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.
