Some of that damage must have occured during the salvage. Maybe they dragged the boat to shore instead of floating it up and towing it in????

Fountain doesnt glass the hull to deck joint either........
Very few do

I know I've launched off six footers in my old 89' 311, and all I got was a good "teeth jarring".

That looks like it got dropped off a very high bridge.

I guess the previous owner of mine did it himself

Ouch is right! WTF? I can't believe how that boat just unzipped like that!

I would of thought they would of at the very least used a lot of Plexius and through bolt the seam. I just see a little bit of the bonding goop and no through bolts.

Not impressed, I don't care what happened.

notice how the glass seperated from the core...

Hard to believe a cored hull is as strong as a full layup. I've seen a lot of pictures showing seperation between the coring and whatever layup.

Should have bought an old Fountain. That would NEVER happen

Are they sure they didn't drop a cruiser ON it?

Appears to be more to the story, then the reader's Digest version on E-Bay. Can't believe all that damage came from hitting a cruiser wake. My old Formula could take more of a beating than your body could take.
