looks like one ran at biloxi...

as usual another fast hott piece. good work fountain

So is this a 33 with the beak and platform chopped off, or did they modify a 35??

Thats kind of what it is !!!!!!

What powers it and what is the top speed to date?

It has a stock 525 and its a 33ft cut down. Last i heard Roger somewhere around 95-96

Recently (2008?) the 35 went to a staggered setup. In race trim, with no swim platform it measures just under 33'. SVL rules say 32' maximum, so it doesn't fit the class.

More recently (2009?), Fountain reintroduced the 33' Lightning. For the most part, same cabin, and same cockpit as the 35, but back to a side-by-setup. Now in race trim, it comes in at 31' or so.

Nice job Fountain folks. Hope she turns out to be as competitive as the rest of the Fountain race fleet.

the Fountain SVL "Watch Your Back" demolished the fleet in Lake Cumberland today......congrats to Doc, Brian and Matt

It is from this mold !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 100% , and if u cut it down 6 inches..it is actually 29.11 feet !!!!!!!!
Becasue that is what this one meassures !!!! !

It's a production mold for the 33' Lightning. Has to be... otherwise it won't pass through the homologation process for the sanctioning bodies.

Cutting down the top of the hull is legal, but changing the length is not.

YEP !!!!

today Doc Janssen and Brian Forehand won convincibly in a rough water race in Sunny Beach Isle......congratulations to the SVL "Watch Your Back" team

Congrats!

What the real deal here with this "new" Fountain?
 

So what is it?
The other racers call it new technology bottom.
You guys said its right off their 33...deck and hull cut down in height.
It takes a set extremely well.
I suspect the layup is very light.
Will this morph into a new sport boat.
What is so much more high tech over lets say the Phantom?
What the real deal here guys

Mother has been watching. Mother is not happy, and she is asking how much horsepower is this moter really giving to the prop?

5 years later and we still can't figure this out?

It's sad really. A boat was allowed to run in P class as a family fun team. This evolved into an illegal boat with modified deck and modified hull, racing with a modified moter, in a spec class, with a self proclaimed worlds-best driver at the wheel with foot throttle control. Mother was not suprised when this pompus ass spun out, twice, then while trying to fix the parts he had broken, shows the first evedince of how this boat found its Magic Speed.

Bump, what happend to this Fountain?

It wins races, they get caught cheating, they win more races, get caught cheating again...

Thats sad id guess.

Is the boat it self up to the requirements and homologation and the cheating part is the engine or? Hard to figure out how the boat works if its cheating going on.


Read 96mph in an article online, thats pretty fast even though its probably a good hull.
