Rio Roses would do very nicely as long as Speed Racer does'nt show up ready to race or any other Cats of that status. Never enter a gun fight with a knife. Speed Racer! :evilb:

I too would be pissed, At Reggie. Maybe he's not the master of PR after all ???

Re: Which boat would you rather OWN
 

Reggie and Fountain powerboats are going to do over $80,000,000.00 in total sales to it's dealer network this year........thats at dealer cost pricing, not retail..........and you think the stock holders are pissed.....right.

Re: Which boat would you rather OWN
 

My point being...I can guarantee you this...The little SR/RR publicity stunt did nothing but lower the opinion of Fountain by the very large majority (and raise opinion of MTI. I'm sure Randy Sism is the one that is sitting back laughing!!). I would say Reggies attempt at more sales through this action failed miserably and did nothing but lower his and his companies credibility. Keep up this kind of PR campaign and that 80 mil will drop.

Re: Which boat would you rather OWN
 

the stock has gone from over 4.80 to 4.05 in the last month, i bet his stock holders are just elated....

Re: Which boat would you rather OWN
 

Fred, 100% agree....Opinion, educated guess and speculation...That's 99.9 % of what is on OSO!! :eek: :D

Re: Which boat would you rather OWN
 

I'll take either one - both beautiful and crazy fast.

Don't see any fallout from all this. Reggie has been pulling these stunts and ruffling feathers for years. Its good to see a CEO out in the field shaking things up.. need more of them out there. As long as things stay safe all the banter is healthy for the sport. People read way too much into it all....he uses his big ego to rope in others with big ego's - subliminal bonding thing :D Performance boats are a very small part of the market... so the competition is tough and the bark is loud.

If anyone is laughing it's probably D'Amiballe at Sterling Performance. :evilb:

here is what it has done the last 5 years.

Re: Which boat would you rather OWN
 

Which would you rather own, would be like asking?????
would you rather own a Ferrari 612 Scaglitti or a Bugatti Veyron 16.4????.........the real question should be??????
would you rather have a new 42' MTI with Merc. 850HP and #6 drives for $795,000.00 or would you rather have a new 42' Fountain Poker run or a 42' Lightning and a full cabin with Merc. 850hp and #6 drives for $495,000.00......if you were paying for it?????????????????????????

Re: Which boat would you rather OWN
 

Price and insurance weren't part of the question. Just boat to boat. The Fountain is obviously priced less than the MTI.

...and I'd rather have the Ferrari than that ugly ass Bugatti. :D :drink:

Re: Which boat would you rather OWN
 

Speed Racer all the way!!!

Re: Which boat would you rather OWN
 

price and insurance is always a part of reality......people can always asked a question the right way to get the answer they want.......the big question is, what would you buy???? a MTI or a Skater????

Re: Which boat would you rather OWN
 

They are both the cream of the crop.

Any idea what a 42 Poker Run Fountain would run with 1075's?

Re: Which boat would you rather OWN
 

Man that's funny coming from a Porsche guy....... :rolleyes:

Can you say Carrera GT.......... :eek:

Re: Which boat would you rather OWN
 

I'd say in the 150ish range if a 42' FULL PLEASURE Lightning runs 136+......... :eek:

Re: Which boat would you rather OWN
 

wouldn't his latest purchase kind of answer that question? :rolleyes:

Re: Which boat would you rather OWN
 

Screw those MTI's. I would want to own the fastest boat in the whole entire world, Rio Roses!!

Re: Which boat would you rather OWN
 

Yes it does

Re: Which boat would you rather OWN
 

They are both great boats and both companies are really putting out some cool new stuff.

I think the one JC has big motors in runs like 138mph?? 42PR

Re: Which boat would you rather OWN
 

Lube, your boat is as pretty as a boat gets. when you look that good, who cares.

Re: Which boat would you rather OWN
 

I figured close to 150 as well. I think if you built a 42-PR from the ground up full custom, that it would be the baddest Vee you could buy for open cockpit pleasure.

Re: Which boat would you rather OWN
 

already abandoning your new found skater roots.... :drink:

Re: Which boat would you rather OWN
 

Well, that would work too. :D

Re: Which boat would you rather OWN
 

Thank you Blume

Re: Which boat would you rather OWN
 

I would rather own a 60 foot Sea ray and Cassie and her Maxim friends :drink: :drink: :evilb:
