After some research that is the only one ever built. I concede on the never. Obviously Reggie didn't like it as he built 1. Here is an older thread on that boat.there are bastardized boats of every manufacturer who tried something they weren't happy with.

I have tail pipes to fit 500 manifolds if you want to go full staggered .

that's crazy..lol 97-98 Fountain was sure doing a lot of R&D ... 4 different set up's posted in this thread alone, I agree no other manufacturer spent so much time perfecting the same hull... Makes you appreciate all the hard work Reggie did , I guess that's why you still see the 42's kicking ass on the race course
