Engines....he's really ahead of the game on that. Let's see he used Mercury, then Mercury, oh and then he tried Mercury.

Handling and speed, yes, it's impressive, but thats about all he's got. But yeah, Reggie didn't engineer the hull nor hand lay the glass.
Comical. |
Let's recap. A 2001 Baja owner criticizing late model fountains. IMHO that conjures up HATER. Not putting down Bajas. I have owned two of them. I like all boats from pontoon to Fountains. But when you own a boat one notch ahead of a bayliner when it comes to craftsmanship. Should you be putting down one of the premier boats? I think not. Hater, nuff said.

Good to hear. Thanks for the heads up! I do believe if the new folks just keep on doing things right that it can work. Personaly I am a huge Reggie fan, lots of respect for what he has done over the years, love his product. He was the one that courted these guys to invest in Fountain to save it. Seems a little odd that he has this, whatever it was over, hissie fit and walks. I would have thought the product his name had been on for so many years would have been worth a little compromise of some sort. |
It will really be interesting now since Shogren will no longer be stocking their new inventory. I think Shogren will be fine.. Liberty Investments on the other hand....not looking good.

It's like one of your favorite sports team gets a new owner . To me that shouldn't mean you change teams if your a true fan of the franchise . Besides at his age , it was bound to happen sooner or later anyway . By the way I own a 42' Fountain now , and also had a 33' Turbo back in the 80's . So I am a long time fan of the product

Reggies out, so is Shogren, I would love to hear how that conversation went, to run off your biggest dealer
