Thats funny I saw it there also. I remember the salesman "michael jordan", a white guy, who was proud that they were the "largest fountain dealer" etc etc. Neat boats.

i remeber reading that the boat would run right at 90mph with 500hps.
later

Fountain made a 65' Express cruiser

I knew they made the ec. I guess I should have prefaced that by saying a 51 sport boat.

The 51' was tested by 'Yachts' with triple 600hp Innovation engines and reached 89mph with six people on board and nearly 75% load capacity.

The 51 never really worked out. It was a little faster power for power than the 47 but it wouldn't turn right and was unsafe. I believe there were only 3 ever built. Jordan tried and tried back then to get me to order one. I'm glad that I stuck with my 47 at the time after seeing and hearing all the bad. It seems like that boat was at the Miami show in 98 or 99, hard to remember back that far for sure.

So I Also heard only 3 made and why because they didn't work. My friend has one of them out here in San Diego I took a ride and getting on plane she would rock port to starboard for a bit then it would run great but I thought it was an aweful feeling, "why is it doing that" went though my head. Funny thing is it has the same checkered pattern as the one in the pior photos I thought it was my friends when I first looked at it. I did notice that center motor is way down inside the blidge.
