This is the best looking Fountain ever built in my opinion. I'm not a big Fountain fan, but the few of these I have seen, I liked. They remind me of a big Hydrostream V-King. If I remember correctly, Reggie had these built for water skiing. Anyone have any history on them?

I remember them for being dangerous to drive,,they had problems with too much bow lift so they had added a bladder in the bow to keep from a violent porpoise.. nice line tho..with today's technology I'm sure theirs a prop out their to make it a safer boat.

The ballast tank was for skiing. These little bad boys can't be too dangerous to drive... there seem to be many of them with hopped up power putting up big MPH numbers.

I always loved this boat since I first saw it. I wanted a BH edition and would drool over the brochures. I am very shocked that none of the Fountain guys are buying these up to make mini-me's like the cig guys. they look a whole lot like the new 42 poker run.

That looks like one of the brochure boats. I remember it very distinctly:wink:

Wouldn't life be great if we all had surplus money laying around just to buy what we want not necessarily what we need and the extra cost of insurance and registrations wouldn't even be a factor either........
