Fountain Website?
 

Looks like the Fountain website is getting a makeover.

https://fountainpowerboats.com/

Only two models?

I read they are fixing/cleaning some of the molds. They will be available again. According to R3

Same thing with the Donzi website. It only shows the Classic line.

No surprise, Baja website has been re-done in a similar format offering outlaw 23, 26, 30 and 35.

I hope they get the other two sorted quickly because as it stands, a newbie might think Fountain are only building CC's and Donzi only builds 16-22 classics.

The unfortunate thing is that other than SEO and web crawling from search engines, there really is no reason for Fountain to even have a website. The information there hasn't been updated in years, and you can't buy parts from it.

Sorry, just bitter this morning.

Hey, don't feel bad, if they did have parts for sale......it would be just rod Holders and tee tops. Seriously with Velocity gone, I feel your pain.

Looks like Fountain Powerboats is going the way of Sunsation, only building center console boat models. I don't buy into the fact they are fixing / cleaning the molds. Once something in life is gone it rarely comes back. Fountain teased about a revamped 29 Fever at last years Miami Boat Show, have you seen that lately?

As I alluded to in my earlier post, I'd be surprised if Fountain build any more sports boats.
From what I've seen, they built a 38' and were criticized for the color scheme and the interior. I think it was going back to have some trim mods. Did it ever sell? There was a 42' built but not rigged or fitted out, did that ever sell? The 29' was touted for a couple of boat shows and never appeared.

I love Fountain boats but if I was running the business to make money, I'd sell the sports line or just shelve it indefinitely. Sorry guys, I love Donzi too but I think they're going the same way.

Website updates are instant. If they were planning new updates on their boats, why would they update only a few specific models and delete the rest? If they're going to keep building sports boats they should plaster a banner across the front page telling the public 'The all new sports lineup will be released very soon'. That would kill off unnessecary speculation.

Disappointing times for many fans.

EDIT: (Just for laughs)
I noticed this thread from 6 years ago suggesting the exact opposite of what I posted here! http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/d...7-end-era.html

Only time will tell......

R3 has been showing a 42 getting rigged with 700s on Facebook. It looks like a new bare hull.[ATTACH=CONFIG]567404[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]567405[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]567406[/ATTACH]

Also a "Fountain 38", he didnt say if a Lightning or CC.

Why are we putting tools on the top of someone's new engine? And I'm sure that vacuum has a padded bottom so it's not scuffing any gel coat. Guess there's some parts of the build process that shouldn't be publicized... I do like the shape of the bolsters.

Let's not give up hope on Fountain and Donzi.

The more I look at this I have to wonder if this is a re-fit vs a new build. The seats are the same design as my 07 "new Style" cockpit and I remember seeing that interior color combo on some 07-08s.

I still think that style interior was better then the new one in the 38.

^^^^ 100%

It's a refit. I've been chatting with the owner about the passenger side Garmin install. I've got the same Garmin, but scared to start cutting on the carbon fiber dash! LOL

Totally agree and makes me sick even seeing it. I've also attempted on several occasions to get a quote on new cockpit carpet with no response.

Call Corinthian for your carpet.

I just went thru Matworks, they are having a 10% off sale

I read an article published back in 2014 where they said the market dried up due to lack of loans to finance boats and the loss of interest in production type performance models. The custom built boats with cash paying buyers are few in number but became more common. Fountain was planning to focus on center consoles with a goal to produce 30 boats per year. Sad to see it come to this.
