Here are the pics of the finished 38' Fountain. The boat is complete w/ TMP850's, TMP XR drives, A/C and Generator, custom hatch and race fairing. All work was done at TMP. Paint by Ratical Graphics.

What do those engines go for $$?

Re: 38 Fountain Project pics
 

I am guessing those pictures are NOT in order :D:D

Looks UNREAL!!! Keep us posted on the performance of your motors and boat.

105-110mph?

Re: 38 Fountain Project pics
 

Very nice!

Re: 38 Fountain Project pics
 

Nice job!!!

Re: 38 Fountain Project pics
 

totalmp,
Very nice! I like the new CRT wheel. Do you like the positioning of the buttons on the new wheel as opposed to the old one?

Re: 38 Fountain Project pics
 

Its faster now, and running awesome. I have pics of this boat running this weekend at the Royal Purple PR, but my computer is being fixed, and I'm on the other one. One sweet ride. Jeff

Re: 38 Fountain Project pics
 

Nice looking. Graphics looks familiar.

Re: 38 Fountain Project pics
 

105-110?? "It's faster now"??? HOLD ON!! I'm not so sure about that?? Very nice Fountain,very fast v-bottom, BUT...... I was in the 36Spectre that was running with the Fountain, 2-38 Hustler slingshots, and (43Nor-Tech) "X-cess wetness" from Jeagers to Mandeville,running with the causeway and from my vantage point and 2 GPS's on board the fountain ran out of wind between 95-100.Very fast v-bottom,awesome looking boat.....but definitely nowhere near 105-110mph,muchless any faster.......

Re: 38 Fountain Project pics
 

That was the first hard run with the new boat, we are still dialing it in. The engines were very rich. Come find us in a few weeks, the boat will absolutely be well over 105. Your boat ran great. Besides, this is our cabin cruiser, if you want to go fast, get on side of Cyclone. Congrats for your run at False river.

Steve

Re: 38 Fountain Project pics
 

Total: Cabin cruiser!! Nice job and good article in PB on your shop.

Re: 38 Fountain Project pics
 

Thanks for the compliment, but as far as Cyclone is concerned......From what I hear, It is pretty difficult for any of the cats in our area to get a side by side chance with him.I don't know about anybody else here, but all I have seen out of Cyclone was it parked at Jeager's, pics in Extreme Boats Magazine, and a pic of a 164MPH GPS on OSO. I'm starting to wonder if the pic of the GPS was taken by Copeland in one of his Skaters at 3/4 throttle.
At the False River Radar Run there were only two of us there. "Hang Em Out To Dry"-36 Spectre and "Hot Pursuit"-30 Shadow Cat. We had plenty of room for more entries in the cat class, but when you enter these events, there is one thing that is inevitable........ the truth about the speed of your boat is revealed........... There are quite a few cats in our area. We were just shocked to see only two enter this event.

Re: 38 Fountain Project pics
 

What were the speed trap mph on those two cats RJA....

Re: 38 Fountain Project pics
 

You could've pulled on side when they were making 150 MPH passes in front of Jaeger's Saturday. Or just give us a call and we'll set it up. We will be in Lake Havasu for two weeks, and will be back after the 4th. I'm sure we'll see you out there.
We'll be more than happy to take you for a ride. Bring your GPS.

Steve

Re: 38 Fountain Project pics
 

RJAINLA, you know how to make friends real fast, especially with 11 posts. We don't like being called liars, the article and speeds in Extreme Boat mag was true, and you guys (meaning the other cats) have had numerous opportunities out there on the lake to prove themselves, but thats hard I guess when your motors don't stay together after every run. The Shadow cat (HOT Pursuit) did 117 at False River, if that was the case I would have brought the Fountain. :rolleyes: I'll tell you what, Money talks and B.S. walks, and I've got 5k that says Cyclone smokes ya, so what do you say. Don't talk big behind that screen, open your wallet up, instead of your mouth, give me a call after 7AM tomorrow, so I can set it up, 1-228-216-0900. Jeff Jassby

Re: 38 Fountain Project pics
 

WOW, That is a sweet boat. If you dont mind me asking how much do you have in that boat? Like MSRP. And if you dont want to post the info pm it to me.
Thanks Bobby

Re: 38 Fountain Project pics
 

TMP, the fountain looks awesome, next time I am in LA. I would like a ride in your cabin cruiser and your speed boat!!!!!!!!! Will you guys be going to Texhoma July 30th???

Re: 38 Fountain Project pics
 

Nice job guys the boat is beautiful.

Re: 38 Fountain Project pics
 

JASSMAN,
First off, let me set the record straight here. I do not believe that in any part of my post, the word LIAR was used,nor were you JASSMAN or TMP accused as saying anything false. Also,this was never an issue of anyone smoking Cyclone.In my post,No one here claimed to be faster.I stated that it is hard to ever get on the side of him to see how fast it is.ofcoarse he would be faster. If you read back in my post. My point was.... there are quite a few cats in our area.We were just shocked to see only two cats enter the Radar Run. Cyclone is somewhat of a local cat.It would of been nice to see it run 164 there.
Your comment about someones motors not staying together.Who are you referring to? You lost me on that one. Sorry if anyone was offended here.I did not post on here to make enemies.

Re: 38 Fountain Project pics
 

For some reason I was thinking that boat ran way faster than that. Did he dial back the power or was he taking it easy that day? Also heard there was a triple engine Fountain there that cracked triple digits.

Re: 38 Fountain Project pics
 

RJAINLA I was one of the Hustlers running with Jeff and we where cruising at 70mph all the way across causeway to Mariner's Village.Any faster my crew complained about the wind messing with there beer drinking.I don't remember seeing anybody blow by us. Yall must of been in front us? I could not tell but one boat that was in front of us looked like a diesel it was so rich :eek:That must of been yall Steve.

The other 388 Hustler is a triple 525 sc boat and I would figure it would be up close to those speeds.

After Mariner's Village I lost a prop blade so it was a slow ride back to the Prop Stop for the wet T shirt contest :D

Re: 38 Fountain Project pics
 

Why don't you reread your own post, or let me spell it out for you. Your sarcasm is quite evident, starting...From what I hear, It is pretty difficult and so on all the way up to the wonder if the pic was taken by Copeland in one of his Skaters at 3/4 throttle.... and then the truth about your boats speed is revealed........ I can read between the lines, why back off now. You think cause you go to an event, (False River) which is not an area you want to be going 150mph plus, (safety should always be your first priority) and you and Keith (Hot Pursuit) are the only Cat's there, did you ever think that David might have been out of town, as well as Keith was explained to in the Extreme boat mag thread, that we don't feel safe at that location and would rather be out in the open in the lake where there is alot more room. We've been out in the lake 4 weeks in a row, and have posted that, so where have you been. Bottom line, boating is suppose to be fun, for everyone, (not just the fastest or the one's who think they are the fastest, or the one's who use to be the fastest), so put your testosterone away, your boat is awesome, and I know runs great, be happy for what it is, and let us be happy for what we have achieved, its called R&D, not only for Nortech and what their boats will achieve with certain power, but also for us, and what we have learned about our motors, and how to make them better and more effiecient for our customers, we've always helped everyone out, and will continue to do so, and have never started an argument, but I will defend what we have done with honesty and integrity, thats how the shop is run, it just would be refreshing if everyone could get along, and get off this clicky idle *hit chat and move on.

Re: 38 Fountain Project pics
 

Rob,

That was us. We had a metal shaving get stuck in one of the needle and seats. We cleaned it out at Mariner's village, and ran the rest of the day. Best speed Saturday was just over 100 w/ 13 people in the boat. Probably not the best idea, but you know how it goes. The next TMP boat will be EFI as well.
This boat is for sale, as a #6 boat with quad rotors is in our future. That way we can stop taking **** from all the cat guys. Anyone interested can give us a call.
By the way, I've got a nice set of whipples sitting at the shop with your name on them.

Steve

Re: 38 Fountain Project pics
 

The new style?? That would probably make My Hustler go just over the 100 mark :D

I figure y'all might go with a cat ,Its just hard to compare a cat to a v bottom in efficiency with the speed difference . I would not mine having a cat but the girls like the amenities and bed space. They don't like going down below when its hot or cant flush a toilet. :D


Steve yall going to Emerald Coast poker run in August??


Rob

Re: 38 Fountain Project pics
 

Good 'ole Miss...Home of Brett Farve

you guys have any clear water down there? Can you see the bottom when shallow

Re: 38 Fountain Project pics
 

Yes, the new style. I agree, we party too much for a cat. We like the A/C and Gen also. We should also be ordering a 43' Cat w/ big EFI power real soon.

Steve

Re: 38 Fountain Project pics
 

so what was the deal with pete tafaro's eliminator running past cyclone saturday??? not a pot stir , just a ?

Re: 38 Fountain Project pics
 

I can guarantee that never happened.

Re: 38 Fountain Project pics
 

Actually the run was in Louisiana and no we don't have much in the way of clear water. :D

Re: 38 Fountain Project pics
 

that's not what ron sporal said , he witnessed from behind in pizza joes 42 fountain until cyclone broke ,also it was pete and his mom in the eliminator that was ahead of cyclone. small town :rolleyes:

Re: 38 Fountain Project pics
 

eric you saw all that from shore?? I had the pleasure of riding in cyclone friday evening, & let me tell you an eliminator that runs in the 120's poses no threat to cyclone. I personally saw 140 on both gps's in a very brief run from
the twin span to the rigolets. let me tell you the boats acceleration is stagering!! acording to the scanner we never exceded 75% throttle. pete has a very nice boat that runs good. how come all the trash we here doesn't come from the people that own the boat, like pete,richie or keith but instead comes from people like you who don't own a boat that runs. do us all a favor & limit your comments to first hand experience & let the owners of these boats speak for themselves.

Re: 38 Fountain Project pics
 

Vette 131, I think you speak for most on the board with that statement.

Re: 38 Fountain Project pics
 

pitrie , i saw you at mariners village, as far as my boat , yes , it is on dollies undergoing a restoration , some people restore old cars, i'm doing a original 72 aronow hull . precision is building me a real nice motor , drive is ready and so is alot of other parts, but i know what i was told and have no reason to belive otherwise. all this bs that has gone on now for weeks for a pic of a gps that said 164mph but no 1 has seen it go that fast. i can easilly get a radar gun and i am willing to put my money where my mouth is. would you??

Re: 38 Fountain Project pics
 

and you worked for him. steve , did i or did i not walk up to u and act like a gentleman?? did i criticise?? you were asking me " wheres your boy richie?" did i ask u "wheres your boy cyclone?" no. i'd belive pizza joe anyday.
