35 Fountain Lightning 2005....LOVE IT. Best boat buying experience we have had to date. Can't give enough praise to Randy & Von Hartmann, Lake Cumberland Marine for all of their help and patience, great people to deal with.

Bought my 24 Baja Outlaw used/private individual everything went as planned/expected. Sold it to a friend. The 292 Formula I have now I purchased at Boats & Such in Orlando from the owner(his personal boat) and have been more than happy with the experience so far, they have gone out of their way to make sure I was satisfied and went to Formula for me and had the formulaguard warranty transfered for me due to a paper work issue that was going to keep me from getting the extended warranty from Formula.

We bought a 1988 Cigarette Bullet from Kevin @ MidwestPowerboats in OK. We have put over 60 great hours on it with no surprizes!!! A blown drive coupler has been the only casualty so far and I've run the ever-livin' snot out of it every time we've been out!! 
I would recommend and certainly wouldn't hesitate to buy again from Kevin...next up....Top Gun!!

Bought a 2003 Gladiator from Randy Hartman at Lake Cumberland Marine. He met us at 9:30 on a Sunday night and spent two hours with us and then agian on Monday Morning. Great guy to deal with. He calls you back which is a lot more than most guys in the boating industry do. I would definately buy from him again!
