Fountain is a publically traded company. Going out of business is one of those events that the pesky people at the SEC require publically traded co's to announce.

Many rumors are being bandied about, even by dealers on the floors of shows these days. Some of the names are pretty huge, and it does nobody any good to throw this type of stuff into the rumor pits. It's far worse out there than many realize, but at least give the brands a chance for survival, or to hold onto their swords until the battle ends.

no offence boys, im not spreding rumors or slinging crap, i was simply asking if the rumore i heard was true, and who better to ask then the fountain boys on this site. i heard it from the dealer and still was a little off, it didnt sound right, but i thought i would see. sorry if this came across as me slinging crap or what ever, i was just wondering. trust me, i dont want to see them close down esp since they took over baja, i want to see them grow and make baja follow.

Tony from Fountain sales called me on Saturday about a boat that my buddy was interested in. They are still open, maybe just a little slow like the rest of us.
