Good luck Reggie! Sounds like some great running boats will be coming out of there!

Wow, if he builds 24 boats this year, that would be quite a few and a great start to his new company.

I've always thought that if Fountains just had a more custom touch to them, they would be right there with their competition in ALL categories, not just speed. I'm really excited to see how they come out.

Having 6 boats already spoken for has to feel GREAT to everyone involved. Having been able to track the progress of "The Statement" boats over the last year or so, who didn't have ANY boats sold when they launched their company that I know of (?), would have been a motivating factor for me since they are still pushing through a tough boating economy.

Best of luck to Reggie and family. It'll be very interesting to see what comes out of the new\old shop. If there are already 6 sold, that's a pretty good sign.
You're showing your age...

It will also be the Fountain Hotel for the people who come to buy our boats—there will be four guest bedrooms.

What facility are they using - isn't Liberty/Fountain still in the old Fountain factory making Fountain, Donzi, and Pro Line boats?
Mr. Fountain did not elaborate on the facility (and I did not get the chance to ask a follow-up question on it, but I will). I will be interviewing him again next week.
