I need some help finding info about the Xynetix Fountain. Anything about the boat or company would be great. Even how to spell it correctly.

Thanks

Znetix sponsored several boats in several series if I remember correctly. The owner of Znetix went to jail for fraud I think.

Here are a few pictures.

Ron

Phantom is right. The company raised many problems when running in the Unlimited Hydro races a few yearssss ago.

Contact Boatkitten, she should be able to help.

The V is now Rich Troppoli's. Znetix ended up being a scam as I was told. The boat was origanally rigged by Supercat rigging/ Gary Stray. It had alot of re rigging done by the late Doug Lewis when Rich got it.

Ron,
The boat went from Znetix and was renamed Shockwave by Rich and currently maintains the honor of the Rio Roses name (still owned by Rich). Hope this helps.

Just for the record..... Troppoli had nothing to do with the boat while it was racing under the Znetix name.

He purchased the boat afterwards. I believe that he didn't know anything about the Znetix dealings till after the deal was done...
