Great article as usual, but the nice launch video by Fountain Powerboats was a surprise. Not many manufacturers nowadays bother doing a launch video, which i.m.h.o. is a mistake.
Still got some classic '80s Fountain marketing videos laying around the house, and I do find this model to have a certain attractive nostalgia about it, but it certainly is no game-changer.

Odd video, not a lot of detail shots of the boat. Everything shot at a distance and mostly blurred behind the person talking. They need a detailed walkaround with lots of the money shots that we like (engine room, dash). Let's see that new and improved fit and finish up and close.
Good to see Reggie!

How are you supposed to get to the bow from the cockpit and vice versa?

I think it looks awesome but to those who disagree, I guess there’s just no pleasing some people….🙂

There has never been a wishy-washy moment for OSO members and their opinion on the Fountain brand from what I have seen here for the past 21+ years; either you like/love the Fountain brand or you don't like, never have liked, and never will like Fountain boats. We all have opinions......I like Fountain boats,
