It still amazes me why people worry about things that other people don't.

Ok, this is my understanding.

Liberty owns the Baja brand (not sure if they are producing any) and the factory (formerly Fountain) in Washington, NC and employs the personal to actually manufacture boats and do service work on them.

AMH is the holding company that bought the Donzi, Fountain and Pro-Line brands (and molds) but does not actually produce the boats. I guess they figured they would buy these brands on the cheap and make a return on their investment as the economy improves. Sometime ago AMH reached an agreement where-by Liberty would mange the Donzi, Fountain and Pro-Line brands (market and produce them) at Liberty's facility in Wash, NC, for a fee no doubt.

It appears that Liberty has now pulled out of that arrangement - so production on new AHM brand boats has stopped, but the service work continues. One can only wonder why Liberty pulled out of the arrangement. As for Baja, I have no idea what Liberty plans for it.


I hope the two sides work it out.

So if I read this right AMH has no place or personal to manufacture the boats.

Not good.

I see your point, but actually, you are fully wrong! When you do swells at 80 mph, you use the full length for all its worth, and the nose give you extra lift in the water and in the air (like NO other boat!). The last section of the boat is great for flotation and give a practical and modern look, and the hull has a big notch. It goes faster becuse it is shorter (has the notch) but still use the full length of the hull in heavy seas. In addition, you have flaps. So your statement is somewhat incorrect. Sorry :-D
