Fountain Powerboats

I know that Mr. Fountain is a very busy man and may or may not have the time to read this but I just wanted to tell him how much I like my Fountain boat!

I live on a small lake is south Georgia so I am restricted to the size of boat that I can have. I always dreamed of owning a 27' Fever, well this past June I purchased a 1996 27' Fountain Fever with the 500 hp engine. Now we drag race cars so I understand engines and knew the hp motor was the motor to have in a boat.

Anyway to make a long story short, nobody could understand why I wanted to purchase a Fountain and only a Fountain, they said why don't you buy a Baja or Velocity? I said to them don't you ever watch the boat racing on television? Don't you always see a Fountain powerboat out in front no matter what class? Now I know nothing about boat racing, how to set up a boat, or how to get the most performance out of my boat by trimming the boat properly and so on.

The cove in where I live in is full of Baja boats. There are two guys with the 24' H2X with the optional 502 MPI motors, and a good friend of mine just bought an 2003 29' Baja outlaw with the twin 496 mags. Me being the only Fountain on the lake you can't imagine the tension here towards me. I thought to myself "DON'T FAIL ME NOW LITTLE FOUNTAIN!!!" Sure enough the 24' Baja's were NO match for my Fountain! I easily outran them and they went home a little unhappy!

Now here is the best part of this story and I can only hope that Mr. Fountain reads this!!! Now remember the brand new 29' Baja Outlaw I mentioned earlier? Now to be perfectly honest I did not think that my single engine 27' boat would hold a candle to his brand new 29' with dual engines. One Sunday afternoon I took my wife and two friends on a afternoon cruise around the lake. Now we had four grown adults with a full tank of gas. Sure enough as fate would have it I looked back and here comes the 29' Outlaw ! My friend was waving him on setting up a race, I thought to myself man we are going to be embarrassed!!!! Now he was by himself with two small children in the boat. I was going about 38-40 MPH when all of sudden I heard him shower down and go flying past us. Now the water was rough because of the Labor Day weekend. I hammered down my Fountain and started trying to trim the boat out and work the tabs which I have no experience with by the way, and suddenly he started slowing down and we were catching him at a very fast pace. Now by the time that we accelerated he was a good 500 feet ahead of us. As we were approaching him on the left side my friend said "@#$%" we are going to pass him! I thought that he was laying back and was going to pass us back. I could tell that when we passed by him he sort of had this look of disbelief!!! Anyway we flat out OUT RAN him!!!!!

Needless to say this was one of the greatest days of my life!!! I proved to all those other people out there who doubted Fountain, just what Fountain stands for and is all about. Which is quality through and through, unmatched speed and comfort, and unbelievable resale value.

I will forever own a Fountain Powerboat, bar none!!! I just wanted to tell Mr. Fountain personally how much I enjoy my Fountain.
