Hi, guys - I was looking though some posts on Twitter and some guy direct-messaged me about his "65' Fountain w/ twin turbo caterpillars"...I won't even state the HP he mentioned...



Now, I don't know Fountains that well, but has Reggie EVER made a boat that big? Or maybe a one-off model or something in combination with another manufacturer? Supposedly this is a cruiser of some type - I would certainly call any BS - but then I'd like to be absolutely sure about it.

Fountain did make at least 2 65 footers 4-5 years ago......they are "cross-breed" cruiser types that supposedly would run near 60mph. I'm not sure they ever made anymore though. (I remember seing pics of 2 of them side by side)

Yep,,,and they actually did run 60 + !!!!!

Yes they did make a 65 foot cruiser, I think 10 were built. I asked reggie about it years back at the NY boat show and he said he lost a ton of money building that boat.

65 Super Cruiser! Awsome boat. We all need one of those. I do think they only built two of them though. National Marine had one back in the day I think.

At the very end of the Racing Heritage Part 1 video there is a short segment about the 65 Fountain. It's short but at least you get to see it running for a few seconds.

The above link may not work....the video is under the media section on the Fountain Powerboats website. It is called Racing Heritage Part 1.

Based on pictures he sent me, I think he's BS'n. Even if one of them does have a big Fountain logo on the [glass cockpit door?] ....

Thanks, Guys.

I agree, I think they only made two. They did have a big Fountain logo on the glass door???
