Pete,

How long have you had a subsciption to the "Redneck Gazette"?
I will be interested to see what ole'Reggie puts in his quarterly news letter to all of you share holders. It will read something like this ...... "Fountain a new breed of performance boats" "Shaped like a Bird , quality of a Baja, powered by Mercury , resale like a SEA RAY ......
Looking forward to a joint venture with many years to come with the Biggest name in bowling ...... Brunswick ......
We are going to have the market covered ..... so hurry and buy more stock now ......

LOL .... LOL .....

P.S. How many Walmart greeters does it take to dock a FountainBajaMercury performance boat?

Jeff

My money says when the slapping starts it won't be my a$$ that is feelin' it.

I have one of those navigating computers now, so I don't even need to see where I'm going, and I can reach the throttles just fine. I can see over the sunpad, so I won't have any trouble seeing you, or the rest of your flock.

I believe Larry resides in the Sunshine State/Florida, but hear he and Ron are planning a move to a Decatur suburb in the very near future. Did you miss the latest rumor? I also heard Larry and Ron are going after a major bass boat manufacturer, and plan to assure all Formula buyers have rod holders and a place to keep their beer and dead fish.



FRMULTR, Wallmarts is the southern spelling for the retail giant, and it's not the plural of it either.

never said...

I asked if that was the case.

it might be true that they don't today...
but the terms of controlling ownership are in place...

he's gotten an extension on that massive bailout loan 'till 2012 right?

Regardless of who's names' on the door, he's a Brunswick puppet now, I think that's apparent.

I posed the Brunswick buying and loan questions to an individual I feel is in a position to know what is right and what is rumor a short while back, if for no other reason but to satisfy my own curiousity. What I was told was that as far as they knew the loan deal was history, and the relationship stood at the supply deal and option as per the SEC docs. Their opinion was that the option would never be exercised.

What has been extended at this point, per the SEC docs again, is the supply agreement and the option, the way I read it is that the option could not even be exercised until 2012. In light of recent events that is not looking like the way things will play out, but you never know, no one ever saw this deal comming either. What may exist in terms of the supplier/customer credit agreement would be anyone's guess. I would fully expect, as this new deal plays out, to see at least a supply agreement, if it is not already a part of this. I am sure that the relationship with Brunswick is close at this point, but I do not believe this man would ever become someone's puppet. It looks to me like Brunswick just made the decision to get out of the perf boat business and concentrate on the family lines where they likely make better money. Fountain was there, and for his own reasons decided this move was right, and that is it in a nut shell. Love him or hate him, you can't deny him what he has accomplished, or the bravado with which he goes at it.

You're absolutely right ..... you won't have any problem seeing the " Formula Flock" because we will be in front of you .....

LOL ..... LOL .....

All the cook has to do is tell me where to plant the kiss.

Little lesson for you in basic Fountain design,

1) The Beak, or part of the boat you all poke fun at, is located at the front of the design.
2) The Helm/Dash, or the part you all poke fun at we height challenged about seeing over, is located about mid-ship, while standing at the helm ones foreward view is over the Deck towards the aforementioned Beak, located on the front of the boat.
3) The Sunpad, or the part of the boat I referenced being able to clearly see all of you over, is located at the rear of the Helm in the current Fountain design.


Now, assuming you have been able to absorb the above design data, and now have reasonable understanding of the location of key design elements in a Fountain Powerboat, I would offer the following, you try to follow along here.


Were one located at the aforementioned Fountain Helm looking out over the Sunpad,

1) One would be taking in the view of that which is behind,or to his rear.
2) One would be viewing that which he has already passed, or gone by.
3) One would be viewing that which can not catch up to, run aside of, or pass the one located at the Helm of the Fountain Powerboat in question.


Now if you are still having a problem understanding the relationship here, I will offer the following,

1) Were you and I to change the names of our boats I might choose Lookin' Back or Rag B Gone, whereas you might choose Been Had or Twins Astern, in an effort to properly place, or relate, one to the other.

If you are still failing to grasp this whole deal, I will gladly demonstrate the whole concept to you in person, free of course, if you would care to see how it all works. Just bring that bad boy up here sometime, at your convience of course.

The cook is out. When she returns I'll tell her to be ready you're on your way. She should be here by 5:00 PM, don't be late, you'll tie her up when she's supposed to be getting my dinner ready.


Well see ya, it's off to the heated pleasure boat shop for my weekly bonding session with my other girl. Maybe I'll crank the heat up to 90 and pretend it's summer.

I think the name would be "got ragged again" ....
Of coarse what do I know .... the summer will be half over by the time you put that Beaked Baja inspired elevator shoe wear'in gold chain swing'in bad hair Fountain of yours in the water.....
You should beat the old 20yr. classic ..... The rest of the Formula Boyz will already have 50+ hrs. on by then ......

LOL .... LOL ......

Now whose your Daddy ????

Jeff

Not much son, but don't worry, Daddy will see to it that you get a good education.
