there were two built. the first had lots of problems and was last seen in dry storage at some marina waiting to be scraped from the look of it. number 2 was better built and was not used as a test bed like the first one.

I'm a Fountain fan and liked the idea of the 65' but never really liked the look. I reckon it was one of those things that gets you saying "it's ahead of its time" and now looking back, it's the exact opposite, she looks very dated. (Just my opinion) The molds were destroyed in a storm. Different class of speed but I'd prefer a Sea Ray or Sunseeker Predator. Up the stakes a little bit and buy a Pershing.
This old ad is probably hull number one, price certainly came down. (299k) Apparently with all the extra work in design and messing around, hull number one is 4,000lbs heavier. Ouch!
