Fountain has a branding issue down the road if they plan to continue. The hull design with the beak and low slung aft end is their image, has been for close to thirty years and may be getting a bit old. People are buying the used boats because the prices are approachable and they like the design. People also buy old Corvettes,Ferrari's and Porsche's but new different ones are being built for those customers wanting the brand in new clothing unlike Fountain.
and
Maybe, just maybe there's no one left to design a new hull.

Cigarette has no problem selling $1M 42's, 46's and even 50's. They are a timeless design, hold value better than ANY other brand, and quality is unmatched. That being said, Fountain has a lighter, faster, cheaper hull. Now that they are almost all 10+ years old they are depreciating rapidly and easily affordable. The new boat is going to be a hard sell because the people who are buying new boats in today's economy are buying better built, more expensive boats. That, and the color scheme and interior is pretty much garbage.

2) Most Nortech interiors look like Ronald McDondald banged a smurf and the interior is their offspring....the one u posted is only moderately terrible.
3) Nortech Vees are truely well known
their speed and handling....right.
4)I love skanks

Still a lot more boat for similar money! For $428k it better come with a truck load of bravos and a credit to have the interior completely redone!
