My father through my life has had many boats different makes of boats but once he purchased his 33 executioner in the 80's he was hooked. After reading about fountain boats and than going on to visit the factory in North Carolina, he and his friend purchased matching executioners. A couple years later he purchased a red 40' ICBM that was a head turner. I have always had little boats since I was 16 and than at 23 wanted to step into something
larger. My father and I went and purchased a 35' lightning classic that was perfect and again a head turner. My father than wanted to go bigger, a year later we traded up to a 42'. I have not had much experience in big seas until the fountains because I never had a boat that could take them. Last year I took my boat from Old Saybrook, CT to Toms River, NJ which was a respectable trip for any boater. I have never felt unsafe in any conditions or in any seas with either of my fountains. My father has always known through experience that fountain built the best performance boats in the industry and that has led him to be a 5 time repeat customer (the fifth boat is a 29' sport fish used down south).
