...Yes, the older Mercury cowling dates things as well. Can't see the nose of this first Fountain either, in this photo, which DID NOT have the later tooled/added Fountain pointy nose. The first few hull & decks were supplied to Reggie, as-is, directly out of Bill Farmers Sarasota Florida 31 Excalibur molds, & then rigged up north by Reggie as Fountain & Garbrechts Boat Company boats...Quote:
