Hustler Powerboats is currently in negotiations to purchase Fountain powerboats and all its assets. As of Oct. 5th, Fountain powerboats will go up for auction and no longer be doing business. Hustler Powerboats will move its operations to NC and re-build the Fountain and Baja Line to full capacity over the next 4 years and keep the Fountain Legacy intact as we feel it is a big part of Performance boat history and do not want to see it die off. We are dedicated to re-strengthening both Fountain and Baja, keeping the same look and feel with improved quality and workmanship. Over these last couple years, Hustler has been blessed with sales and is running strong and would like to give back to the boating community by saving these companies from being auctioned off piece by piece. If you have any question please feel free to email me at [email protected]

I wouldn't talk about it until it is a done deal. Plenty of time for things to change.

So besides you telling us here, is it now public knowledge that this is a viable transaction or are you purchasing the scraps at the auction providing you are the high bidder.....

I received this same e-mail this afternoon at 15:50 from hustler... I guess we are many to receive it...

well if you did purchase it then u will have 3 good brands of boats to pick from i like all 3 and own a 42 fountain and would not hesitate on owning a hustler.

I wonder if they will keep it called fountain and I wonder if they plan to keep reggie in the picture?

There ia a local Hustler Dealer sending out emails to all also....

It's on Hustlers web site to.

Fountains getting Hustled Guess its better than the Gov owning it, they can barely run the bus transit

If it is going up for auction then it is possible there will be other bidders or interests there as well. However If it DOES go up for auction I would much rather see another boating company get it that wants to continue the lines.. Jamie / Lakeside
