you'r right on.. This is the worse times in the US for over 4-5 decades. To many just don't realize it or they have their head in the sand. I hope I'm wrong but I see 5 years or heII.

On a nother note... financial statements of any boat builder has nothing to do with their product. Fountain, Skatter, MTI, OL. Cigs. NT. AT. DOnzi. Fromula. etc. all build great boats.
Different marketing,, different end users.. and their profit margin don't reflect boo about the boats.
The issue is "merketing integritiy".. not "financial stability"

I hope that the manipulative forces driving us downward...pre-election of course...ar able to reverse the trajectory that they have created.

Boy, you said it!

I just wonder, if this had occurred any other time, (not weeks before the most important presidential election in our life), how things might be different. All of this jockeying for position in congress, and in front of the media, is it really necessary!

I can see your point, but Reggie doesn't bring the boats to drive recklessly, erratic, or generally unsafe in anyway. The accidents have been mostly driver error, and that should help sharpen ANYONES mental skills while running with a high performance boat in a comparitive group. Reggie literally is there to spread Fountains pheromones wherever possible.

I hope people keep bringing the race boats & race cats to the fun runs. It makes others want to attend, so they can catch a close up look at the "big toys", which are huge in getting kids interested into cars, motorcycles, and boats. Fountain always has "something" that holds a world record, so their commitment to performance is key.
