A few reasons..just that one boat is different from the ones that will be produced, possibly 1200's disguised as 1075's, super light layup..could be many reasons..If you've noticed I have never, never, committed on any of those Cat Killer threads. Ive always given Fountain the benefit of doubt, and find that their boats are descent, especially for what they charge...But on this test...I call B.S. somethings up. You dont gain 20 plus mph over night against one of the badest sit downs produced (399) and has showed it's worth on the race course...UNLESSS...Again REGGIE has done it...he truely knows how to market...another press release. Maybe it will help the stock go up.


I looked it up 133.6 August of 07..Tested against 6 boats.

And none of the cat guys can talk crap about it being a race boat with no lid, that's a huge reason why the cat boats are faster to begin with... none of them have the extra weight of cabins.

Thank You..So a PR version is 20mph faster..How much weight do you have to take out to go 20mph faster...:rolleyes:

My point is simple..Reggie is at the top of his game as having one of the fastest if not the fastest v-bottom to date.. KUDO's..but... how in the hell can you change or re-invent something different of a lay-up other than what Mike does for OL, or DR who lays boats up..He's been down that road before..it's not rockit science. There's more power in the boat or something else with that particular boat in which will be different from others sold... If you can prove otherwise..I will admit I was wrong..Jeff Jassby
