Love to see those pictures - [email protected]

I'll post em if you want.

--- don't worry about resizing, I'm on a broadband link. . .

Also - 'just for yuks' - include the asking price.

Yes...Please post, I loved those big red machines!

B4M - You're not the only one. True offshore Classics.

The ICBM was OUTRAGEOUS in its day. Must have really pissed off the mainstream. Maybe even contributed to a part of the polarization of 'Fountain vs the World'.

With special thanks to FountainICBM#1 . . . .

I`d love to see a retro ICBM. I had a 10M ICBM and it was a tough boat. The coasties seemed to like it also :D

One night me and a few friends were about 5 miles off Boston in the middle of the night and it had started pouring like mad. We were tearing threw the rain and out of nowhere a Coast Guard boat had pulled us over. And within seconds a giant CG cutter pulled up against the other side :eek:

We were now sandwiched betweeen the coasties and they were all on deck with machine guns pointed at us.

The head of the unit spoke over a bull horn and said "declare your weapons"....I had none other than a flare gun but they sure did`t believe me.. Two of them boarded my boat and thoroughly searched the vessel. after several very tense minutes they were comfortable that there in-fact were no weapons on board.

as we were going to be set free, one of the machine gun wielding Coasties asked what ICBM stood for and I shouted Intercontinental Ballistic Missile!!!! and they all hooted and cheered pumping their fists into the air!

We later found out that the Coast Guard had been on the lookout for a red go-fast with a load of automatic weapons on board.


:D I loved my ICBM!!!! :D:eek:

Not sure if this is a ICBM, but it is a nice 12 meter.

This is an original ICBM 12 Meter. It has supercharged engines and speedmaster drives. I am the original owner and purchased the boat in 1987. According to Reggie Fountain in 1987 while the boat was being built at the factory ICBM stands for "Inter Continental Boating Machine". The boat is still run today and in my opinion it is a true offshore classic.
