Nice looking boat. Here is some advice for a new fountain owner on OSO.

Your boat is not a 27 ft, even though that is the LOA measurement. OSO members that do not own fountains take 4 ft off your length to help them cope with the fact that it is extremely fast for its size. (It makes them feel better about being slow)

Even though your bottom is a race proven, safe, wave handling machine OSO members will try to convince you otherwise. The thought here is you can't go fast AND handle waves. This has always puzzled me, seems the hull of choice for super Vee should be a sunseeker or some other 60ft yatch under this premise.

Lefty jokes....no biggie

Your cabin and cockpit are small, some here will tell you it's so small that you should never have more than two people in the boat. Corvettes, Ferraris and such have the same problems......station wagons and mini vans do not have this problem.

Fountain went bankrupt (along with the majority of performance boat manufactures not making million dollar rides) and because you own a 20 year old fountain you are not allowed to debate its performance under this premise, in fact you should have burned the boat on site when you first acquired it. Apparently Reggie receives a 40 percent kickback on all used fountains sold, and this angers people.

Get a gold chain and black hair dye. This sometimes comes across as a punch line here, but it has been proven that this is the key to winning championships and setting records.

Don't mention speed record to anyone that owns an OL or a Cig.....lots of bad blood there.

Be prepared to prove that you are not Jim Darr. In fact, do not mention catamarans or boating in the mid west for at least one year....otherwise you will be banned for being Jim Darr.

Every once in a while you will see the word "Sunkin" it is not a typo, that's a man's name and it's actually profanity on this site.

Good intro 4bus. Remember cigs can run 80 in 8 footers

Gh700xx 01-27-2014 12:32 PM

LMAO I know there is some kind of axe to grind for some ppl as far as fountains go lol. Im not too worried though I like the boat and have always liked fountains. I have never met Reggie fountain and may never get the chance but I have seen plenty of interviews vids etc.... of the man to know I like his attitude lol. As far as im concerned it takes all types to make the world/boat world go round so to each their own but I like fountains. Don't get me wrong I like all kinds of boats from lil ones to big uns and eventually do want a cat of some sort just not sure what or when. But for now im happy with my lil ole project that I hope to put a lil power under and hit a few lakes and poker runs and goof off and have fun with everyone and go from there....

I do appreciate the compliments on the boat and the heads up about some of the ppl though lol.

Yeah yeah yeah. I got tired of the poor build, rough ride and small cockpit of my Fountain, so I bought a Baja cruiser. Now I can go anywhere, as fast as it will run, and carry as many as I want.

Baja. Speed Changes You

ItS not just a saying. It's a way of life. :D

Gh700xx 01-27-2014 01:29 PM
