Time to let Fountain die. The man with the passion is no longer there to make them what they were. Concentrate on the Baja line. Good luck though

With the number of compliments on beautiful one or two-tone hulls, I'm still surprised to see 20 plus year old graphics on some expensive performance boats nowadays. Jut my opinion, but the new 30 OL GT looks like what you'd get if you crossed a Glastron with a Larson, then took some decals off a 90's era boat. Seriously, some new talent and design has to be brought in. The new top guy is named John Walker too.

Cigarette is doing just fine... why can't Fountain?? I do agree someone special needs to be involved, not a Sea Ray type of builder...

That's great news, Matt! So it went full circle from "Baja by Fountain" to "Fountain by Baja". Who'd of thunk it. Welcome back Donzi, I knew you wouldn't go away. This is really good news for the industry!

The founders of these companies could have been resurrected from the dead and you guys wouldn't be happy, this is great news. Say what you want, someone may actually be able to buy a new one of "these" again.
