Dave Goodman @ Tiger Fiberglass here in Marysville Mi did all the work on Jeff's boat bottom. Jeff's Fountain was raced originally as Parts Plus & it was just OK, after Dave worked his magic this boat rocked. I believe it is one of the winningest Fountain race boats & the boat to beat in B class.. If your ever @ Comerica ball park in Detroit, you can more of Dave's work as Dave Goodman made all the fiberglass tiger statues around the park.

I'd like some of those side vents and steps 502, is that possible?

I plan on getting some cut some time this summer. I will cut an extra set if you want them.

Exactly when was that?

I need to find a water jet operator around here to cut my vents for the hatch. But if I don't go that route I will definately like to have a set of those to replace my originals rookie. How much would a set cost?

Thanks tcwcar, is it Herr and Saco? I did an internet search and came up with them but thought maybe they only did production quantity runs.

I was waiting for someone to catch that! LOL

Is there still a market for non-stepped hull or has the market completely shifted to stepped hulls only???

With all the bad press with stepped hulls I would have thought non-stepped hulls would make a comeback. Perfect example was the papa dukes race team. Dominated for years in a old school carrera or similar then made the move to a stepped bottom and weren't nearly as competitive and even went for a swim in MI. Am I the only one who will give up a couple mph for better handling???
