They are OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive. I changed my 38's tall windshield for a race fairing. It was about that as well, but worth every penny. Wish they would do a race fairing on the new boats.

Nothing grinds my gears more that having to place 3 towels at three different places everytime I rinse the boat which is every time I use it which is almost every single weekend... And I LOVE fountains more than any of you.

Reggie had to push me away and put my wife in between him and me at the boatshow pictures... I'm still embarrased.

No kidding though, the windows should not leak but they do. Has anyone ever found a way to stop it without spending half of what my boat would sell for right now??

This boat runs 100 and does not break down everytime it goes out and gets on plain easy thanks to bryan at fountain now how do you top that. I have several friends that claim to have fast boats (Scarab) but they cant hold them wide open with out them breaking. You know you get what you pay for.

I agree it looks better with the lower one. But when you sit is the rim of the windsheild at eye level? And does it break the wind as well as the taller one? I'am glad I have my ugly high windsheild running home on a cool night or caught in a down poor.

Nice number! How does the boat feel and act at that speed? What do you run for props?

5800 rpms 31 six blabe 15.5 harring.

You feel the boat could handle a lot more power no chime

Once you see your old boat with a new windshied you just cant go back.

Woah!! Wait a minute you meatGAYzer! A. Who ever said we were friends?? B. I never claimed to have a fast boat. C.Wow I cant belive i'm even responding to these lies!

Now I'll disect your lies.
1. lol that boat doesn't have 700EFI's
2. LOL that boat has 675 with 645 at the prop
3.Speaking on the subject of reliable....it breaks a drive every two weeks from your 4500 RPM cavitation with 6 blades to get on plane. Still relieable??? Motor filled up with water...wow thats relieable...and those fly wheels we wont even get into that.
5.Final point....if i put 240k plus into a 90K deal i'd be embarassed too.
6.FICTION CAN BE FUN!!!!!
4.
