Default Is Fountain building new boats?

So what's the deal? Saw this and noticed it really is new. By what I can tell. What's the real story with them building new boats. I know it's been reported but from what I've read nothing has been officially stated that they have started making Fountains again...?

I like that is has "Show" Power with Charger / Stereo Upgrade ("XP" Satellite).
Maybe proof read the damn ad. I know my engrish sucks some times but, this is a business ad.

Horribly written for a business ad.

Was on their (fountain) website as a Christmas sale awhile back... Pretty sure it's one of the last built years ago. They aren't making anything new boats and won't. Their only shot at showing any kind of revenue under the "Fountain Powerboats" name is to keep trying to sue Reggie. The new owner is too busy taking pics of himself to post on Facebook than he is worried about building a boat. (If he even knows what one is). The way this add is looking it will be a miracle if the boat gets launched off the trailer without killing someone...

Maybe he meant it "show has a lot of power".

After seeing how some of the spam posts for knockoffs are written, maybe they are selling Chinese fountains....

That boat was in Miami show 2011.... I saw it there I am pretty sure, and from what i saw the paint was far from what I would want as far as quality, it had a ton of orange peel... for a new boat with paint I want a mirror finish... not impressed at all with what I saw.
