IMHO they need to ditch one of the brands. Too much brand overlap like GM had. Although im not sure it matters as much (cost wise) in the Boat manufacturing as it does in the auto industry.

thats a shame to because it wasnt like that before. All three of those were very distinct and very successful in their own right. I would hate to see any of those shelved.

I'll give ya a buz the end of the week Jeb.

They are going to combine the Fountain and Donzi brands. The FONZI brand will be the coolest boat of all time. AAAAAAAAAAHH

Being in California, Donzi's were rare, but everytime I saw one, I would be at the dock with 10 other people admiring it. Bought one a few years ago, same deal, folks flock around it like it is a rock star......
The plus is, it is a great boat.

Talking

I don't know about Fonzi Boats, I kinda like the sound of BaDonzi Boats! I guess we could settle on BaFoDonzi huh?

Best Regards,

Reggie has been gone from Fountain Power Boats (the original company) for awhile now. Reggie and his two sons opened a new business venture under the name Fountain Performance Marine. (www.fountainperformancemarine.com)

FPB and FPM are two totally separate companies.

It'll be interesting to see what comes out of this FPB mediation settlement. It sure would be nice if Reggie was be able to buy back all his original company assets necessary to start building the full line of Fountains again. Personally I'd never consider buying a Fountain unless Reggie was overseeing the company and quality control process.

Reggie is Fountain.
