DollaBill is correct. We were both convinced a 42" PR with big power would be an unbeatable Vee.

It would also be thre only Fountain I would EVER consider owning.

Yea, TD was right. I've never had any "fast" boats. LOL (had to)

"Doc" Mike Jensen is a neighbor at my LOTO marina. This boat originally had Mercury 600SC's before going back to Fountain for the 1075's. Have driven the boat and it really accelerates and handles very nicely. JT is going to give Doc & his son a couple days of personal instruction on high speed driving of this boat in a couple weeks.

Get one of the guys on here to give a ride in a cat vs v the same day same water. CatCanDo up here (Barry) convinced my wife. Still lost though when the difference in insurance quote came through. (Of course the BT cabin vs the Mares cabin also had something to do with it).

Ya and a 42 PR with same power I bet rips it a new one.:cool-smiley-011:

Like Ive said Sharkey its better to see them just settle it on the race course, two great boats, great competion, its what its all about and great for the sport. Lets work on more of an MTI Skater rivalry for cats, cause this one is set for the vees. This is what makes it fun!!!:cool-smiley-026:
