money, at least for me. The boys at Fountain claimed they had it at 142, but it ran 135 or so with the owner and Reggie at the helm. Reggie held back as the guy was on the boat. Guy made a real point telling Reggie was a class act and a hell-of-a-pilot. Hey if he does another one, then there might be 3 more rocket ships to carry the Fountain name.

Re: Fast Fountain...
 

one hell of a rig.........

Re: Fast Fountain...
 

This is an identical setup to FountainDrivers 42. FountainDrivers boat ran 125MPH @ 5600 last weekend full of fuel on 93 octane. (1100HP) The Garmin GPS has 130 MPH recorded in it. This boat has never had the boost turned to the 1350HP setup. It is also for sale. There are several of these setup out there now.

Re: Fast Fountain...
 

Good. Now as soon you can get one for about 200 k...... :(

Re: Fast Fountain...
 

This morning I had voice mail from Ducky's Tom Jr wanted to know if I am still looking for a 42 :eek: :eek:

Re: Fast Fountain...
 

QUESTION: I am thinking about buying a 40' Fountain. 454's, with Bravo's . The Hull is a 1985. I want to run the Hull number and check the history, and maybe the options this boat came with. Guy said it orig has twin SBC with blowers, and speedmasters, and was professionally raced? If anyone can help the HULL ID # is: FGQ12011H485 REG # NC861BD The hull is in fair shape orig colors it looks like, race nuber was on bow and scrapped off, only red outline shows, Orig from North Carr and now sits in Long Island NY, boat is a 6.5 out of a 10. not bad for it's age. Guy wants $12.000 w/o trailer.

Re: Fast Fountain...
 

Did you try calling Fountain headquarters?

Re: Fast Fountain...
 

I did not call Fountain, but I contacted the NC Boat Reg Section in Raleigh,NC and got a name of the owner in Washington NC, (BILL KOOIMAN ) he is unlisted in the phone book, or has since moved. Anyone know him, maybe is a Fountain race guy from down south ? I may try Fountain next, anyone got a tel # for them?

Re: Fast Fountain...
 

Does the boat have red gel?

Re: Fast Fountain...
 

Boat is all white with checker board graphics in the rear,I called Chris today at Fountain: He said he was going to look into it, he did say it was origional tripple engine boat and must have been converted to twin's at some point. Not to many 40' Fountains were made that year with tropples. If anyone else can run a hull trace let me know. I am going back tomorrow to look at it again, and maybe put a deposit.

Have any pictures?
