Skater, MTI, Cigarette, & quite a few other performance boat companies, have factories that aren't on the water. Skater being in Michigan, gets a few FEET of snow every year outside of their factory.

Not being on the water & having Winter conditions hasn't slowed any of them down!

Back in the day, I was scrambling to get my race boat running, Reggie came over to me, (no I was not racing a fountain, but in the previous race, I had won, against one of the big name fountains), he offered his parts trailer, and assistance, for what ever I needed.

I never owned a Fountain, I have been in several. Reggie and company have built the V-bottoms, in the world, for many, many years. Just look at the race records.

Best wishes to Reggie and the entire Fountain family!

Didn't a guy named Don Aronow start and sell several boat companies? Did he get criticized?

Good luck Reggie.... I look forward to your next winning entry!

Brown-noser!





:lolhit:

I liked the last lines of the article. Does not really apply comparing KFC and Walmart to this deal.
What if Colonel Sanders and Sam Walton did not die, they left those businesses and started new ones with tastier chicken and margins cut in half to sell even cheaper ? Would those businesses be as healthy today ?

The new owners wrote a check. Time will tell if they can build and market Reggies line of boats successfully.

In my mind, its like Fountain building Bajas. They are no longer Bajas. Somebody else building Fountains .... they are no longer Fountains. You can call them whatever you want, but to me, its the Fountain families passion for the sport that made them Fountains.


Best of luck to all the generations of Fountains :cool:

Who where the ones that made the design changes to the hulls?

Did they work for fountain or was the design worked contracted out?

Do they still work for Fountain? What I am getting at who really was behind the hull improvements, or was it a team effort and where is that “TEAM” now?

Hummm....there was talk like that on this Baja thread:
