What part of poor management decisions don't you understand? Hell he even admitted that in an article.
I wasnt saying it as a positive thing at all. Its exactly why he is where he is today.

Fountain wasn't a niche builder although a couple models of his were corvettes and a few ZR 1's, the rest are Malibu's, the classifieds alone on this site are indicative of that. The fact that a company sees enough in the boat market in this economy to invest and further production shows that there may be hope for a turn around in boat sales.

Too bring this thread full circle:

Does anyone here even know anyone that is seriously considering a purchase in the next 6 months of any of the 4 brands?

They can floorplan the 80MM worth of boats (16 dealers at 5MM min) but unless someone buys the boats it is just inventory that dealers are suffering with like they did in 07/08/09.
