If Fountains are so good?
 

Then why are there 181 of them for sale in the classifieds. Double the next closest brand? :eek: I can see you guys love em so much you just can't wait to get rid of them. :drink:

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

ouch :evilb:

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

How Many of Fountains have been produced ?

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

That is a ______comment. To truely make your point, you would have to compare how many boats they build a year. If Fountain sells 200 boats a year and there are 100 boats for sale........it's no different than if Cigarette built 100 boats a year and 50 were for sale...right?

Fountain produces more boats than alot of manufacturers out there, so it's only normal they may have more boats for sale.Every manufacturer produces different numbers, so you need to have legitimate numbers to make your statement true.. Just my .02

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

Whats not legitamate about my numbers? Go to the classified section youself and read it. Its a simple observation made about the OSO classifieds only. Those numbers speak for themselves. I can't fabricate them. :cool:

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

True, theres a lot of Fountains for sale, there projection for new builds this year are 500 and they've built how many over the years? lets compare apples to apples :D

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

I would think there are more Bajas produced then Fountains.There are 88 Bajas for sale now.

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

Alot of people buy them

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

If that production number is true then its really surprising that half a years production is for sale just here on OSO. Why would so many people want sell such "great boats" .

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

Man you guy's kill me. I will make it easy for you to understand. Fountain builds about 550 to 600 boats a yr.
Cigarette builds about 85 to 100 boats a yr.
Outerlimits builds about 22 to 24 boats a yr.
MTI builds about 17 to 20 boats a yr.
Skater builds about 28 to 34 boats a yr.
So, use this to see who has the biggest % of boats for sale.
30% of Fountain's yearly production is for sale.
100% of Cigarette's yearly production is for sale.
200% of OL's yearly production is for sale.
100% of MTI's yearly production is for sale.
155% of Skater's yearly production is for sale.
Think about this???????and answer your own BS.

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

Better Question is out of all those fountain boats for sale, how many are just upgrading to a better fountain? :cool:

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

Or how many are bailing out to buy a better brand?

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

You can also look at like this:

Most of the Outerlimits listed are 2000 or newer and @ 25 a year that is 175 boats and 39 are listed for sale.

Most of the Fountains listed are 1990 or newer and at 500 a year, that is 8500 boats and 180 are listed for sale.

22.3% vs 2.1% Even if you figure the Fountain production for that period was only 250 per year that is only 4.2%

:cool:

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

I'm in no way a fountain fan. Not that there's anything wrong with them, they just aren't for me. But I don't see a lot of the fountain owners complaining about them on here. They mostly seem like proud boat owners like they should be. Dollar for dollar, i think they are a good quality boat with something to offer for people who are attracted to them. You know people who wear a lot of gold and like to pretend they are in the mafia. (j/k)

Seriously though, Reggie publicized a statement that is debatable, and I understand debating that. (I think he was wrong to make those statements) But I don't think that statement deserves all the fountain bashing that it has brought on.

just my .02

I know i know, next week I'll make a beak joke and everyone will repost this to me.

If so how can you afford it??? you are having a very hard time with simple math :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

I'am on my 3rd and will step up again, when I get the balz to go to the bank.

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

Sorry man, if you look at the numbers built vs the number forsale percentage wise there are a lot more OLs for sale.

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

Yes I own an Outer Limits and I can afford it just fine thank you for your concern. I'm not the one changing numbers just observing them.

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

Love you FRED, your new boat sure looks good.

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

He is going to delete this thread!

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

Thats pretty funny I know what you mean.

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

:eek:

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

Who is he? Reggie? :p

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

OH BOY :eek:

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

the numbers speak for themselves...............


BTW You can't shoot from the hip with OSO....they will get you evry time

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

Last time he laughed and said "you always say its a great deal" but he always gives me the money, I love my banker, Its like I just had sex when I leave the bank!

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

Baja projects 1000 units sold a year and still only 88 for sale.

Does that make them the BEST boat out there by your calculations.... :rolleyes:

Blume, my brother, doesn't Fountain build only like 80-100 POWERBOATS a year? Total sales includes the cruisers and CC's, does it not?

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

Like I said I'm not changing numbers just making an observation. :cool:

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

1990 - present @ 100 per year = 1700

That is still only 10.5%

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

Percentages aren't my strong piont but 181 out of 1700 is more like 9%

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

But you compared OL from 2000 'til now for your percentages.

How about comparing 2000 'til now Fountains?

Better yet, how about using Boattrader.com as part of your calcs.............I'll wait. :rolleyes:

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

I think the prodution numbers here have changed faster than Reggie's speed record. :evilb:

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

Hey Fountain guys good news the boats for sale just dropped from 181 to 180. Somebody is a happy new beak boat owner . :D

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

:eek:

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

Better not let Jimmy hear ya talkin the smack. :eek:

After all his beak boat is faster than yours! :evilb:

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

call any of the manufacturers and check my numbers.....I put them up there and they have not changed.

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

I would think that most of the outerlimits were for sale just after they bought them,Demand I guess.I know of a few MTI's also


You all act like its winter ??? :eek:

Re: If Fountains are so good?
 

Those OL guys are on the 1 yr "lease" program I guess... :rolleyes: Maybe they all have A.D.D. cause they go thru boats faster than I can't change my underwear. :drink:
