Genmar after Bankruptcy, Fountain, others

Saw this in Boat-US magazine - interesting graphic of what has happened with boat manufacturers:



See ya on the water!

Gone,
Is that a direct copy of the article?  If so, it's not accurate.  Hydra-sports gets the little solid diamond (MasterCraft), and Liberty gets the little flower (Donzi/Proline)...

So is Fountain now owned by the same folks as Donzi and Proline?

This is true...

Interesting!  I wonder how Reggie will get along with the others....

The same way Reggie gets along with everybody else...

You mean the other guys don't like diamond necklaces that say "reggie" and bimbettes that need to be watered every week?

Gran,
Actually, if you knew Proline/Donzi's president, well, he's not that much different than Reggie, just a little toned down, but still with an ego the size of Mt. Rushmore!  They all have it, I mean, look at Joe Neber at Contender!

Reggie's just a little more over the top than the rest of them...but they build fast boats, you can't fault them there...

[gran398]

Absolutely, they're fast. And not being a smart a$$ here, but do all of them porpoise, or just the old 29's?

What, Fountains, or Donzis?

G-man - didn't you sell Reggie that necklace?!   :joker:    

[gran398]

Naw, guess its just a bad case of jealousy showing through.... .....but, I did quote P Diddy a price on a P Diddy necklace....or was that Flav O' Flave?............

I know that Genmar ended Aquasport production in 2005, but what happened to the brand, is it 100% dead, or can someone buy the naming rights from whoever owns it and start building Aquasports again?
