As long as we are talking rumors,and this is just that .I was told by a reliable source that the new owner of Fountain has the initials WF,and the person he will hire to run it has the initials RF.Aren't rumors fun?

They must have a signed contract....:drink:

seems like it would cost alot of money to buy that companie, even if hustler is doing real good, in todays market you better be ready for slow sales w/ winter coming on and this kind of shake up i would be real scared of that kind of comitment.

Being a big Hustler fan, im not so sure this is a smart move for them. Joe should really think this through! Keep concentrating on building and sell bad ass Hustler's like that new Rockit about to go to paint!

I agree, I just don't see how they will ever get the money back that it is going to cost to buy Fountain, if anything maybe come out with a couple of more models like some fishing boats...I just think Reggie bit off more than he could chew with the deal he made with Baja:coolcowboy:

Perhaps this will be orchastrated the same way Fountain acquired Baja. I would assume Brunswick would have substantial involvment in the proceedings.

Brunswick has no involvement in the ownership of Hustler.

well if anybody can do it joe can
i bought a 39 rockit this year and i love it
joe,john,mary ellen and everyone at the factory have been so good to deal with,if thay tell you something that is the way it is
thay have been so good to deal with and have made buying a new custom boat very enjoyable
the rockit is all thay said it wouls be and then some
good luck hustler with your future
