Wanna float me a loan?
Seriously, Skaters are phenominal...quite possibly the best performance boat in the world. The factory is amazing, the layup and technology in the boats are top-notch...and the finished products do their talking on the water. But if you don't understand the difference between the two companies...and the required advertising and marketing techniques for each nameplate...well...you ain't gonna beat a Ferrari with a Corvette.

Are you calling me stupid? I thought my point had some validity?
Or is the fact that I don't have the scratch to buy myself a new work-of-art every year detrimental to the power of my opinion in your eyes?
There is really no reason for people to get all fired up over this...I don't get it. And for the record...if I did have the money, I'd be in a Cigarette, so no, it has nothing to do with the fact that I own a Fountain.

So every time this boat goes anywhere and does anything...good or bad...it gets talked about all over here...
Since we are all such know-it-alls on the subject of offshore powerboats, Reggie's marketing ploy is looked upon with a large degree of derision. But to the average Joe on the water who thinks Fountain makes a killer boat...well...this would tend to attract him to the brand, no?
Anybody who knows the FIRST THING about marketing is well aware of the saying: ANY publicity is good publicity. Nuf said.

Reggie needs to fire his advertising people and start over. All the shinanigans and b.s. He throws throws around take away from his legit/numerous accomplishments. Only problem with firing his ad guys is I suppose he'd have to fire himself!

Well, there's also false advertising as well. Oh well, maybe Reggie will have better luck at the next run.
