To the Board of Directors
FOUNTAIN POWERBOAT INDUSTRIES, INC.
Washington, North Carolina


We  have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet  of
Fountain Powerboat Industries, Inc. as of March 31, 1995, and the
related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for  the
three  and  nine months then ended, in accordance with Statements
on  Standards  for Accounting and Review services issued  by  the
American   Institute  of  Certified  Public   Accountants.    All
information  included  in  these  financial  statements  is   the
representation   of   the   management  of   Fountain   Powerboat
Industries, Inc.

A  review  consists principally of inquiries of Company personnel
and  analytical  procedures applied to  financial  data.   It  is
substantially  less  in scope than an audit  in  accordance  with
generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which  is
the  expression of an opinion regarding the financial  statements
taken  as  a  whole.   Accordingly, we do  not  express  such  an
opinion.

Based   on   our  review,  we  are  not  aware  of  any  material
modifications  that should be made to the accompanying  financial
statements  in order for them to be in conformity with  generally
accepted accounting principles.

1.  Basis of Presentation.

      Although  these  statements  have  been  reviewed  by   our
independent auditors, they are unaudited.  The statements reflect
all adjustments, in management's opinion, that are necessary  to
present  fairly the Company's financial position and  results  of
its   operations  for  the  interim  periods  presented.    These
adjustments  are,  for  the most part,  of  a  normal,  recurring
nature.   It  is  suggested  that this unaudited  interim  period
financial  information be read in conjunction with the  Company's
audited  financial statements for the fiscal year ended June  30,
1994.



2.  Accounts receivable.

    As of March 31, 1995, accounts receivable were $2,353,230 net
of  the  allowance for bad debts of $12,869.  This represents  an
increase   of  $1,940,851  from  the  $412,379  in  net  accounts
receivable   recorded  at  June  30,  1994.   This  increase   in
receivables  is  entirely due to greater sales  volume.   Of  the
$2,353,230 balance at March 31, 1995, $2,031,933 has subsequently
been  collected as of May 1, 1995, and the remaining $321,297  is
believed to be fully collectible.



3.  Inventories.

     Inventories at March 31, 1995 and June 30, 1994 consisted of
the following:


                                     March 31,       June 30,
                                       1995            1994
                                     ---------      ---------- 
Parts and supplies.................$  2,651,509   $  1,607,872

                                   -------------  ------------
Total..............................$  3,130,259   $  3,496,950
                                   =============  =============

4.  Revenue Recognition.

     At  fiscal year-end June 30, 1994, the Company deferred  the
recognition  of revenues amounting to $1,100,000 (recorded  as  a
balance sheet liability) and the related cost of sales amounting
to  $850,000 (recorded as a balance sheet asset).  This  had  the
effect of reducing the prior year's gross margin on sales and net
income  after  tax by $250,000 ($0.08 per share).  At  March  31,
1995, the Company estimated the balances of deferred sales to  be
$155,000 and deferred cost of sales to be $131,000.  This had the
effect of increasing the current year's gross margin on sales and
net income after tax by $226,000 ($0.07 per share).


5.  Allowance and Qualifying Accounts.

     For  the  nine  months  ended March 31,  1995,  the  Company
adjusted its allowance and qualifying accounts as follows:

                   Balance at   Charged to              Balance
                   Beginning    Cost and    Additions   at End
                   of Period    Expense    (Deductions) of Period
                   _________    _________   __________  _________
Allowance for

        claims       315,000      305,233    (305,233)    315,000

Allowance for
  inventory
        values        50,000        -0-         -0-        50,000

                   ----------   ----------  ----------  ---------
Total              $ 645,000    $ 305,233   $(305,233)  $ 645,000
                   ==========   ==========  ==========  =========

     In  management's opinion, the balances of the allowance  and
qualifying  accounts are adequate to provide for  all  reasonably
anticipated future losses.

6.  Commitments and Contingencies.

     The  Company  makes  available through  third-party  finance
companies floor plan financing for many of its dealers.  Sales to
participating  dealers  are approved by  the  respective  finance
companies.   If  a  participating dealer  does  not  satisfy  its
obligations  under the floor plan financing agreement  in  effect
with   its   commercial  lender(s)  and  boats  are  subsequently
repossessed  by  the lender(s), then under certain  circumstances
the  Company may be required to repurchase the repossessed  boats
if it has executed a repurchase agreement with the lender(s).  At
March  31, 1995, the Company had a total contingent liability  to
repurchase  boats  in  the  event  of  dealer  defaults  and   if
repossessed  by the commercial lenders amounting to approximately
$11,200,000.   The  Company  has  reserved  for  the   reasonably
anticipated  future losses it might incur upon  the  repossession
and  repurchase of boats from commercial lenders.  At  March  31,
1995, the allowance for losses on boat repurchases was $250,000.

     Additionally,  the  Company  regularly  pays  a  portion  of
dealers'  interest charges for floor plan financing, normally  up
to  six  months  for most models but up to nine  months  for  its
larger  size models.  Such charges amounting to $582,000 for  the
first nine months of Fiscal 1995 are included in selling expenses
in the accompanying statement of operations.


7.  Transactions with Related Parties.

The  Company  paid or accrued the following amounts for  services
rendered or for interest on indebtedness to related parties:

7.  Transactions with Related Parties (Continued).

    At March 31, 1995, the Company had travel advances receivable
from employees in the amount of $19,736, of which $3,700 was  due
from an officer of the Company.



8.  Financial Condition.

     The Company's financial statements have been prepared on the
basis  that  it  is  a  going  concern,  which  contemplates  the
realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in  the
normal  course  of  business.  At March 31, 1995,  the  Company's
current assets exceeded its current liabilities by $184,319.  The
Company's financial condition is much improved as a result of the
profit it has earned for the first nine months of Fiscal 1995.

      During  the  third  quarter,  the  Company  concluded   its
negotiations with Mercury Marine to refinance its indebtedness to
Mercury.  Under the terms of the refinancing, the Company  has  a
longer  repayment period at lower interest charges.  The  Company
also  concluded  a new agreement with its other  major  creditor,
MetLife  Capital  Corporation, which provided for  new  financial
ratio  requirements.  The Company is now in compliance  with  the
new  MetLife financial ratio requirements.  The Company has  made
all  of  its payments of principal and interest to MetLife  on  a
timely basis and no amounts are in arrears.



9.  Income taxes.

     For  the  nine months ended  March 31, 1995,  no current  or
deferred tax expense was recorded because the net change  in  the
deferred  tax asset valuation allowance of approximately $695,000
equaled  the estimated net changes in the Company's net  deferred
tax  asset  account.   The primary change in  the  Company's  net
deferred  tax  asset  account  was  from  the  reduction  of  net
operating  loss  carryforwards due  to  the  current  period  net
income.   The  estimated net operating loss  carryforward  as  of
March 31, 1995 is $7,105,000.

10.  Common Stock Options.

      On  March  23,  1995, the Board of Directors  approved  the
issuance  of 20,000 common stock options to each of the Company's
five  directors  (100,000 shares total) at the closing  price  of
$5.375  per  share.   On  April 6, 1995 the  Board  approved  the
issuance  of 20,000 common stock options to one of the  Company's
officers  at the closing price of $5.50 per share.  These  awards
were made under the Company's 1986 stock option plan.  Since  the
1986  stock option plan will expire in December, 1996, the  Board
authorized the Company's Corporate Counsel to prepare a new stock
option  plan, to obtain approval from all regulatory authorities,
and  to  arrange  for an approval vote by the  shareholders.   If
approved by the shareholders, the new plan will be for a total of
300,000 shares.

        FOUNTAIN POWERBOAT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
                     and Financial Condition


Results of Operations.

      The net profit for the first nine months of Fiscal 1995 was
$1,655,208  ($0.55  per  share).  This compares  to  a  net  Loss
amounting  to  $1,566,978 ($0.27 per share) for  the  first  nine
months  of the prior year.  The profit this year is due primarily
to  greater  sales volume and to greater gross margin  earned  on
sales.   Net sales were $28,356,363 for the first nine months  of
Fiscal  1995 as compared to $17,799,353 for the first nine months
of the prior year.

      The  improvement  in sales is attributed to  better  market
conditions for recreational boats in general and to the Company's
new  positive-lift  hull bottom.  This new  hull  design  greatly
increases  speed, improves handling, and results in  better  fuel
economy.   The Company is seeking patent protection for  its  new
design.

      For  the first nine months of Fiscal 1995, the gross margin
on  sales  was  $5,637,773  (19.88%) as  compared  to  $2,228,347
(12.52%) for the first nine months of the prior fiscal year.  The
improved  margin  on sales is from a sales mix  of  larger,  more
profitable   models   sold,  price  increases,   production   and
purchasing  efficiencies, and lower fixed costs per unit  because
of greater production volume.

      Selling expenses were $2,550,166 for the first nine  months
of  Fiscal  1995  as compared to $2,451,991 for  the  first  nine
months of last year.

      General and administrative expenses were $1,007,841 for the
first  nine  months of Fiscal 1995 as compared to $1,065,614  for
the first nine months of last year.

      Interest  expense for the first nine months of Fiscal  1995
was $710,591 as compared to $509,764 for the first nine months of
last year.  The increase was mostly from interest paid to a major
supplier on a purchasing line of credit.

      Other  income, principally from consulting, for  the  first
nine  months of Fiscal 1995 was $286,033 as compared to  $232,044
for the first nine months of last year.

Financial Condition.

     The Company's cash flows for the first nine months of Fiscal
1995 are summarized as follows:


        Net cash used in operating activities.......$(1,979,985)
         "   "   used in investing activities.......   (903,934)
         "   "   provided by financing activities...  2,735,969
                                                     -----------
        Net decrease in cash........................$  (147,950)
                                                     ===========


      This  net decrease compared to a $680,506 net decrease  for
the first nine months of the prior fiscal year.

     Cash used in the first nine months of Fiscal 1995 to acquire
additional  property,  plant, and equipment (investing  activity)
amounted to $903,934, of which $550,923 was for plugs, molds, and
other product tooling.

      For  the  remainder of Fiscal 1995, the Company expects  to
generate  sufficient cash from operating activities in  order  to
meet  its obligations.  Management believes that the Company will
continue  to operate profitably for the remainder of  the  fiscal
year.

      Pursuant to an agreement dated February 24, 1995, among the
Company,  Mr.  Fountain, and the Mercury Marine Division  of  the
Brunswick   Corporation,  until  the   Company   has   paid   its
indebtedness  to Mercury in full, it is required to purchase  all
of  its  requirements for engines and certain  other  items  from
Mercury.   Mercury Marine agreed to pay the Company  for  certain
consulting  services provided by Mr. Fountain and for appropriate
endorsements   for  Mercury's  products.   Mercury   Marine   has
established a purchasing line of credit and a variable term  loan
for  the Company which is secured by a subordinated lien  on  the
Company's  assets  and a pledge by Mr. Fountain of  substantially
all of his shares of the Company's common stock.

     During the third quarter, MetLife Capital Corporation agreed
to amend the Company's financial ratio requirements.  The Company
is  now  in  compliance  with  the new  MetLife  financial  ratio
requirements.  The Company has made timely payment of all amounts
owed to MetLife and none of the indebtedness is in arrears.
