I think maybe Reggie's being Reggie, but has no clue why the Bajas sold in the first place. Probably just a distribution assets he thought would benefit him.

Default Hope this helps until we know for sure.

Looks like a few of the Islamders, 26. 30. 35, 40 & 405. We will have final model selection shortly.

What is a slight up tick in price? I hope he doesnt price these things out of their current market...

Also, I read in the Shogren thread Fountain will only be making 11 of the current 26 models. Do we know which 11 will be made?

Thank you for replying here and in the other thread. Are you planning on being at the Michigan City boat show by any chance?

I never thought of that one - combine a GPS antenna with a pitot tube speedometer. Your passengers start taking your wish-o-meter seriously.

Did you watch the video? He says they ran 71 on Speedo, on GPS it "may" be a little less he says.

Livorsi uses a ROUND antenna and if its a GPS Speedo it has the letters "GPS" right on it!

With just a tiny bit more research you find a goofy shaped antenna they use for Sirius radio..............

Sirius antenna! You are so right, sir!

I bet Reggie will dial in the first 26 that goes to Powerboat Magazine real good, though.

Reggie will be filling in the steps and cutting off the noses of his Fountains, as we speak.
