Angry miami boat show

Fountain had one forty two that was a 2009 they also had three center consoles.I was very disapointed.They didn't even have any sports wear to purchase.Formula didn't have any fastecs in the show except one in the water at another location they didhave plenty of sport boats.The big winner was cigerette as always a great showing. For a small companny Sonic had a fortyfive thirtyone and a centerconsole.

Maybe if they had gotten the bank deal done earlier they might have had time to build some new models.

WOW, I am surprised, I know they have some 2010's at the factory or I guess being built. Honestly it was probably a matter of cost, Miami SHow has got to be stupid expensive and they charge by the sq foot.

Donzi wasn't there. They did have a 38ZR in the mercury slip at the marina.

Cigarette had a great display that definitely portrays an image. Past and future customers paid for/ will pay for this image. Great marketing of some very nice boats.

Statement made a big statement with some over-the-top show boats and a way cool display.

Fountain at least made it to the show. Yes it was no where near the displays of some others but they were there. I thought registering visitors so that dealers could identify potential customers from their area was a very supportive move by Fountain. Traveling around Miami and at the show I saw more Fountain hats, jackets, shirts, etc being worn than probably all other mfg.s combined so there is still a lot of customer loyalty.

Donzi is still in business building and selling boats. Going to a boat show is very expensive. Good to see Fountain made it.

I'm very disappointed in Donzi. I was just a the plant in sarasota to pick up some parts for the ZR and there were plenty of boats being made. Didn't look like they were struggling at all
