Hydro streams used to have the same look. If I remember it was so everyone would know what kind of boat it was at a distance.
As for the fountains, I have measured and if you carried the bow angle it is about 10". That said there are a lot of different angle bows, should we go back to flat nosed boats?

The beak is something that will always make a Fountain stand out from the others. It is a distinctive look and makes it so there's never a doubt what kind of boat it is. Whether you like it or not, there will never be a person who mistakes a Fountain for any other boat. There are a lot of other boats out there that have very similar styling but the Fountain always looks unique. Just my $.02

not sure the beak adds any length at all,,most think it does,
if you look at the bows the rake on the one boat is longer ,, the rake on the Fountain is much shorter and sharper ,

Is the closest boat under the red cover a Baja, Formula, Cigarette, Outerlimit's, or a Bayliner?
Hard to tell. They all look alike.
Guess if there was a side shot of the logo, that'd help.
Whoops, my bad. They use that round logo.
