Awesome video. Looks like the cat is getting ready to lap the Fountain! Easy guys, I am just stirring the pot to keep the entertainment going. Though you do have to give Fountain credit for their marketing stunts, I do have to point out one thing. Fountain is not the original cat killer. They borrowed that title from Apache! Check out this old video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_6vdTEChas&NR=1 Like I said, just stirring the pot to keep the entertainment going.

Funny that Mercury, sorry, Brunswick owns four of those companies you have listed. In addition to having a debt equity stake in Fountain.
Sonic had to be bought out out survive.
Superboat and Phantom don't make as many boats per year as there are months in it I believe.
Bertram only survives b/c they were bought out by the Ferretti group.
So that leaves what, 2 of the companies you listed as really strong enough to stand on their own feet. Allison and Skater.
Excuse my ignorance, but I did not know that Checkmate was still in business, they should alert the press. Spectre had to totally divest themselves of their core boats due to insurance companies refusal to write policies for customers.
It's a very rough business and let us not forget the boat company that T2X was a sales manager for.

This thread is turning out to be ridiculous like many of the fountain threads. Reggie must be doing something right to steer up this kind of controversy. He has been building great boats for quite sometime, he has an excellent history in racing. All the haters just need to give credit where credit is due, period. Just for the record I am partial to Cig and I hope to own one in the future.
