I've digested this over the past few days and I have always been one that never liked Fountains cat killer videos and the advertising of "the fastest" etc etc. However, it does seem to appear that Mr. Fountain seemed to take a step back after the bankruptcy and learn from his mistakes and walk away form liberty 'et all.

I do think that they are taking the correct approach with RF powerboats and reaching out to their previous clients and just simply doing good work on the boats. if they continue with that business plan coupled with the new humility, I see no reason that they couldn't come out a winner. If they do decide to produce boats, to me the smartest plan would to be a custom builder with only a certain number per year, while perfecting current owners boats.

There was a time where I felt the arrogance was too much, but I am now friends with both Wyatt and Reggie III on Facebook and I enjoy seeing the pics of new projects and them working hard to build the new company, that is the direction I would focus on. :)

Most people talking about politics is no different then a typical GRANDMA talking on OSO about powerboats!

I gave up a long time ago, and it relieved a lot of stress out of my life. Nothing is going to change anyways unless you have millions of dollars to "buy out" someone.

The entire deal about Fountain, Reggie, Liberty, etc, just makes me sick to my stomach. The things people do for money simply amaze me.....

Right On!

You want Lawyers & Politicians??
 
Lets start here very quickly setting out that the word " Politics" should be reclassified and placed in appropriate dictionaries as a Four Letter Word! What we obviously need to repair and heal this great country of ours todays is not Lawyers and Politics, but a lot of good "Public Servants" that we vote into office and then as quickly as possible try and unseat or remove the Politicians and Lawyers who have generously helped put us where we are at today!
No one has more lawyers per capita then we here in California! So if there is any area in the country or people who feel they are the answer, please send us a request and we will send you a full boatload!
Now lets put this thread back on the subject of the Fountain abandonment fiasco!

Best Regards,
Ray @ Raylar

To try and do so is just plain "Stupid"!
