Actually, I'm pretty impressed that he has 6 sold, considering how new this all is. Wonder if any of those are for Shogren and/or LCM?
"Production will be very limited to begin with. We can do 50 boats a year, but we’ll start with 24 in the first year. We will have our first boats ready in late May or early June, and we will not build any boats that have not been taken, meaning ordered by individual customers who have put down deposits."
....Reggie's quote

Might want to change the size of the facility in the article. To fit 4 million square feet on 7 acres, it will need to be over 13 stories tall. Sorry, just thought that needed to be corrected.

I caught it, and was wondering why the original Fountain "under cover" manufacturing was so small? Amazing.
Are these splashed beaks with longer beaks, or is the actual waterline length longer?

My question is will the boats exhaust be above the water line this time?
And will they actually measure the length they are called?
Now chill out some of you I am just messing around and having fun. I have to say very impressive starting a marine biz at this time, as much as I am not a big fan of his stuff I do wish him the best.

Whether they call it RF Powerboats, Real Fast Powerboats or any other name, I'm sure a quality product will be produced. Reggie Fountain has been a mastermind for the high performance boating business. You may or may not like Reggie's personality but his research and development, advertising, and racing has fueled the Offshore world for years. As a past leader in sportboat sales for Fountain's SE territory (1997-1998) I would love to represent RF powerboats in South Florida if they get a facility here! All the best Reggie and crew!!
