That looks like Frank Kerbeck's (New Jersey car dealer and performance boater) old boat. That is a nice boat (if it is clean), and handled well in the ocean at 80+ mph.

Is that a Bill Farmer hull? Dash looks nothing like the Hawks. I'm corn-fused.

I am not sure but I think it might be one of Reggie Fountains 1st boats, he started with a hull form sombody else.

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.

Too Stroked

Correct. The original Fountains were not stepped. One of the biggest visible changes Reggie made to the early hulls was the now famous "beak."

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.
