I am not going to dispute you on that fact, but I guess mine may be one of the exceptions to my comments...you haven't been around long enough to understand.

Oh, btw, Formula is still in business with the Porters, the original owners since what, the 70's? They know how to run a business. Unlike Mr. Fountain who ran his into the ground with excessive spending on gold chains and fake hair! "Sorry shareholders that your stock is worthless, but don't worry I took enough money out of the company for me and my family to be plenty rich". I am sure that is why Liberty asked him to walk. Oh, lastly just because they are fast, doesn't make them ethical. That matters to some of us.

I'll look good in my slow moving Formula, thank you.

Most people that see it, love it.

On Facebook whoever runs the page says as far as they could tell it was Sport Racing and Luxury Sport. But the way they wrote it made it sound like no one really knew for sure.

I will stay out of the Formula/Fountain war other than to say you have to know what you want and buy accordingly. The boats cannot be compared apples to apples. Oh, and the F2 Formula 382s did extremely well back in the day so Formula can cobble together a fast boat if they choose.

Well put...I am not bashing Fountain, well sort of, but it angers me that people have this image of Reggie as the "King". He is a thief who stole the crown jewels and is getting away! He robbed thousands of investors money and nobody will admit it, I just don't understand...Drink the kool aid!

I seem to recall the SR-1 moniker had a little something to do with this:

I agree with you on Reggie. I know some guys that were looking into buying Fountain and Reggie wasn't going to be allowed to touch the books! He would only have been the face of the company and a consultant, with no access to the bank accounts. Needless to say, they didn't buy the company!
