Any halfway decent marinas over there that you could keep a live aboard boat at that would be reasonable to visit 90 days at a time to keep from having to become a Thai citizen to own property over there?

I witnessed Reggie Jr. doing it in a dealer's booth at a boat show once.

Public. If I was the dealer I would have been pizzed as the competition he was knocking was a line the dealer was also trying to sell at the show!

was not there so I do not know how that conversation went,but I will tell you this back in 1999/2000 at the Chicago boat show I was at the Sunny booth talking to the owner and asking questions about the 32,Joe handed me a tape (vhs lol high end at the time) and he told me to watch it and I would see how the competition does not come close to them,,so I did not take that as someone knocking the competition I took that as someone been proud of what they built.
so with that been said, I would not respect any boat manufacture if he did not talk highly of his boats!because if he does not believe they are the best how the heck would he expect me to believe they are the best.

so lets face it,we have the never Trumpers out there and no matter what he does they will talk $h!t about him,so here we also have the NeverReggie group,no matter what the guy has done for the sport,all the trophy's he has won,all the people that worked for him and supported their family's for over 30 years,all the people that own and love his boats,,for what ever reason the NeverReggie group will always find a reason to tell you why his boats are not what we think they are..but I am ok with that and never lost any sleep of what people think of him or his boats.

I like Fountains. Big fan of the 29 singles, 35's, and 42's. Reggie Jr. wasn't just talking highly of his brand but was also blatantly bad-mouthing the other brand basically calling them a POS. I'm all for promoting and bragging on your brand but there was no need to try and belittle the competition. Just left a bad taste in my mouth about Jr., not the brand.

Hey I agree 100% with you,like I said I was not there,if that is in fact how he talks about the competition then shame on him! or anybody else for that matter.
