Key West, FL November 19th, 2005 -As the thunder and crowds roll away from Key West, Fountain stands tall with two world championships and the top three rankings in the world for Super Vee during the 25th annual SBIP/APBA/UIM world championships.

The week was filled with adrenaline and horsepower as nearly 70 of the world's fastest offshore raceboats converged on Key West for a shot at the title of world champion. In the premier class of Super Vee, Fountain again proved that their domination is no accident with The Rodriguez Group, Wazzup II, and Rio Roses teams claiming the first, second, and third place rankings respectively. The Rodriguez Group of Michelle Karcenti and Serge Allegre are happy with their new 42' Fountain as it carried them to their third world championship in as many years, while Wazzup II and Rio Roses enjoy the performance of their tried and true 38' Fountains.

Interestingly enough, all of the top three boats in the world were at one time during the season driven by David Knight as the factory prepared boat #15. "Fountain is proud of the fact that we support our race teams to the point of providing them with proven designs and setups that consistently carry them to victory lane. This philosophy, coupled with our open-door approach to test and tune afford our teams access to the best resources in the world for dialing their boats in for race day. All of this knowledge and firepower makes it a very smart decision to race in a Fountain", said David Knight, Executive Vice President of Fountain. Congratulations are also in store for the Rio Roses Fountain factory team that captured the world championship with the new 46' race canopy and a pair of prototype Mercury 1200 horsepower engines exclusively provided to Fountain.

"This is an excellent example of how the pride and determination of the Fountain employees pays off for Fountain customers, both on and off the race course. The new hull designs Fountain tested this season will dramatically improve the designs of our everyday production boats, thus making everybody a winner. We will be offering a $25,000 contingency prize to the team who captures the 2006 SBIP National Championship for Fountain." said Reggie Fountain, Chairman and CEO. It looks like the stage is already set for an exciting season beginning in the spring.
