Wow!......buckets....Is that ever similar!.....Reggie himself told me they only made about a half dozen......post some more pics......doug

dont have to many pics.never thought about that when your young and have fun.ahh the good old days.

My 88 29 Fountain (27' back in the day) has the exact same interior as yours, including the bucket seats. Have had it for 8 years.

My boat looks just like yours, except for the red stripe down the side, near the end is a red x on mine, same paint scheme as the 10m Executioner. The previous owner told me it was built in Jan. 88 and is registered as an 88 model. I hope to have some pics up soon.

Bottom pic, mines been like that a few times too.

all they talk about is fountains-----we need to get involved!

Have you ever noticed how reggie speaks to you like your an idiot. Which could lead to the ill will you all are speaking of.

I voiced my concern to him about my family being on the swim platform and causing his demo to take on water in the engine compartment.

He in essence blew me off, and untill I see some sort of fix for his boats lack of freeboard I don't see myself owning one.


However his company and the people that work for it make good boats for a great price.

Just be willing to do a little fit and finish your self as well as alittle quality assurance before you head out to an oil rig.


There is a big difference in stepped v and straight v boat speed and ride quality that can't be overlooked.

Ultimately it all comes down to what it is that you want from a boat. I like a dry one.

Every boat builder has problems, as does ford , dodge and many others . And then there are people you can not please with what ever , so let the world go a round.

You had to go back a year ago to find this post. I have talked to Reggie a couple of times, he never talked to me like an idiot. Sometimes preoccupied, or brief if he is at a show talking to customers, but not disrespectful. Which model of Fountain was taking on water? Lets see, you've been a member since 2004, and this is your 6th post, and you are up at 4:15 a.m. on OSO, My guess their is more to this than we are being told. Sorry for your bad experience.

Never heard of anyone complain about Reggie, actually the opposite seems to be the norm. Was he just talking lingo and you didn't understand him?
Ill will?..... not sure where that came from.

Just how big is your family? What model boat?
I've had 6 people at times on the back of my boat when tied up and never had any problem. The water would just barely start to get on the swim platform. There is absolutley no way water will ever get in the the engine compartment by coming over the top of the deck just sitting. But I'm sure that is not what you are claiming, water over the hatch opening. You may get water in there that will leak past behind the rubrail though in back if the sealant isn't applied heavy enough to the hull/deck joint. Mine used to leak there, but I resealed it, now no matter how I use my boat, never a single drop in the bilge.


There is no 'fix' for the lack of freeboard, that's the design. You are talking about a design change. That's why you own a Formula, different strokes for different folks. I take it you are unhappy with your Formula since you were looking at Fountains?
