Fountain
Cigarette
Baja
Formula
Donzi
I agree with these being the most recognized names by the general public. I just asked three of my co-workers, one owns a boat (not performance) and the other two don't.
None of the three have ever heard of Hustler, Outerlimits, or Skater.
They all new Cig, Baja, Fountain, Donzi and "I think" Formula.

are we including people that DON'T know boats at all???i think if your around a large body of water vs a small in-land lake these #'s would vary....don't think baja was even an option when Don A. was in the news...
donzi, cg ("what kind of boat do you have?"...)....scarab due to miami vice....some people that were watching had never even seen the ocean!
...so the only way of measuring that would be what boats are in the (non boating)media...i think those 3 w/o a question at the big dogs
cg and donzi(more than anyone) are currently in todays movies.
