Reggie Raft Number 1

[Bad Idea Baja]

So, this boat comes with a $300k cash rebate?

[GENERAL LEE]

Maybe 99,000 if you have a reason to buy it. I mean it's worth 30ish otherwise...

ONLY, if it includes his original chain:

The very first Fountain & Garbrecht 10 Meter boats did not have beaks. They were as-is, directly out of the Excalibur 31 molds and were painted simularly to this boat. This boat might be the first Fountain-only boat. Maybe.

A pre-beak fountain...

There ya go. A beakless Fountain, lol. The hull AND the deck were as they came out of the Excaliber molds. Chris Craft private labeled them too, in 1980, 1981 and 1982. They were called Chris Craft Excaliburs. They also were the same deck.

It does....

[elvisali]

They are just marketing it wrong..., if they do someting like this....

Want to own a piece of history?

Want to be able to tell someone you are legitimatly #1?

Want to impress friends and neighbors through a combination of design innovation and raw horsepower......

From the man who invented step bottoms, fiberglass, gauges that tell you RPM's and swim platforms, comes one of the boats that started it all........the 1981 Executioner!

So take advantage of this once in a lifetime oppurtunity, and buy a 30 year old boat for more then you would have paid for it 30 years ago brand new!

Buy it today.....or be disgusted with yourself tomorrow!



In all seriousness....at the right price, would be a fun toy. If you dont love fountains, maybe 35k? If someone loved Fountains and told me they spent 45k, wouldnt think it was a bad buy

It belongs at the Fountain factory in pristine condition and on display along with original photos of the plant, production area, workers etc

If there is a Fountain factory anymore.....

Agreed - this seems like a fitting resting place for it.... It is a piece of history.....

[htrdlncn]

With the market the way it is it they may need that boat as the new corporate office.

[straightpriority]

it was out back covered for years......

[mustang]

If it was out back for years and owned by Fountain I wonder if this boat was listed as an asset in the bankruptcy filing. Perhaps the asking price is being used to justify a value they have for it on the books. If it sells or not....it still can justify a book value. Just a thought.

[Big Time]

Boy or girl?

[phragle]

Like father like son...

[AIR TIME]

If that's hull number 1 and they want it for history, it need the old bolsters, interior and teak cabin doors

and motor cover I looked at two repo 10s back in 1990 one was 35,000 the other 45,000 they were a 87 and 88 or 89 but Iremember grey seats and grey motor colors not the design of the mid 90s like that one. those cabin doors rattled too. hope thats not water line could have stringer troubles if that hadthat much water sitting in it.

so the 88 29 and the 97 32 are the same hull length plus step on the new one cockpit space looks the same.
