Before anyone gets butt hurt I'm not comparing a fountain to a crappy mid-seventies ford, just making my point.

The ONLY differnce between the world record boat and any other winning fountain race boat from a stock fountain is the power and No Bathroom and dinete. (Kinda like a cig . No bathroom and no dinete ):

They all come from the same molds

I don't think that I'm wrong about this but I seriously doubt that hull was identical to production.... I would say there was plenty of blue printing done that is not on a production Fountain..... Actually I will pretty much day I'm positive about that... Could be wrong but I doubt I am

Nah I'm fine with what I have but there is still a lot of differences between that hull and a pleasure production hull... That goes for any builder ....
