A thought here since I am back in the market looking to purchase another boat.
I have become a bit concerned about the possbile law on emission standards (California) that if passed will impact our industry. It has me a bit hesitant of how engines may have to be reconfigured.
It actually has me more concerned than the fuel prices.
The performance boating industry is taking hits in many areas, high fuel prices, possible emission standards, speed limits.

By the way..........
As to the quote that few other performance boat manufacturers have not gone bankrupt during Fountain Powerboat's lifespan...... I submit the following for your review.
Skater.......... established at the same time as Fountain.
Eliminator....... older yet
Checkmate.......ditto
Baja......ditto
Bottom line....... Stockholders could care less about quotes, business conditions, the economy, Elvis comparisons, Ego, trash talking, records or race wins...... you can't spend any of that claptrap....and in this case...it produces no dividends.
