And show off they did. As former Powerboat magazine editors long ago, we saw our share of Fountain offerings. They always were fast on supplied power and handled well. But when it came to fit and finish, there was room for improvement. The power-drop-out bolsters in the deep cockpit were ergonomically perfect and sturdy.
SeaDek step pads were set in all the right places for access and entry into the deep cockpit—and to keep eager passengers from treading all over the neatly tailored upholstery.
Forward, the port dash features a large glove box, volt receptacle, handhold, and toggle switch for the adjustable seat bottom. To starboard at the helm, the dash sported a set of Livorsi Monster Series gauges with chrome bezel accents. The Livorsi engine controls are mounted to the left of the steering wheels, and just above, and within easy reach, are the rocker switches for drives, tabs, helm seat, and engine hatches.
As I stood there in the bolster, getting ready to take the wheel, I imagined I was Reggie Fountain 27 years ago dominating the fleet in New Orleans. Subscribe Advertise Newsletter Contact Us.
