Reggie's first boats were built by Bill Farmer at Excalibur Marine (my old next door neighbor). the ones Bill built for him were not stepped bottom. I think he added a pad but other than that they were right out of the Excalibur molds. after a couple of years Reggie started building his own hulls. a while after that Bill sold Excalibur to Wellcraft and moved to NC with his wife. last I heard from Bill his health was failing but that was quite a few years back.

My mother lives about a mile from the Fountain factory in Washington, NC. A couple of years ago I stopped by the factory (I work for a Fountain dealer) to see what was new and Reggie had hull #1 out back prior to being restored to its original glory - teak floor and all.
