And here I've been thinking it was, according to "The Other Guys", because Reggie bought all the race organizations and won't let anyone else play. :D

Might need some help if anyone wants to venture over into the Fountain forum. I know I've seen & heard about 29 twins under water @ transom; also some sinking.....32's also. Man those guys take things way too seriously!


I hate a F**kin Beaker with an attitude and gold chains!


And you think we take things way to seriously?

Just trying to keep it interesting, seems like it might be working....You guys don't really bother me that much.

When you think about it, if it wasnt for Fountain power boats there would be hardly anything to talk about, most everybody would agree on everything. :D:D:D:D:D

ROADHOG 12-14-2007 02:34 PM

For years I was one of the Fountain BASHER'S. Then I bought one, 2005 42 X with 525's. I can't say enough good things about the ride,performance, and handling of boat. Yes, if I would have bought the boat new I would have been upset with some of the detail to fit and finish. I would have made the same comment about my 2001 358 Sonic that I bought used.

If someone wants to wait up too a YEAR and have Fountain build them a custom boat I'm sure the fit and finish would be better than a production boat. Nothing is perfect!!

OH, BUY THE WAY I'M AN X 32AT OWNER!!!!!

fountain 47 sc 12-14-2007 03:39 PM

At least there are some interested participants in this thread. Call Fountain and try to get any interest and you might be in for a surprise. I have a Fountain which has been a phenomenal boat. It rides great, runs strong and smooth, isn't too bad on fuel, has great room and cabin amenities, and has had no major problems, but I have called Fountain several times about specific details and maintenance questions and have been very dissappointed. I don't want an Active Thunder, but maybe I should call them with the questions. I think I'd have better luck and interest from the sounds of it.

ROADHOG 12-14-2007 04:34 PM

DITTO on FOUNTAIN, Have called several times and the response and answers have been less the satisfactory. I have owned several other boats and those manufacture's have not all been real responsive either. The one company that I never had any problems with was CHECMATE. I have owned 3 Checkmates and never had any issue with them.

Why not contact a dealer? I don't call Ford directly on service questions for my truck. I have spoke to the factory on a three way call with a dealer before. They where very helpfull on my needs.

o.k maybe,,,,, but i guess,,,,,,,, your race boat, would have ,,say cool stickers and one hell of a hood scoop. as it rounded the last buoy for 4th place.

spilman 12-14-2007 10:26 PM

COOL stickers rule!....thats good...

There aren't many buoys in the Poker runs I attend, except for the shoal markers. lol

I was a Fountain owner. Owned a 35 executioner than test rode a 42 Lightning and wasn't impressed. Bought a 37 AT no comparision. :D

The owner of AT (Pat Haughey)regularly posts his cell no. on here and he answers it when you call. :cool:

ROADHOG 12-15-2007 05:21 AM

No dealer in Southeast Michigan, or in Michigan at all. The issue that I had we're not one's that a dealer could take care of anyway's. I just thought that with Fountain it might be different but I was surprised. Still love my boat,but I think if REGGIE would look at his after sale support that would eliminate some of the bashing. ( I DON'T THINK SO )

Boat in Michigan, Member on board now own's my 32AT.

I think you were done before you got started. A guy with a 28' boat with small blocks that runs maybe 65 - 70 mph trying to bash on guys with 35, 38, and 42 footers that run 90 - 100+ mph, and convince us that our choice in powerboats is totally ignorant. Give me a break:rolleyes:. You've got a ways to go. And you should take note of the fact that we are not all over your case for the choice you made. If majority rule dictated what was available in powerboats you would all be in our brand, like it or not Fountain has for many years, and still does, produce more performance boats than any other manufacturer, some say as much as 50 - 60% of all built in a given year. While I am not positive on the numbers, I do know for a fact Fountain produces far more than AT. Just maybe we all know something you don't. You think???

Thank you, I'll accept!!! Now just convince Reggie that "The President" needs a factory demo, a nice 42 with 1075's and #6's. :D

Oh, and that's "Mr. President" to you AT guys!!!

NICE...most of what you said is unrelated to my posts. It is not possible to accurately "bash" Active Thunder boats; they are that good. I think I stated that I didn't buy my boat to go 100 in a straight line; but yes I will move up in the future. But it will most likely be another AT. I don't think I said that your choice was ignorant, although it sounds like it's on your mind!LOL
BTW, I built my first 80+ mph o/b boat almost 20 yrs ago & I've had a few boats since. But, I don't claim to be an expert; I just enjoy boating, poker runs & top quality vehicles.
My "slow little" 28 AT is a unique and well built machine that suits my taste for now.
I also enjoy hearing what the fountain guys are claiming...kinda like Reggies ads, good reads....
BTW, Pat builds em' hands on, w/attention to precision detail and extreme TLC...yeah fountain pumps out alot more boats, but what does that really mean??
