You Fountain guys kill me .I cant stop laughing !Too funny! Just remember, We didnt start it.By the way,I owned a 40 Fountain with 700 horse Zuls.I loved that boat but decided it was time to get a Cig. Also,at the Fort Lauderdale boat show in 03,at the Cig booth,Reggie came by and could not take his eyes off the Gladiator.Skip was showing him the new Stealth 46 and Reggie was not interested.He was more into that Gladiator. Anyhow,Fountain or Cigarette,either way, you cant go wrong.

What about Pier 57 dropping Fountain and picking up Cig, any relation to these other goings on?

Hey guys........ Not to change the subject or anything...... but.....has anyone heard anything from the OL boys? They've sure been quiter than a church mouse since Reggie kicked their azz last spring. Oh....... I forgot...... that's right....... did'nt they have a GPS that someone dropped out of an airplane that showed 161 or something like that? :rolleyes:

There are people on this board that would criticize Noah's boat building skill. :rolleyes:

T2x, you sonofab***ch. I will not have you writing crap like that about me! I was never there with Mister Rickey. It was Little Richard!

Another thing: I don't know how this got to be a Cig bashing thread, but I'm gonna say this once more. Ferrari, Rolex, Harley, Cigarette, Rolls, etc..... There is only one of each of them. The honor is not of their own doings. You can try as hard as you wish, but you will never bump them out of their place. Example: Suzuki GSXR vs. Harley Soft Tail. 171 mph vs 116 (ring a bell?) Ever visualize General Patton on a GSXR? I don't think so, Tim!

This is almost as classic as Ford vs. Chevy, Mercury vs. OMC etc. I will say this, when a particular style of boat is recognized by one name (A Cigarette Boat, much like when someone asks for a Coke, when they're just referring to a soda) that speaks volumes. I was really partial to Ben's following quote;

“This is a big move for me!” said Robertson, “Reggie and I have known each other for 35 years, but I was ready for a change. It’s exciting to be leaving an industry leader and going to an industry giant.”

No BS - Straight from the man himself! :D

If Cig goes racing again then time will tell. They make a great boat
