+1!!!!

I wonder if RF will take over campaigning the SVL Fountain team or will Liberty be showing Reggie a thing or two on the course?

Have a feeling not too many raceboats will be coming thru "Fountain" for quite sometime!!!!

My suggestion would be to lose a little ego and use a better performance sounding and market savvy name.

My thoughts exactly.

"Real Fast Powerboats'?? Sorry, but that doesn't have the ring of a quality product, but more of a knock off.

It's just a name and I kind of like it. At least it's not ReggieCraft

. Executioner is no doubt owned by Liberty along with Fountain.

Sounds like a recipe for disaster, why do you need a huge facility and hotel to build 6 boats? I would think he would be a little more careful with his money this time around.

Good luck though!

I think the hotel is a brilliant idea. I'm assuming there will be no extra charge for those picking up their boats or visiting to check progress. These will not be cheap boats and people with this kind of money need to be catered to.

I bet the property isn't a new purchase for him. Could be wrong be bet he picked it up over the years and probably paid off. Plus in this economy not really worth dumping for peanuts to downsize. Will make a good showroom for brokerage boats and for the size boats he's looking to build he'll need all the room he can get!
