Pete B got took some beautiful pictures (as always). Here are the 2 Fountains. Hopefully Pete has some running shots. Unfortunately the only helicopter with us when the Fountains got what they had coming was Fountains. I doubt we will see any pics or photos from them.
Pete, If you have any running shots of us please let me know, I'd like to buy them. Thank you Mike |

I believe that boat is a 47 "de-beaked". :grinser010: |
Hard to believe they would do this with the following hanging over their head-
Fountain independent accounting firm, Gregory & Associates, included a letter in the boatbuilder’s Sept. 29 annual report that raised doubts about Fountain’s ability to stay in business. “The company has current liabilities in excess of current assets, recent losses from operations, negative cash flows from operating activities, and has significant debt compared to the underlying equity,” the accounting firm said in the Sept. 16 letter accompanying Fountain’s annual report. “These factors raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern,” the accounting firm said. |
Dont believe what you heare about Reggie being in trouble. one or two trips to the pawn shop with a couple gold chains and they have tremendous cash reserves!! :party-smiley-004:

Good job guys, hope to see you at the "Worlds"
Sounds like you guys had a blast, the motors in the three boats were a bit different that you suspect.
The "Cash Killer" has Sterling 1550's. The "Rio Roses" boat has 750HP Super Cat Motors. The 42 Poker Run (open canopy) boat running behind you had Mercury 1075's. LUBE JOB QUOTE - "Reggie showed up with both cat killer boats, full race crew, helmets, jackets, helicopter etc". As fast as you were going I feel Helmets, Oxygen and jackets should be worn. "If" something happened at least they would be having breakfast talking about it. Wish more events would require safety equipment over certain speeds, we have had to many casualties because we have not taken time to prevent them. Hope to see you at the "Worlds" in November Regards, Team Shogren www.chicagofountain.com Fountain & Baja By Fountain

Both Fountains looked very similiar. Both closed cockpit boats with bog power (not 1075's). It was not rough but it was very far from smooth as glass. It was probably 2 to 3 for most of the run. The only steering problem the fountain had was when he steered back into the other direction after we ran away from him the third time. Fountian was actually the joke of the noght at the party. An announcement was made to Reggie (which couldn't be there), he was thanked for coming to the run with his boats even though he honly ran them for 8 minutes! I think the Poker runs America home page will have something on it tomorrow.

Gino might have just put Fountain out of biz, you know they wanted some new video of them outruning everybody for the up comming boat shows so they can run it on a loop all dam day, I'm sure it didn't cost too much to send all those people and a chopper there for nothing. Great job Gino somebody needed to rub their nose in it.
