as for the integraded platform every boat today has one some as big as 3 or four feet like nortech and outerlimits so youre talking about the little beak in the front that distinguishes fountain from the rest . if you look at hustler 38 or cigarette 42 they slop up the same way to gain length instead of curve up like fountain.

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.

For some reason you and I often take the same matter-o-factly view of things.
Your Fountain look'n any different than it did yesterday?
Neither is mine! Imagine that!!!

Just a matter of time before Reggie gets it back in some way shape or form, he's the only guy that will ever make it what it was or better.

Bet it runs the same too :)

I'm done for the season. Just winterized mine and wiped it down. Last week might have been the last ride I ever take in it because I'm pulling the motors and putting the hull up for sale soon. It's time to start on the Donzi.

Well at least you know that your 19' Bayliner is 19'.......... I do need to ask why you would ever post something like that in a Fountain thread...... Just curious, and everyone is entitled to their opinion , But really.....really.....why?

Fountain Powerboats was doomed last December when Reggie walked out the door (....... IMHO)

Fountain Powerboats is Reggie Nuff said.

I wanted to take my boat back to
The fountain factory this winter for some factory repairs ?????

Now what

Interior, cable replacement so on and so on

Don't need anymore up grades just minor repairs
