Fountain Building Boats to Order
Caught up with Wyatt Fountain today, http://www.boats.com/boat-content/20...l-dealerships/.
Compared to what Fountain once produced, one to two boats a week isn't much. But the company is alive and Fountain was positive about its present state and optimistic about its future.

I certainly hope building only a few boats a week will help them get their quality back up where is used to be. The last few I saw were not up to Reggie's usual standards at all.

Martin Sanborn was definitely a key figure at Fountain for a long time, but he hasn't been with the company the company for several years.
Martin is currently the director of North American operations for Powerboat P1 USA.

Strip Poker yep the parts dept is open. I am ordering new vinyl skins for my upholstery.
I love my 38TE Fountain. It has been an excellent boat for the 5 years.
Only thing I wish Fountain would do better is clean up the electrical wire rigging under the helm....it is aweful!
