Black Fountain from the Factory??
 

I had a good visit with Dr. McFarland about his Fountain yesterday and I'm scheduled to do it the third week in June.

He said the boat was built for Rusty Wallace and had a #2 on the hull previously. Can anyone confirm that this was the only Black or only one ever built.

I'll get some pictures up after we get back from the Jax. PR.

May sound cheesy, but kind of excited about such a rare boat.

I saw that #2 Wallace boat many years ago. I'm trying to remember where. It must be an '88 or so probably a 10 meter.
As far as black boats Lilly's Heartbeat was black from the factory and came with the preachers boat bottom and #3's. It must have been about an 87 or 88. If it has the preachers bottom and #3's I would consider it to be rare.

The Wallace Boat that I knew of (Was told it was his boat) was a 92 black and gold said SC on the sides and was one of three built if it is the one that was built for Rusty it is the only one w/SCs here is a link to her currant owner

I spoke W/Rusty at a race up here in NH back in 2000
He asked us to his crew out on The 42 we had and said he missed his fountain but had to let it go due to sponsorship from another boat Comany.. Was a Cool
Moment for me and My Friend Scott to have Rusty Walk up to us at the Nazwa (Local watering hole) and ask Who owned the big red Fountain and could his Crew go out for a ride with us...My Buddy Scott Who owned the boat Was Stunned!

Donnie, not sure what lenght boat the Dr. has, but I know of 2 Fountains that came black from the factory. My friend had a black 42 with triple blown 540's, that he sold on OSO here about a year and a half ago, and there's a 10 meter that's in Indiana, that I think has 420's and TRS's.

Isn't that black hull unbearably hot?

I know of two black Fountains in WI, first was a 40 foot around mid to late 80s named Thirsty I think owned by Ralph Hazard, Second was early 90s a 35 named Never Enough owned by Nick Mueller.

there was a black 35 twin step around here called The Black Pearl.......recently it was for sale at Shogrens.....
Then there was the black twin big 29 of the deceased OSO member.....

seen one up here in the pacific northwest, not sure of the size or power.

That one is a 38' Fever....I think it might be the same one I was looking at back in 2003. I can't remember who had it for sale....maybe National?
