DEFINITELY NOT AT ALL! WE WISH LIBERTY THE BEST AND HOPE THEY HAVE SUCCESS! ALL THE DESIGN AND SETUP CAME FROM MY DAD AND THE 60 YRS OF EXPERIENCE HE PERSONALLY HAS! AND REST ASSURED THE NEW RF POWERBOATS WILL NOT ONLY SURPASS THE QUALITY, BUT SHATTER THE PERFORMANCE OF ITS PREDECESSOR!
I'm going to start by saying that your father is highly respected & has a reputation for being one of the best in offshore powerboating. Growing up east of Washington, my friends & I would stop dead in our tracks to hear your father testing his boats in the ICW in the 80s. He is a hero in my book. He has a huge foorprint in offshore powerboating that will last forever. I'm confident your fathers company will do well.
With that being said, I don't think your bashing of Fountain & its employees is healthy for RFB or Fountain. RESPECT & ADMIRATION in any profession is earned from, hard work, dedication,perfection, focus, & longevity. Riding on a family members shirttail & disrespecting other people & their boats is not how its done. Best I can tell, Fountain Power Boats has kept you in the lap of luxury for years up until the last year or so. Now, their stuff is outdated & you (all of a sudden) are a rigger & interior design specialist? I have had good service from Fountain on my boat & know some of the employees personally. I can't help but be offended when you come on OSO and talk trash. Why don't you turn your caps off & get to work EARNING RESPECT.

How Many Races And World Championships Have You Won? I Think I Have More Than Proven Myself In More Ways Than One! I Wasnt Trying To Talk Down On Your Buddy Brian! Just Stateing Facts That My Dad Taught Brian Everything He Knows! Just Ask Mr. Forehand Where He Worked Before Fountain? A Local Grocery Store In Edenton! Im Not Bashing The Existing Fountains By No Means! My Dad Has Been Wanting To Do Significant Bottom Upgrades And Redsign For A While Now! We Have Gary Bridges And Paul Gallop(the Whole Enginereing Department From Fountain) Now Working With Us At Rf Powerboats! Just Stating That The New Rf Powerboats Will Be Works Of Art!
Standing beside a hero doesn't make you one. If given the same oppertunities as you have had, anybody could be "World Champions". You are a product of your surrondings. I understand you are promoting RFB boats, but there is no need for mudslinging. Put the product out their & let the people who matter (customers) critique it. I don't understand why you bring up Brian every time someone says your out of line, he's not a factor in my post. The fact that "he started in a grocery store" is respectful but seems to be a threat to you. If I were you I would focus on the future & not companys of the past.

I wouldn't expect anything less from you MR. Riggs! I'm sure your at Big Boys right now having a beer with Brian! I have setup and won races and world championships in v-bottoms and cats! I had no help at all from my dad with the cat and I did really good with them! I have rigged, setup and been racing for over 10 yrs, brian can't even race one year without being caught cheating! And they didn't even find have the illegal parts that he had! That motor in watch your back might as well be a 600 merc!
