Yes they did! They were Kilo speed setters too. Tres Martin was on that team. I have a big poster of INXS from back then.

One good thing I can say about the fountain is they run good as long as you're on top of it. If you're not running hard/fast they'll beat ya up pretty good. I learned this after countless hours on a 42 with tripples.



i think i know that boat :cool: :cool:

I thought they cut the canopy off that boat back in 2001, rerigged it as a pleasure boat for someone that use to post here on OSO? However something in the back of my mind tell's me there were 2 versions of this boat. One was the #7 and the other was #1. Anyone know????

My 29 Fever was a dry boat for it's size...much drier than the 36 Concept I replaced it with. WOW That 36 Concept was a wet freakin boat...ask BigMike on here...we were always wet on that thing. My 38TE Fountain is extremely dry...over a year now and never been wet on it.

The 42's and 47's are the only pleasure boats that ride good for their size. In big water you cant go slow unless you want tot take a bath. Reggie spends most of his money on racing and R&D, and thats why the hulls are so good. Now quality on the other hand......:(

Yep ... TIGER!

Re: Why do Fountains ride so good...
 
After the guy got rid of the Apache he bought a 36 Nor-Tech from FASTBOATS.com but his wife didn't like it and both times he went out in it he had problems so he traded the cat into Hideaway Marina on the Tiger.

A buddy of ours had traded that Tiger into Hideaway Marina on American Muscle. We spent many good days on it:drink:

Now all he needs to do now is put the right bunks underneath it. :eek: :D

They ride real good so I'm surprised he didn't get a Fountain! :rolleyes:

FeverMike 12-10-2006 03:58 PM

Re: Why do Fountains ride so good...
 
They are going to ruin the hull on that 42 Tiger if they do not properly support it. GEESH I can not believe they are doing this to there boat!
