@IntwatPapsmir Fountains are the fastest, best handling, most efficient boats on the water but go for a ride in one in big water and you'll wish you had stayed on the dock. Fountains are pad-bottom boats and they ride very rough. And from a purely quality standpoint, they are way behind Cigarette, Nor-Tech and Outerlimits. Reggie sacrificed materials quality for speed and handling.
Having said all that, he did great things for high performance boating and I wish him all the best in his new biz.
So who makes the best boat for the money? Fountain, Apache, Scarab, or any oyther boat you could name? Is there any difference? These cigarette boats really don't serve but one purpose to go fast, but you really can't fish with them or pull skis or really have enough room to have a party. They're basically junk. I think you would get a lot more use out of a Sea Ray 30' that you could pull a tube, ski, fish, and it would have enough room for people to move about.
@9878tubeyou Why do you go from Fountain vid to Fountain vid to Fountain vid and spout off the same moronic shit in every comments section... sometimes two comments stating the same thing? WE GET IT, moron: you wanna go fishin. Yee-haw. Go fishing. The rest of us who OWN THESE AMAZING BOATS consider YOU to be the dumbass for just sitting there in the water with a pole in your hand... and then there's the fishing rod, too.
I've owned every kind of boat there is. I worked on the water for 12 years. I have been on boats since I was 5 years old. I've lived on a yacht for the past 16 years.
Reggie is a legend, no doubt. Fountain has the best hull and rigging for any production boat. But, their deck design and construction process is too old. I surveyed an '02 and it had plywood. If you could take the Fountain hull, and marry it to modern deck design and manufacturing, then stop building spec... you'd have company for the times. Fountain needs a complete retooling.
There's no comparison between Fountain and any other V bottom mfg in Offshore racing. Fountain has dominated SuperV for the last 20 years. A Fountain hull won the Powerboat P1 Evolution class World Championship the last two years. How many WCs had Cigarette won? How many WCs has Outerlimits won?
Racers who want to win buy the boat that has the best chance to win and has shown its pedigree over the years; FOUNTAIN.
He engineered none of those designs. The plane wedge was designed by marlin marine in clyst st. Mary Exeter Devon UK as was the "stepped Transom" (moulded gill bracket).You want to talk to the master, Talk to Steve Curtis Of class 1 fame.
steeve curtis was a world champion on formula one off shore powerboats a throttle man n his boat was powered by 2 lamborgini 4 L' petrol engines n a really nice bloke to talk to he was with an italian team also another Brit/italian collaboration with Fabio buzzy n the really great bearded British navigator forgoten his name now n together they won the cows race 2 years running on a MONOHULL with twin seatreak diesels 1600 HP 8L engines the race was west 100 miles a rest refuel n back again
Reggie is a legend,won more races then anyone dead or alive,imagine running over 100mph for hours back in the 70's.Raced all around the world, wealthy and still works everyday all day. When his boats are racing he's in a helicopter, talking with driver and throttleman, a true legend.I personally am against him buying Baja, but he knows something we don't, so we'll see in a couple of years something cutting edge from the man with a plan.
Reggie is a very nice guy, and one hell of a good boat maker. Me and Reggie III had some great times back in high school trying to jump the Fountain's Subarban and my Dodge Diesel around school in Kinston. My dad and I took several test rides in these boats and there is nothing like them.
i know we have a 42 foot fountain boat that was in the miami to key west last year and they said it was the ruffest water out there that they ever saw, then they said im suprised all the boats to off. then he said the fountains had the more chance of being in front not bcuz i speed bcuz v=bottom he knifes right threw the waves so fountains are better.
Dick Lazzara, Gene Weeks and I flew in early evening, it was raining, we get to Fountain about 6PM, rain is stopping.
Reggie gives us a 45 minute nonstop awesome sales pitch, and then asks want to go for a ride? Yes we say.
Now it is about 7:45 PM and Reggie is blasting up and down the river, driving and throttle, and a Radar Gun in his left hand. he starts hitting the radar gun we are doing 100mph!, radar gun works, Reggie grins WoW! I love Reggie, he is a legend in his own lifetime.
yeah.. drive and ride on both of 'em then try to tell me that.. fountains are cheap mass produced pos, they don't come close to the fit, finish and ride of the cigarettes.. you don't really believe that you get the same hull as the race boats do you?.. not even close
yeah,i do cause i have owned 4 of them. rode in a few cigarettes. dash lay out is gay, they are slow pigs. never had a problem with any of my fountains hulls. solid wave pounding v-hull dominatin boats. cigs suck
no that's a real toupe he use's gear lube!

Looks like a polyester blend to me -- in order to minimize hydrodynamic drag while permitting a comfortable landing in rough water.
