Wonder if the scumbags paid the money to the RPBA for the Shriners hospital?

I think they will be fine in the long run. They have a great product and great customer service! Who isn't having a hard time in this economy?

I doubt that Fountain will be liquidated. Its not a trivial operation like, say, Magic. Its been building 500 boats a year for a long time. There isn't much debt, surprisingly, and there are a lot of real assets. Probably "just" ran out of cash.
11 allows continuing operations while holding off creditors. Might be enough to make it to the Miami Boat Show.

Thats just my take on it, but i'm pretty sure I have been wrong once before.

It's Fountain so it is more than likely actually Chapter 7.5
Hope it is not Chapter 9 with the steps???
All kidding aside tough times for the whole industry.

The reason I don't think they will in fact liquidate is because the company is worth far more as a company than as equipment.
From the last 10K (June 2008), they had about 38M in debt, and about 90M in assets, so there is a lot there.

Dam guys cut the company some slack, hope they come through one of the best boats being built now.
