I bet it rhymes with Ponzi........ They are the next town over from Nortech and recently got acquired by some venture capitalists along with Proline boats. They have not produced a boat in all of 2009......

I can't believe 5 people actually voted for Fountain! I'd like to hear the reasoning behind that!

I'm a big Baja fan and if this poll was posted 2 years ago I'd say they would've been counted in the upper 10% of people thinking they were doing well. Just goes to show, you never really know what is going on behind the curtains.

Hey Terry, care to stir it up a bit more??

Why did Nor-Tech pull their line from Fastboats?? Just curious, never heard the official story I don't think.

None are doing good or you would see them talking it up. Now some are surviving, and those are the ones who saved for a rainy day that turned into a monsoon. I would expect the smaller guys who have their building,molds, paid for and no dealer Floor to buy back are the ones surviving. Their is one on that list, that if they have to buy back just the boats LCM had I imagine they will go out of business.

Still a massive amount of fallout coming through from dealers that has not hit all builders yet.

Yea, I know they're not gone but the question is strongest boat company....A company currently going through BK and being sold to highest bidder is not (in my opinion) "strong" in this market.

I forgot they where close to Nortech.
Sounded like Reggie wanted the same group to buy him out.

To bad I was all ready with my new truck sticker.

TS- That was WAAAYYY too deep for the LIGHT entertainment that people use this site for.

Although, I bet OTHER will be making a strong PR showing for Key West.

Nordic is doing well with more models to offer than any other brand out there. They are building new boats every day.
