with Baja's price structure shooting up, up, up the last few years...
I think it was really about taking out the competition in the sell less for more market...

I believe R.C. was added to the "never hawkin' again list" many years ago.

I'm already an "Outlaw" in the warm, fuzzy, family experience boathouse.

And I suppose that Formula has been doing a bang up job of holding the line on pricing???


On the Fountain thing, check out some of the financial sites, you're off base on your "Brunswick owns controling interest in Fountain" comments. Not being sarcastic here, the info is there.

"Larry the Cable Guy Buys Controling Interest In Formula Boats"

The Redneck Gazzette reports that Larry has recently purchased control from the Porter family. In an exclusive interview Larry says the first changes he will make will be to change the long standing Thunderbird to a good old all American Crow, and begin the sole use of plaid vynils thruout the cockpits, as well as to totally redesign the clothing line in an effort to capitalize on the redneck market segment. Larry stated plans are to market thru heavily trafficked retailers such as the local Rent-A-Centers and Wallmarts. Also at the interview was Larry's investment partner Ron White, long known for his "You just can't fix Stupid" line. Ron, scotch in hand, stated that while he and Larry have not figured how to "Fix Stupid" they aim to cash in on it, and Formula appeared to be a solid start in attaining that goal. Ron, three scotches into the interview, said the company will soon hit with their new finance plan modeled after the rental industry, for example he said, the new 353 CrowTech model can be had for $10 bucks down and $10 bucks a week for the next 99 years, tax, title, and repo fees not included.




Now I don't care who you are, that there is a real funny rumor. Better start tearing them there shirt sleves off boys.

Maybe Fountain will adopt that slapping feeling ya feel in a baja under your feet........wait a minute, fountain drivers aren't tall enough to touch their feet to the deck so that can't be a concern....someone in the fountain design shop obviously confused bolster seat with booster seat............and I believe Larry the Cable guy resides in NC.......

From the Baja forum.

Reggies laying off 285 workers and '08 is the last model year for Baja.....


...........We believe, however, that Baja and its dealers will ultimately benefit from being a part of Fountain Powerboats, a company that, like Baja, is a leader in high-performance boats."

I like the comparison
