bought a lot of parts from Fountain,,,sides of faring,,head rest skins and foam,,rear sun pad skin and foam,,rear head rest skin,,they made me cup holder because my 32 did not have any in the front,all the vinyl matched perfect to original vinyl ,,prices were in line with everyone else around me maybe a little cheaper,,started with Gail but she is no longer there and the new ladys name I believe is Joanna,,service was great no issues..

sorry about the side tracking,,,

+1. I've also dealt with Joanna Bodwin at Fountain and she's been terrific. Very responsive and helpful. She helped me with new sun pad skins, cup holders, grab rails and a new deck rail. All perfect, and shipped expeditiously.

are these that much better?

To answer your question with what's wrong with the factory pointers... they are plastic. I didn't like the look of cheap plastic parts so I made billet ones. Its a shame with all the money you spent on your boat and dash with Mitcher T paint and still have plastic pointers. I guess you can't beat $1.00 if you like plastic but if you want to look cool it cost a little more.

dude really??
I just asked a question,,,, if you are getting upset because some guys have questioned where their new tabs are and why they have not received them please dont take it out on me,,talk to them,,I simply asked a question..

and you are correct I have spent alot of money on my boat and I just dont think the plastic pointers take away from all the work that I have done,,but I dont know if adding your pointers will really change the look either,,
I did buy some extra pointers ($4.00 more dollars spent)and my buddy at the body shop is painting them,,I think I might like that better...will see..

Good luck,,and by the way plastic is not that bad,, I love women with plastic..

Oh I wish it was that easy but I think it will take more than some billet pointers for me to look COOL....LOL

That is correct...

"Sorry you haven't received them yet. This was my first time with orders and shipping. I will send you a new order with tracking number. I will pm you the tracking number once I get the shipment out. Sorry for any inconvenience."

The next step will be to ship me the order and send the tracking number to confirm. Once I have my indicators, all will be forgiven. At this point, I still do not have either. I am not trying to be a jerk, but I ship things every day and I have not experienced the same troubles. I understand this is not your business, but I paid you money, please complete your portion of the transaction.

Finney 09-17-2013 11:37 AM

I have received the P.M's as well but almost a month later I have no pointers. But you win some you loose some , the boat is still running with the plastic ones :whistle:

You are correct I have not held up my end. I wanted to take care of this last week and had to go on a work emergency. Again not your problem its mine. I will be shipping today and will promptly send you tracking number.

I'm not upset at all. You asked what was wrong with plastic I told you I don't like them. I love the work you did to your boat and no the plastic doesn't take away at all. I just like shinny things. I see your in IL if you boat the chain of puddles we should grab a beer and I'll show you in person the difference they make to the dash.

Not sure on the shiver but probably be out on Saturday. My fountain is nothing special in the looks department I made it fast before pretty. That will all change this winter I'm redoing interior and paint and well pretty much everything but motors. I just want to see yours I'm sure pics don't do it justice!!!!

38fountainecman 09-18-2013 06:41 AM

Missbehavin: Did you receive my paypall payment made to your e-mail address on 8-20-13? Not in any hurry to receive, but I'm looking forward to getting rid of the plastic pointers. I ordered 4 stainless pointers as I have replaced the dash with red carbon fiber with stainless bezels and the pointers are the last detail.
Thanks,

38fountainecman....I'm replacing my dash and gauges within a few weeks and Steve has convinced me to go with carbon fiber...do you have a picture of yours...
Thanks

count me in would like ss

HyFive578 01-18-2014 03:49 PM

Does anyone who bought the billet aluminum pointers have an extra one by any chance??

eddie 01-28-2014 01:29 PM

Is MissBehavin777 still making these and everyone that ordered get them? I'm doing blue carbon fiber and think this would be a nice touch.

Yeah, they look pretty nice against the blue carbon fibre for sure. I traded messages with him a little over a month ago as I was looking for one more (now that I have three engines..LOL) and he said he had sent me one, but it never turned up and I have been unable to reach him since. His PM inbox here is full and I've sent him emails to his paypal email address with no luck. I have no beef here, just don't know what happened.. hope he's ok.

38fountainecman 01-29-2014 06:08 AM

I got burned for $125.00, ordered and paid for the stainless steel, never sent, traded posts and e-mails, never received. A little dissapointed, don't know why some folks got theirs and I didn't, but that's life. Seemed like a nice guy, but must of gotten overwhelmed by it all.

Wow. That stinks. When I first ordered, got them in a few days. You probably could have disputed the payment on paypal.

leonard 01-29-2014 07:46 AM

Wow I got mine a while ago he seemed like a good guy and made sure I got them. I have to agree with HyFive578, I hope nothing happen to him.

Crude Intentions 01-29-2014 09:32 AM

I got mine quick also. Even though I don't have the boat yet. Figured I'd get these for when I did.

Gh700xx 01-29-2014 09:42 AM

no joke I was hoping to buy some dang it

US1 Fountain 01-29-2014 10:53 AM

That's too bad. Was he making these on the side at work or with his own machinery? I could see a machine shop frowning upon an employee using their equipment to make and sell parts for personal gains.

eddie 01-29-2014 11:33 AM

Anyone want to sell four they have and don't need now?

HyFive578 01-29-2014 01:25 PM

I'm holding out hope that I can get one more at some point, but if it turns out not to be the case; I would sell you mine.

MissBehavin777 01-30-2014 08:22 AM

Hey guys haven't been on for awhile had some personal family matters that I was taking care of and all fell apart last couple months. Hyfive578 I have your spare part going to ship to you today. 38fountainecman I cant find the parts I had set aside for you so I can refund you your money today or I can make new ones in about two weeks. Eddie I will pm you to see what you need.

I have a rental agreement with the shop owner for the machine time. But in the process of buying my own equipment to do my own stuff faster and cheaper.

38fountainecman 01-30-2014 08:33 AM

Missbehavin: I would love to get the pointers and I'll surely wait the 2 weeks or so. It wasn't the money as much as I was dissapointed I wouldn't be able to get the pointers, my dash needs them terribly. I'm glad to hear you have worked though the family matters. Hope all is well.
