Well if thats how they feel, I personally have owned two 27 Fountains. I guess my point is they are missing a big part of the market. Allot of people can afford any boat they want but the lakes or river they live on just cant justify a 35+ ft boat. Lat time I priced a new 29 single 525 I was quoted 150K if Fountain cannot make a profit from that then they do need to get out of that market.
Just my opinion but seems like they are making a mistake, just like wasting resources on their non selling cruisers.

Getting out of control? The price of the stuff got up and went as soon as they got there excuse to rob us - Katrina. Back in 2001 Bush and Chaney gave the oil executives the go ahead and we have been bent over since then. Remember the meeting Cheney had with the energy executives? The meeting where he refused to give up the minutes? Right then and there is where they destroyed the middle class. The price of everything is now stupid as a result of their greed. Bunch of filthy pigs. And I was dumb enough to vote for them twice.

More nonsence from the left. And let me guess - you buy the oil companies line that China and India's economy is expanding so we need to pay more over here. Let me spell it out for you - at $60 a barrel we were paying $3.27 a gallon in May, on the street - now that oil is up in the mid ninties a barrel I am paying $2.95 a gallon. Shortage of oil my a$$ - when is the last time you saw a line at the gas stations? That big jug handle pitcher with the smiley face is in your kitchen - not mine - drink up

Fountain is probably just doing it temporarily due to low recent sales. (They are a public company which obligates them to report quarterly on profits). I'm sure as the recession improves, this market segment will recover
