From everything I've heard Mr. Fountain is a nice person who just loves boats. Never heard a bad word from anyone who has met the guy. Why the hate?
i dont think they hate him, i think the like to bust on him due to his choice of hair dye colors and mr t like gold chain collection... plus his boats gave a lot of other boats beak envy. lol

I will always have respect for Reggie and the real Fountain, and did before I was an owner. I know quite a few people that have switched brands for more cabin but still wear the gear and even fly the flag.

We all seem to hate on other brands and owners, but this one is the easiest because the man's name is on the boat, and he was every where. Besides Don himself, name a bigger celebrity in this sport? I sometimes wonder if Don was not shot if he would get the same heat.
reggie would have to stand on a ladder to zip dons fly. lmao

take a look at a few cigs before you buy a beak boat... just my .02

Announcement: Henry ford is no longer affiliated with the ford motor company. Don't blame him the next time you blow a head gasket on your 6.0l diesel.

I have looked at cigs. They can't compare with styling in my opinion. Also too slow for me.

I have to admit. I was climbing around on a 27' fountain the otherday. much bigger boat than I thought. could use a bit more freeboard/cockpit depth but all in all looked like a decent boat.

Mr. Fountain is a good businessman and this is the proper way to protect himself and his customers ... A class way to do business and continue to do business , which he is now doing... Mr . Wm Gates met Reggie and was impressed enough to back him in his new venture ; that is good enouigh for me , for what that is worth... John G. Douglas
