I just checked out the Fountain Speedboats website - http://www.fountainpowerboats.com/ - the boats appear to be very cool. However, the tag line on the page says "Take the lead and hold it in the world's fastest, safest, best handling boats."

hehehehehehe

and it looks like Bush Sr owns one as well...

Looks like the user went over his/her limit with the pictures. I found them here at another site. Just have to scroll down to about the middle of the page.

I shortened the url because it was crazy long.

Hello, I googled into your archives, thought I'd answer this, if you hadn't solved it out yet.

"Cast iron fans: I'm having a problem keeping the bottom of my Lodge seasoned. The heat seems to take the cure off it. After noticing just a teensy bit of surface rust on the bottom, I re-season the outside (inside has a nice solid black cure going right now) using heavier canola oil this morning and ended up with this nifty gloss coat, but I'm worried that the next time I use it the cure'll come off again. Is this normal? Any tips?

Lodge's instructions for seasoning are not the best way, use the highest temp your oven will go to (before you get to 'broil'), and always season with crisco vegetable shortening. That should give you a good base seasoning, and rub some crisco on the whole pan every so often, while it's still warm.

Good luck!

Fountain Powerboats come from Washington, NC very close to my hometown, Greenville, NC. Joshua's brother lives in Washington.

My parents know Reggie Fountain. The man is a maniac. He is always running his boats up and down the Potomac River, usually recklessly and at higher speeds than he should. I like his boats and I understand that they are built for high speed but he drives them like he owns the river with no regard for the other boats out there.
