Last I checked, Intrepid still has an approximate 20 month waiting line for new boats.

Intrepid is a WHOLE different animal. It's in a category of their own. Mainly due to a healthy part of their market being the mega and giga-yacht crowd

He could do warranty work on every fountain sold before the br since I'm sure the new company will not.

I am with Race Girl - Best of Luck to them all!

+1

Fountain may do better than Baja if the stated 85 employees remain on the payroll. The Baja brand has a #1 salesperson in place that knows Baja DNA, but he can't do it all! Hard to start with brand passion right out of the gate! I wish anyone in the boat business well.

Any more mergers and we will be buying boats from "ProInSonFounDonSpecBa"

Possibly Powerplay by Steve1? PPS1?
