One of the best powerboats on the market IMO!

Reggie has got to be one of the 'best in MARKETING' when it comes to the boating industry-he knows how to 'work-it', imo.
btw, this is my all time favorite Fountain pic...

The first video is great for those who have no idea how to trim a boat onto plane! :respekt:

So their stock is trading today at $1.38. He may know how to work it, he just doesn't appear to know how to make money from it IMHO.

Not picking on the boats as their racing track record speaks for itself (period end of story). Just don't try and tell me that they are runnign a strong business......

Cheers!

I never said (or implied) that he is 'runnign a strong business...'.
I only said that he knows how to market the brand and himself...two different things...:smilie:
