I know...re-read my post. It all starts at the bottom though, in a publicly traded company. They continue to make their shareholders money, despite the severance package given to the exec.

You like your 35? Nice boats.
Cheers

These arent severance packages, they are bonuses.

Anyway - I love the thing most of the time - nah - pretty much all the time. Just picked up a set of BBlades lab Maximus from a friend who had them on his boat for a few hours. Mid-range is pretty nasty - 3800 @ 54mph. Hope these work cause they were'nt cheap

Are you sure they discontinued the 29', if you go to their website it doesn't list anything smaller than a 35' but in two sections:

"Build your own Fountain" and when you click on the "Get a Brochure - Full Fleet" the 29' Single and 29' Twin are still listed there?

I could see keeping the 29' and dropping the 27' & 32' since they are too close to each other in size and amenities which would tend to work against one size over the other.

Well i was talking about lee raymond and his huge retirement package(guess you werent)...400million? But the point remains. They made their shareholders lots of money, and are apparently deserving of bonus or big retirement severance packages. Even if they give them back it wont lower gas prices. Does it send a bad message to you? If it does than dont buy or invest in them. Glad you like your 35.....i need a bigger boat.
