do your math before you make an a-hole comment like
that. As far as Cig goes,didnt they make like 10 boats
a year in the for most of the mid 90's? I'll take a
correction if I'm wrong.

I'm sure Ross Perot could buy most any boat he wanted. He buys Fountains. Does that mean he's foolish, has no taste or lacks wealth?
How about Bush's Fountain Fish boat? Guess he's not worthy either????
Somehow, I think not.

Sorry cheap shot bt you know I had to go there.

How about comparing 2000 'til now Fountains?
Better yet, how about using Boattrader.com as part of your calcs.............I'll wait.

approx 106 2000 or newer
of which:
1 was a Not-Tech dealer advertizing the dealership
5-6 were Fountain cruisers
1 was a CC
1 was a cuddy fish
1 was a Fountain/Scism
A few were multiple listings
and one was a Sunsation?
Think what you want. Check Trader if you want. Look at the # sold of any performance boat. How is it Fountain compares so poorly? For sale #s mean nothing without looking at percentages. I have no problem with Outerlimits it just the quality of some of the owners that is questionable.

Result
The first step is to write 180. as a fraction of 1700., which is simply
180/1700
Now we need to multiply the numerator and denominator of the fraction by 1 to get rid of the decimals :
180/1700 = 180/1700 x 1/1 = 180/1700
In order to find the simplest form of the fraction 180/1700 we cancel out the greatest common divisor of 180 and 1700, which is 20 :
180/1700 = 9/85
Now we just need to convert this fraction to a percentage :
9/85 = 10.5882%
So we have the final answer :
180. is 10.5882% of 1700.
