Anyone know what ICBM stands for?
 

Intercontinental Ballistic Missle.

I was checking my spelling in the dictionary and stumbled across this. This was one of Fountain's models right? I never new what it meant.

I believe it stands for Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile.

That's what I always thought it was.

That is correct.

You are correct. I used to work for BMDO; the Ballistic Missle Defense Organization, in the basement of the Pentagon. They are they guys with their fingers hovering over all those little ICBM Launch Red Buttons, literally.

I heard that boat only came in red.... Is that correct????????????

NO not just red . I have seen lots of them in white with red and blue stripes .

Ken is right.....but in my world it stands for;
I Can't Blame Myself.. or
I CAN Be Mislead!!!

SORRY, BUT YOU ARE ALL WRONG!
ICBM on the Fountain boat stood for"
Inter Continental Boating Machine!

You are all wrong It stands for :
I
Can
Blow
Motors

Right Biggus :D :D

i thought it was somthin like Ichy Crochity Beak machine

Catmando, Was refering to the original ICBM!! (I CAME BACK MONDAY!!) in referance to when the wife ask when you got back from business trip when you really got back Sat. !!

Audio, Is right, I used to own a 10M ICBM and in my case, ICBM was I Can Blow Motors
:eek:

I spent my ALL my savings on big blocks in one summer :eek:

Our local boating club gave my Honey the "Most understanding wife award"

It`s all good,

Kurt :D

I did not know what it stood for and thought to post it as a bit of trivia. If you knew what it stood for then I guess you are one up on those who don't. If you found it to be trivial, great, next time spare me your sarcasm and move on.

ICBM = It Can't Be Mine.

Intense Concentrated Bowel Movement!

No problem. :D I shouldn't have responded so harsh.

:D Sy ain't gunna be writin' any new policies on Fountains calling them a piece of chit. :D :D :D :D DOH!

I Can Beat MostotherboatsanydayIwantto. :D

:rolleyes:

It actually stood for Inter COSTAL ballistic Missle

The boat anyway did and only offered in red with camel interior

This was the one boat (33 or 40 ft) that really stuck out in my mind that I wanted so bad
Saw one at RPM in Summers point years ago with a blown upper half of one engine and the owner gave no $hit about for sale for 30 grand on a new myco color matched

Some peoples trash can be other peoples treasure,
THat was one sharp ass ride
That is the one boat that will always be a legend

Screamon Demon is absoulutly correct, InterContinental Boating Machine

Dave and demon are correct it was intercontinental boating machine and if memory serves me they where all red hulled 12 meters

33 ft = 10 meter
40 ft = 12 meter

Both had ICBM packages offered
All red only
Gold stripe with ICBM cut out of the graphic toward the stern
Black plexi windshield OR red color matched fairing
Optional Arch
twin mags was the smallest power you could get

was a nice boat, but other than the colors ect there was not any real difference over the stock lightening (called the 10 meter at the time)

The 33 is a 35 with no swim platform.
ICBM stood for Inter Continental Boating Machine and was immediately nicknamed
Inter Coastal Ballistic Missile. They were red with silver or gold stripes outside and camel or light gray interior. Look in this months Hot Boat at the Lotto Shootout and you can see one in original outside appearance, it still has the ICBM on its side

US1 FOUNTAIN I agree with you

Life begins at 100mph

I really liked mine and I should have kept itI

It was a lot of fun! :D

The sail boat guys hated them things for some reason :eek: :eek:

Kurt

Those sail boat guy's hate any boat with more than 5 HP. ;)

I hate sailboats personally
Always jibing right infront of you and yes you have to give them the right of way blah blah blah
I want to go somewhere I want to go
Not take 7 hrs to sail back and forth tacking back and forth to go 15 miles
Hell I want to be there in 30 seconds with twins screaming and shorelines stop dead in their tracks to listen to the sweet sound of BBChevy's!!!

BD, should have kept it dude -- a legend of a boat
And yes the 33 10 meter is the 35 with no integrated swim platform
33-35 lightening/10 meter/executioner has and always will be one of the most bad ass boats ever created from any manufacturer.
It has its place in the offshore category as a legend.
Now anyone want to trade an ICBM for a 30' baja???????
please?

I love sailboats -- particularly when they're in a regatta. They make nice serpentine cones... :eek:

Sean :)

Gee I thinking of removing ICBM off Old Red
but after seeing all these post I may leave it a few more years. Sale boats suck :D

And not only that......but they are always jamming everything up around the bridges.....damn water hazards if you ask me..... :eek: :eek: :p :D :D
