Sorry to stir the pot. Guess I appreciate your insights more than others. I'm probably more old school as you are. I remember when APBA was racing and the biggest problem with racing was coming up with enough pit space for all the boats that would show whether it was hydro's, flatbottoms, OB's or offshore.
As you can tell, Wall Streets beating down Reggies door, stock has gone from $20 in 1987 to $4 currently( I know dividends can affect return but I didn't feel like doing that much research). Must admit though, he does figure out to sell boats.

increase of approximately 11.3 percent, compared to net sales of
$71,182,069 for fiscal 2005.
Profit: Gross profit up 20 percent for the year
-- Gross profit for the year was $13,073,801, with a gross profit margin
of approximately 16.5 percent, versus a gross profit of $10,910,563, with a
gross profit margin of 15.3 percent for fiscal 2005.
"Our gross profit margin for the year increased approximately 7.8 percent due in part to the restructuring of our manufacturing facility which improved productivity and labor efficiency," commented Fountain Powerboats Chief Financial Officer Irving Smith."

was increased by $1,283,746 pertaining to a deferred tax benefit reserved
by the company in 2002. After four years of operating profits the company
has determined that it no longer has to carry the reserve and has taken a
portion of the reserve as a deferred tax benefit. Before the addition of
the deferred tax benefit, net income was $1,121,166, or earnings per share
of $0.23 on a basic and diluted basis, compared to a net income of
$756,212, or a net income per share of $0.15 on a basic and diluted basis,
for the fiscal 2005.
"Our net income for the year, before the deferred tax benefit, increased 48.3 percent, a significant increase when compared to other boat manufacturers who are experiencing downturns in growth," commented Fountain CEO and Founder Reggie Fountain. "Our goal for 2007 is to continue the trend by increasing our gross profit and net income through evaluating and reducing unnecessary costs and expenses. With the assistance of an industry consultant, every member of our management team, from the top down, is involved in organizing and streamlining our manufacturing processes and implementing best business practices throughout the company. This process requires educational programs and training classes for all employees, and we believe the time investment will allow us to better manage our sales growth and profitability now and well into the future," added Fountain.
The Lean Manufacturing process is the framework and philosophy utilized to organize manufacturing facilities with the main goal of eliminating waste and increasing profitability. Lean Manufacturing targets seven types of waste: defects, over production, transportation, waiting, inventory, motion and over processing. Lean Manufacturing techniques have successfully assisted management and employees to enhance processes in the manufacturing facility.
The company's balance sheet remains strong, with almost $4.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and a current ratio of 1.19:1. Shareholders' equity was approximately $8 million, a 23 percent increase, when compared to $6.5 million for fiscal 2005. Cash on hand, accounts receivable and the value of the key-man life insurance policy provide the company with approximately $10.5 million in liquid assets.

I don't worship Fountain Powerboats or Reggie. I do have alot of respect for the both of them though.

As you can tell, Wall Streets beating down Reggies door, stock has gone from $20 in 1987 to $4 currently( I know dividends can affect return but I didn't feel like doing that much research). Must admit though, he does figure out to sell boats.

Cool Wing!

PS - Any MPH #'s on the wing?

As far as old school race fleets.... some of today's glory hounds would get lost before the start in events like these...

I am not impressed with the financial performance of the Company. I do admire that Reggie has found a way to pay for his racing affinity with stockholder money.

TX2,
Have you put the wing in the water yet ? Cant wait to hear how it runs with 300hp a side.
Your a braver/dumber man than I to run that bad boy wide open.
