That would be no surprise to me. I was on the river Sunday, and rode up to the factory. There were Sea-Doos, Wave Runners and Jet Skis on trailers in the lot. Looks like he is scopping out the competion.

But the most impresive thing has to be a 40ft mast on the new blow boats with the Fountain Logo on the sails. Really takes your breath away!

It's only down fall will be the surface drive. It comes out of the whole so fast you can't hold on. And well you get cut up like ground chuck! It's the small details like this that they have got to work out before taking it to production.

Reggie is a smart man to cover both bases, plus having the express cruisers fish boats and center consoles, he now has hit foot in every aspect of the boating industry. Now no matter what direction the market goes, he can adjust production and be set with a profitable position in the market. wasn't part of the delisting debacle due to too many eggs (merc) in one basket. now with full scale diversification whats to hold Reggie back?

agreed

A couple of guys that work for him are really into fast PWC's. One Waverunner with an external prop and rudder has run 106 MPH!
