The 42 Lightning is the most illustrious race boat in history, winning more world and national championships than any other V-bottom in world history. It shattered the world speed record eight times with the fastest two-way average of 171.883 mph. It has done more than just win, it has totally dominated race courses over the past two decades.

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...

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...
