I really hope Fountain as a company and Reggie make it through this Chapter 11.
I have not had the honor of doing a boat with the legend at this point.
Was hoping we could have partnered in a V bottom speed record attempt together.
Who knows what the future will hold.

Good luck guys.

Kinda funny --- a thread asking if there`s anything better to discuss than the Fountain chapter 11 news has turned into yet another thread about Fountain`s chapter 11 news .

This is NOT the correct forum to discuss needlepoint or baking cookies.


This IS the correct forum to discuss PERFORMANCE BOATING NEWS.

Cause they are!!!
There seem to be quite a few people glad to hear the news. For the record, I'm not one of them. I hate to see anyone fail.
