He who has the most advertising dollars wins...Period. Just like back in the '90s when Reggie, piloting his own 10meter got his azz handed to him by a po-dunk boat builder in Alabama in a 21 footer called a Stryker. Hot Boat Mag covered the test session and after his azz was handed to him, Reggie told the mag that if any of that got printed he would pull all of his advertising in the mag. Big surprise here, that article never ran...Stryker (who did not have an advertising campaign with the magazine) eventually went out of business & Fountain is still the chit (according to the propaganda).

Not really.
I don't like Reggie because of the constant big talk and the smoke & mirrors. He constantly plays the shell game on this Cat Killer thing. It's never straightforward.
He tells the world he builds the fastest, safest most well-built powerboats in the world. He builds the Chevrolet of offshore boats. Not bad, not the best by any stretch.
Sure he's done alot for the industry, but only through osmosis. He's done alot for himself. There are alot of builders that put together better boats that could be had for the same or less but have been crushed by Fountain. Fountain only survives because Brunswick desperately needs him to. He's a major conduit for their hardware. I'm glad I didn't invest all I had in the FPB stock at the IPO in '85. I believe it was $9. Had it followed the market (Dow closed out '85 at 1500), Reggies stock should be worth about $66 at yesterday's close. It closed at 95 cents. Ouch. So no, I don't respecty him as a businessman.
I'd respect the Hell out of Reggie if he just went out there, told it straight and did it- win or lose, fastest or second-fastest. But that's not him. He's a cross between P.T. Barnum & Napoleon Bonaparte.

I don't like big talk and I don't like bull$hit. I sure don't like fabrications and I really don't care at all for poor sportsmanship.
I know a handful of people who have accomplished unimaginable things in their lives. Some have made themselves and others very wealthy, others are 100% patriots and heroes. None of them say $hit about it. If it comes up, they keep to themselves. They know who they are and what they've done and so do the people around them. The respect is unspoken but readily apparent.
