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. Brian 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. |

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 |

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?
