Before it became Yardarm I believe Doug Popma and Haylett had a bunch of wins in it when it was the Great Lakes Caster (Fountain) boat. I don't know if Haylett and Popma were together all the time in that boat.

Oh and I'd have to said Haylett's Fountain, it had a ton of wins!!!

And I know Popma had a bunch of wins in your old A-boat Great lakes Caster (Wave Hippie) And your still adding to it!!!

Thanks! I heard they won a National Championship but I never heard how many races they won, I'd love to know!! It is a fun boat with a cool history.

I knew there were a bunch!! 52 wins is AWESOME!!! The most impressive thing to me about Jeff and his fountain is that he redid the bottom of it and added steps!!! Remember that is a 33ft Fountain (aka 10meter) they never had steps from the factory!! Best part is that it worked and worked well!!!

That is very cool in my book!!
