At Fountain we compete for one reason: When We Race, You Win. Racing allows us to test our designs, innovations and lamination schedules in extreme conditions that can't be simulated any other way. Racing keys our nonstop Research & Development program.

Most importantly, racing proves our performance superiority, which helps you separate fact from fantasy while making your buying decision. For Fountain owners, offshore racing pays direct benefits. Unlike our rivals, we use the same hull designs and lamination schedules on our race, pleasure and fishing boats. We take our designs to the limit so you don't have to. Racing allows us to find the ragged edge... and then, with time, we move it. Competition was instrumental in the development of our Super Ventilated Positive Lift, pad keel, notch transom bottom design.

Racing has also helped us fine-tune our lamination schedules and to determine where we need added strength and where to look for weight savings. We've worked closely with companies like Owens Corning to develop state-of-the-art fiberglass lamination schedules that are stronger, faster and lighter than anything on the water. Competition has also helped us advance our technology regarding propeller selection, drive heights, seat construction and even dashboard layout. You can theorize on a computer, but there's no substitute for the lessons learned at 170+ mph offshore.
