Ever since Liberty Associates took control of Fountain and stuck them in with the other boat co. there was this thing on the forums with will they do it the Reggie way or their own way and now it's going to be their own way.
Interesting reading all the forum talk about this over the months with people saying no Reggie then it's not a Fountain ... so the big question is was Reggie so instrumental in each persons head when they paid over the readies for their new boat or was it just the Fountain brand they subscribed too, many believe like him or not a Fountain does need a Reggie as they are so sinonimos together and what happens if Reggie goes of and starts a new Foun-Tain co. where will Liberty Associates stand only time will tell
Reggie's remains leave the building! Reggies remains may haunt the building

On my only trip to the miami boat show, I remember looking at the Fountain stand. It seemed once you'd paid your depo and signed the finance ........ you got sheparded into a little cubicle to meet "the man". It was hilarious.

From my understanding, that was what don aronow used to do. Seek a company and then start one up down the road. And I ease say we have it over here with the steve baker built phantoms. Not a dig just an observation. Paul.

Tragic news. Where will we go no now to buy the Fastest, Safest, Best Handling Boats In The World.
Thank you Reggie for inventing the pad keel, notched transom, stepped hull, bimini top and other innovations too numerous to mention.

Lunch with Reggie, What, have I got this right, Lord Ring to visit the house of many wigs, is this some ploy to have beaks on every new Ring will the 21' become the new 28' with beak and bathing platform ... this is all very confusing
Meanwhile Reggie has made a new video ...
http://www.xtranormal.com/watch/8029869/
You also forgot Reggie set anouther milestone ... in his words ... ''We’ve sold more than a billion dollars worth of boats since we started selling beaks,”

Yes. He's also invented eggs, mud and autumn. One would expect no less of a former life insurance salesman with such striking fashion sense.

I was standing next to him last year and it's just unreal that someone with his money(at the time) has no mirrors in his house. I looked like a young kid staring at a midget. You really cant help but stare it him and he truly thinks he looks great.
