I don't Gino was bashing Fountains, Its just Reggie. correct me if i"m wrong.

Reggie Fountain!

Love em or not, he is brilliant an many things, including marketing.

Undisputed world P1 champs, back to back years, and here we are again, the most active thread on the board, and Fountain is at the center.

The boats (the cats and Vs) looked great, ran great, and no one got hurt! That’s a great day of hi-perf boating.

I have been screwed in deals before too. guess what? It was my own fault and learned how to handle things different and to cover myself more. Move on. And you really can say with a straight face other manufactures dont bash each other...holy crap are you out of touch!!!! just as i sit here and watch tv Toyota and ford are running adds bashing eachother.

I am sure he would say different too, apparently along with being an ass, he has no integrity so what he say's would be irrelevant. Apparently you too feel its ok to screw someone that trusts you.By the way a competetive comparison on similar products like car manufactures do is common practice in the industry. However they don't "bash" as it would more likely reflect very negative on that manufacture like it did here for Fountain. Reputation is everything in business and I believe there are enough companies that practice intregity who want your business that you don't need to deal with one that does not. However I respect your opinion and I did learn a lesson, I wouldn't do business with Fountain. If he screwed someone he knows, how do people he doesn't stand a chance? Please, I am dying to know, are you pale white with a jet black fro and dress real tacky and have used terms like "cat killer" for decades? Did you pay your OSO membership yet?

Let's keep that going for while!

Summary - 2 years ago Reggie pulls a fast one and enters a PR with a race boat. Releases video with "proof" and claims Fountain V is faster than cats. Conspiracy theorists claim video was doctored, bad angles, it wasn't a race. Fountain fans say "prove it did not happen." What????

Cat owners feel violated - how dare Reggie say such mean things. Revenge plot is hatched to make sure they get him next time he tries his Cat Killer ambush.

2 years later - cat owners claim to their revenge. Every one feels justified piling on Reggie. After all, he is egotistical, arrogant, boastful, successful, etc. Everyone has an opinion and feels justified posting on an internet site (much to the delight of IB who is reeling from months of slow site response - they love to see someone else take a beating for a while).

Side bets are taken on how many pages this thread will end up at. Lot's of drama left waiting for the "mystery video". IB hopes it takes about a month to surface. Cat owners demand to see video now (reward is offered). Reggie says "what video?".

My guess is 40 pages by the end of October.

Have a great day everyone! Talking about boats sure beats work!

Does it really matter. I thought this was a poker run. Golddigger could have easily been first if I wanted to push it. We had a our wives with us and had no intention to run real hard. Too many egos

good stuff Gino...cant beleive the vid isnt up on you tube yet. that in itself is telling the true story

you opportunist...:D

I didn't mean to infer that Gino was bashing Fountain boats or Reggie for that matter, he was just beating them. From what I have read about Gino on OSO he is a gentleman. It's everyone else that seems to be doing the bashing, wheather they have driven an Fountian, rode in a Fountian, or even looked at a Fountian. Whenever I read a thread like this it never ceases to amaze how many people with no apparent connection like to pile on.

My only questions are, did the Cash/Cat Killer boats make to the first stop? And were there any V-Hulls that beat them? That sounds like it may be an interesting thread.

First three boats to the stop were all CATS!
