HULL DESIGN
With the introduction of our Super Ventilated Positive Lift running surface there isn’t a V-bottom pleasure boat on the water that can keep pace with a Fountain. Competitors have tried to copy our designs, but failed because they lack the racing know-how and years of experience and dedication to R&D to make it work.

The speedometer doesn’t lie. Across the board, our boats are 10 to 20 percent faster with better handling and a smoother, safer ride than rivals. The deadrise and longitudinal angles of the running surface must be perfectly matched to the steps to create the proper angle of attack and to help aerate the bottom.

Additionally, Fountain pioneered the notched transom and pad keel, which allows elevated drive heights without sacrificing control, low-end torque or midrange pulling power. Our notched transom design also provides more trim leverage, which allows you to dial in the optimum ride at any given speed for maximum efficiency and comfort.

At Fountain, we spend painstaking hours fine-tuning the weight placement of all our boats for optimum performance. A well designed, properly balanced hull requires less horsepower to propel it through the water and, whether you’re running 35 or 95 mph, there’s less demand on the drivetrain, which is one reason why maintenance is lower in a Fountain.

Finally, a properly setup boat distributes the G-forces where they can be handled best, placing less strain on any specific area of the boat and, subsequently, the occupants inside. Ask anyone, driving a Fountain is a positively uplifting experience.

CONSTRUCTION
We use only the finest materials and begin our production process with a highly polished mold which we researched, developed and built to meet exact tolerances. All of our boats are hand laid with the finest bi-, tri-, and quad-directional fiberglass, Interplastic vinyl ester resins and high density foam core. Interplastic vinyl ester resins is stronger, less likely to delaminate, more flexible and resists blistering better than polyester resins. Foam core, which is used extensively in the aerospace industry, is light weight, doesn’t absorb water and is very strong when used sectionally in high stress areas.

Additionally, we are one of the few boat builders that takes the time to bond the deck and hull together with fiberglass as part of our six-step bonding process to create a unitized construction that is more durable and less likely to flex and break. Fountain’s lamination schedules and techniques have been fine-tuned using the experience we’ve gained from building both race and pleasure boats for over 20 years.

Pantera Boats builds high performance Offshore boats for pleasure or racing. The Tunnelvision 28′ was the Southeast B-class champion in 1992 and finished # 2 nationally that year. It was powered by a single Hawk Marine Power 800 HP with a # 4 Speedmaster drive. Tunnelvision was the only single engine B-Class race boat at the time and won a bunch of races that year; over all other twin engine boats in the class. We built it while located on Thunder Boat Row. Tunnelvision would run in the mid to upper 80s for speed. The boat was perfectly balanced. The motor was mounted on rails so it could be moved forward in rough water races.

A nice daysail off of Comox harbour in an “origami”-built steel 36 foot Swain off-shore sailboat.

You can build one of these boats quite easily, using Swain’s unique frameless techniques that produces a fantastically fair-looking bare hull in as little as one week of work. I have a 3-hour DVD showing the process of building my own hull. The technique is entirely well suited to amateur construction, is less complicated, and makes all other boatbuilding techniques for this size of boat practically obsolete.

Rough water boat race big wave jumping Pantera powerboats. Built and raced by the Pantera boat company since 1974. World famous powerboats for extreme offshore weather. Pleasure boats for customers are built to exact specifications and great for the boating enthusiast or as a poker run boat. This 28ft Pantera raceboat was powered by a single mercury racing 500hp. It’s an awesome rough water boat as the video shows it jumping big waves.
