Now that is a big Fountain
 

Passed this over the weekend on the way to Ginnie springs. I bet this beast can be a lot of fun out in the ocean.

A stepped hull on a big ass cruiser just doesnt look right, LOL

Is that the crazy one with blower motors?

No clue as I was just driving by on i-275 and it was headed north. We were near Ocala.

Those drives look beefy though.

From the looks of things a 48' express cruiser with Arnesons drives.....

i saw that boat in NJ a couple years ago. its massive!!!

Wonder if they ship it back and forth for the seasons.

Needs some toilet bowl cleaner.

not sure. saw it at a marina on the north shore of NJ when i was in Toms river looking at a boat. it was just as dirty when i saw it back then lol

I'll have to keep an eye out for that sucker this coming October, WOW.

I could have sworn that I passed that rig on 264 near Greenville NC Saturday afternoon.

That ocala shot was about 8pm on Fri so I am sure they had to stop. That could be 100% the boat you saw.

that looks just like one that was for sale at the Sarasota Boat Show a couple weeks ago. it sank part way and had three brand new Cummins put in it, if its the same one from the show which looks close to it

I was speculating that it may have been headed to the factory, but having just come from the factory, there is not much going on there on than a graveyard of molds

arent they building baja's there now?

Nice boat! Are friends use to have one !

Don't know for sure. The employee parking lot was full of molds, and abit overgrown with grass.

Hoping to close on one next week myself!

Nice, they are monster boats!:D

you thinking of the 47' excaliber w/ big whipple motors and arnesons?that boats up here in Mass,for sale too

Friend of ours has the sister to that,,3 yanmar's and arnesons,throws a hell of a rooster tail.

Saw one last year that was for sale out here in Huntington Beach. Exact same setup with Yanmars and Arnesons. Wanted it REAL bad, but the $$$ was just too high.

Not only is the Fountain long, but really tall as well.

There is one around my neck of the woods with triple 700 Mercs and Arnesons, reported top speed is 90+.

I disagree.

ICEDPPL, you can be quite humorous there.

This is the 48 with trip 700's. Moves out for a big boat.

That's hauling the mail for that beast.

Are you sure that's not one of the two 65' Super Cruisers that Reggie built before giving up on the concept?

That looks like the fountain for the introduction of the TV show Married With Children.

I looked at 48 Express with the Yanmars and surface drives also, but Yanmars didn't have a good rep service wise at LOTO, and Fountain was not in business so I was worried about parts.
They are one hell of an express cruiser though for sure! Nice rigs, pretty rare I think.

Running with a 47 Fountain
 

Here's a 47 Fountain with triple Arnesons:

Bigger AND Faster is always better
 

Here's a fast beast.... 140ft length + 28ft beam + 20,600HP (2 Paxman Deisels and 2 Lycoming gas turbines, triple water jets) = $30M => 74MPH

Thats because it was a show based in Chicago and thats the Buckingham fountain downtown. You gotta get out more often buddy :cool-smiley-027:

Like he said... going fast that thing will melt a credit card!!

Very true about the show being in Chicago. I hardly ever go out to Chicago. I do enjoy going to Chicago when I get the chance.
