.... to be honest it's exactly what I would expect out of him and the marketing brainchild's building boats in the back-woods.

The factory is in the middle of nowhere though.

Was is it a silly and childish ad? For me, yeah. Was it "brilliant" or "genius" marketing. For me, no. But if someone disagrees with me, cool. Agree or disagree. Either way, blood pressure isn't going to change. p.s Downthroath!!! you know how to get ahold of me... I'll be your Huckleberry!!!:food-smiley-009: |

Pick your venue
I'm not a Fountain critic or fan, but I think you've got admit that, if you want to RACE and win, Fountain is your best choice.
They are fast. They win. The results speak for themselves. But, if you want to go offshore-boating for FUN, as 99% of us do, be it poker-runs, or (more likely), just having fun, then OL, Skater, MTI, Cig, Sunsation, Donzi, Formula, Nor-Tech (even Apache!) and several others are better choices. Race=Fountain Offshore Enthusiasts = Skater, MTI, OL, Cig etc. . . . and Fountain, too. If you've been in a NorTech 39 and a Fountain 42, you know that they are as different as a 430 Modena Ferrari and a 427 Cobra. Both are fantastic, but with little in common other than speed. Two very different worlds. I agree that the most recent Fountain ads project an insecure, defensive posture. Sort of the "little-guy," Joe Pesce thing from Wise Guys. But, as he would say, "WTF!" Reggie doesn't need to be that way. He really is the KING of offshore racing today! That's a great accomplishment. But it really doesn't amount to **** for the majority of offshore enthusiasts, anymore than the results of NASCAR do when we decide what brand of car to buy. Ford? Chevy? Dodge? Not for the offshore guys I know! So let Reggie's ad-guys do their macho-thing. (Does Reggie even knows what they're doing? I suspect he's far more cool than his ads are.) The 99% of us who aren't on the race courses will select boats based on much more than their racing chops. |
