hey thanks for the info and the great pics. with fountain/baja going chap 11, and the entire boating industry going down the pooper with a rocket tied to it, there really are some insane deals out there from inventories still on lots 2006-07-08-09's. let alone all these clowns who hung their ass out into space via the stock market or via screwball creative real estate and loans upon loans upon loans.
the boating industry being on the tail end of this entire debacle does give me ample time to be in the KATBIRD SEAT and swoop down and PREY ON THE UNFORTUNATE!
and after looking at just the central u.s. fresh water lakes ya cant swing a dead kat without finding a boat for sale let alone any other portion of the country with fresh water lakes including az utah etc.
my amigo and i discussed this at length today, and we about fell outta our chairs looking at some of these uber $$$$ boats going for unheard of prices.
im just looking for reliability for the long haul and some beans when i feel frisky or when i got to beat a storm and get into cover. and that has happened to me twice now with last boat and things got real ugly with wind lightning(mega mega lightning) waves and insane amounts of rain. monsoon storms sink alot of boats here, and if ya get hit by a microburst............well lets just say this.............."HOPE YA GOT A DAMN GOOD ANCHOR and 10-1 rode on it!"
guy i met in orlando has a 38EC fountain and has invited me and wifey to come out and spend a day on his boat ripping around. may take him up on it. fer sure gonna get a marine surveyor involved(aka PPI) as anyone with a porsche would also before buying.
boats are headaches alot of times like anything else, but when ya do it right, think things out, balance the goods/bads/uglys, and make some sound decisions they run like a top just like a 911.
buy LOW.............never sell..........bury me in it. a la a viking funeral!
latest rumor is fountain is getting picked up by a canadian consortium with deep pockets and reggie fountain may still be at the helm of the restructured company when it comes out of chapter 11.
