Question: Biggest Fountain?
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.
[still shaking my head...]

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)

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.

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.
