Fountain is a great boat I am biased because I have one, but they are still great boats. But I think fountain has failed at times due to their marketing. They might be big in the race world but thats not going to account for the majority of your sales. For one look at the fountain merchandise available for trying to get parts from them a real pain.

Sure is going to be interesting to see ... you gotta love racing and all the comments on whats to come in the future

Is Mr. Fountain building anything anywhere as at April 6.2011 ??
Or is all this just hype??

A very good question.

To the best of my knowledge, nothing is under construction.

As for whether or not it's "hype," the story itself was straight reporting on the stated future plans of an industry notable. (To that end, there's a lot more about his stated plans in the latest issue of Powerboat.) If the catamaran materializes, I'll report it. If RF Powerboats never produces a single boat—I'll report that, too.

But what I think you're asking is if Mr. Fountain is announcing his plans to create hype for RF Powerboats. And at this point, I don't have an opinion on that. Without question, Mr. Fountain has always been "public" in his proclamations. Always.

Why would anyone want to build a catamaran anyway? The cat market has too much production and a little or small audience anyway. Skater, MTI, Mystic, Doug Wright, Spectre, Outerlimits, Motion, Nortech, Statement, Nordic, and the list goes on.

What ever happened with this?

they couldn't afford to buy a skater and splash it.
