New press release from FOUNTAIN,
Washington, N.C. – June 3, 2008 – Fountain Powerboat Industries, Inc. (AMEX:FPB), a leading manufacturer of high performance sport boats, fish boats and express cruisers, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Baja By Fountain, Inc., has acquired certain assets of Baja Marine Corporation, a subsidiary of Brunswick Corporation (NYSE: BC). Baja produces high performance sport boats in lengths from 19 feet to 40 feet.
Fountain expects to begin manufacturing the Baja by Fountain boat product line for the 2009 model year, according to Fountain Powerboat founder and CEO Reggie M.

This action unites two of the leading brands within the powerboat segment, adding several popular models to our product portfolio, including the Outlaw, Performance and Islander model line-ups. Likewise, we are excited to deepen our long-standing relationship with Mercury Marine, which will continue to provide marine engines and certain other power components for Baja boats manufactured by Fountain through a long-term agreement.”

Will,
I'll let you slide this time just don't let it happen again! LOL
Well I guess this finally makes it official.
Does anyone know if molds are in North Carolina yet?
I hear one of my buddys may be heading South for a job in North Carolina. I sure hope that works out.
Thanks
Dock

I hear a lot of things and it's hard to know exactly what is fact but it sounds like Brunswick/Mercury still has a hand in things as regarding power for both brands at some inflated prices. I cannot see how that will help the Baja line if it is indeed true.
