How close is the MTI booth to the Fountain one at the Miami or Lauderdale show, They should put Ginos boat as close as they can to where Reggie is so he can look at it longer. I plan to go by and poke some fun at the shows.

Just got a call from someone and give me the whole run down.
Reggie flew in with Wyatt Fountain, Ben Robertson, Jeff Harris, Reggie jr in Reggies plane. They were there for one reason. New video.
I heard the video is in the editing room. The only problem is it's going to show Cat Killer in front and passing of other cats. Apperently the Mercedes boat is not going to make the final cut. I heard the Mercedes boat is not going to be shown at all, like it wasn't there. I'm sure this will start a lot of talk.
I have one thing to say, If Cat Killer isn't shown passing the Mercedes boat, then where is it??
I'm pretty sure we were there!

I don't think Reggie is trying to sell any of us on OSO boats. He knows we already have our boating preferences and are likely not to change. He is targeting the first time performance boater or the out of the loop boater who is not on OSO.
Just my opinion.

Here is my guess. For a promotional Fountain video it will be great for them. It will show the V-hull in front of most of the cats. They just simply forget about the little detail of getting beat by one cat. They were in front of the Bud Light boat which looks just like a race boat. Gold Digger is an Outerlimits cat that looks like a race boat with the canopy. Fountain is probably going to exploit the heck out of that. Even though Bill has told us he had his wife in the Gold Digger boat for a nice ride not a race. The video will make it into a race. Love him or hate him, Reggie sells a lot of fast boats.
Not only did I have my wife onboard,we had WIVES with us. Plural. Nice joy ride

Suppose for a minute something had gone wrong, and the whole mess wound up in court. Could any jury ever be 100% convinced that Fountain wasn't culpable for provoking a fight in the wrong environment? It was like flashing gang colors in the wrong neighborhood, and then pulling the guns out. They were looking for trouble, and only got a little. If there had been a crash, they would have gotten a LOT of trouble.
