Reggie was always good to me and I think a lot of him, but to start over at his age, I doubt it, and I also doubt that little Reg and Wyatt have the funds to start without serious help.
They're ready to build a 43 vee, 39 CC, or 40 cat.

With all due respect, who really cares, he doesn't own the molds, his ego kinda ran the company in the toilet...

He lost his company, the boat process is probably the same build process as they had them anyway. Who cares if he endorses them or not, of course he wouldn't endorse them...he's competing with them with RF!

This thread will turn into a cocktail party with plenty of Wine and cheese for all those who attend. It's been 3 years, build something new and shock the industry if you're so hell bent on it.

Why build new boats and cater to 1 percent of the boating population with offerings near 1 million dollars?
and doing what he did in the 80's...perfecting the bottoms and pulling molds

But what if the new Fountain company built a hull that allowed the water that accumulate in the bow to drain out of the boat ?
or
Figured out how to prevent that nagging water accumulation ?
Yes, petty but they built the best boat.
