So would this mean that my piece of Fountain perfection just went up in value?

Wow what kind of morons did they have manning that operation.

That is just insane.
If anyone is wondering what goes on at Iconic Marine, my guess is there's a few people sitting in the outer office drinking booze instead of overseeing operations.

Oh dear me.....

Perhaps with the onset of the great storm and the surge up the Pamlico they will have an insurance claim that will offset their stupidity.

Hey, you can insure stupid. That's a fact.

Fountain and Iconic could be history come Monday morning. I hope anyone that has anything to do with that facility is far from there and on high ground, this hurricane may be biblical.

Fountain already posted that another boat company with higher ground has allowed them to move boats to their facility.

I find that odd that they destroyed the ZR molds...Didn't they just build a ZR and a Lighting a couple years ago? I believe the Donzi was a 35 and the Lightning was a 38. Unless they destroyed them after they molded these two boats.

Here is what my area rep told me
Hey Lee,
Thanks for getting back with me. At this time, under our “Performance” series, we only have our “Cat-Hulls” available. We will have (3) Lightning’s coming, but we are looking at the end of 2019, early 2020 before releasing the “Reggie-performance” series. Wish I had better news, but we will be addressing this topic during our Dealer conference on Sept 15/16!
I will be happy to keep you informed on the progress, but ask for you to remind me in the middle of September in case I forget.
We appreciate you allowing us to work with you.

Thank you,

Darren Landry



[QUOTE]Hi Darren,
My original question to Tara was whether or not a staggered 35 or 38 Lightning could be special ordered? I understand it would have to be placed through Grander Marine though.

Thanks,
Lee

Cant they just make a new mold from an already built boat. If they want, they can use my fountain 35 Lightning as a model.
