Isn't that always the case Randy?

How's your Fountain doing? We really wanted to make a trip to the Potomac this year, but just didn't happen. We'll definitely hook up at Gilligan's soon enough.

Fountains doing well, no problems. I thought of you this past weekend. My wife and I were talking about a 38 SC Fountain. Just not sure I am ready to go that route yet.

Going slow sucks!

But it's great when you reach your destination.

I've heard very poor feedback on Fountain Cruisers. Based on my research, Fountain go-fast boats are great but the cruisers have quite a few build quality issues.

I was sold on a 38 EC, until some friends convinced me otherwise and lead me to a Formula. While my Formula has it's share of small problems, it seems they are minor in comparison.

But I wouldn't give up your Fountain! I still remember like it was yesterday, taking a ride in your 38 hitting 113mph!
