Whats going on at Fountain?
 

Are they building any boats? Whats going on down there??

Yes they are building a few.....things are terribly slow but they do have orders and some decent service work

I called the factory number yesterday and no one was answering the phones!!!!!

We will have them at the Ft. Lauderdale show in the convention center this weekend

I don't know about the Factory, but Shogren, and legend marine seem to have doubled their inventory???? I know dealers are dropping like flies, (not just Fountain) and they are moving inventory around to maybe keep banks off?? Depending on the dealer floor plan (bank loan for inventory) many have buy back clause, like if the dealer goes under the Factory has to buy back unsold inventory, I actually thought that was why Fountain filed for protection, so they could get out of buy back clauses?? But hey I don't know chit, I just read the articles.:eek:

Got any pics?

Good question/topic. I am considering the purchase of a Baja by Fountain, but concerned about the longer term viability of the manufacturer. I was told Fountain had an invester come in and "bail them out" and that they had hired some folks back, and that they were building boats for 2010. Can't seem to find any current info on the state of affairs at Fountain. Any comments/help appreciated. Thanks guys.

Don't know if they had booth at boat show??

No Bail out, but I would dare say they have as good if not better survivability than most other builders of similar boats. All builders are in the bunker just waiting this out.:party-smiley-004:

Fountain is building boats but certainly at no where near the level as in the past.....and they did have a display at the Lauderdale show but it was on the inside under roof not on the water
