Re: What's this about Reggie not wanting Mike to play?
If racing offered a decent return on investment, more companies would be racing. As it stands right now, it costs a lot of time and money, the racing organizations themselves are (as usual) a political mess with inconsistent rules, a lack of sponsors, and no TV deal to increase a small fan base.
Spending several hundred K to run a race team for a season to maybe sell another boat or two isn't good economics, especially for a lot of the small guys. Companies like Cigarette, OL, etc probably get a lot more interest in their boats from doing the Poker Run circuit than they ever would from racing OSS/SBI/APBI/ABC/XYZ/PDQ, etc etc.

win , loose , draw, fountain is the record holder. his boats go fast, turn hard, and take a beating. i am not nor will ever be a coat tail ryder, but professionally speaking ,other's in the buisness do need to give as much as they have recieved from the industry as mr . fountain has. it would lead to more exposure as a whole and probably due more for racer's and poker runner's alike. as well as pleasure boater's.
p.s this bad boy finishes 2 nd in p2 wed's.

Theres alot of nice choices other than Fountain. Big guys don't fit for one. It's tight and I am 5'9".
I do have to say that Dania race on OLN was rough 4-6' and the Rio and Intimidator were riding smooth,level at 112.
Fountains aren't wave crushers, they skip over the top.
They WILL pound you if you don't go fast enough to puddle jump.
