Just my opinion.

I don't think so, I have yet to buy from the same builder, but Fountain doesn't have anything better than what I have had in the last 3 boats, and aside from a Donzi 38 ZRC the only performance boats I whould own now would be an OL or NT in a V-hull that is.

You didn't do so bad, you were still the first boat to the inlet!
I didn't have my wife with me but evem worse, I had my boat biotch Larry Goldman with me. I also would have ran harder if he was left back at the dock! I could harly hear my engines over his whining!

I think I had one of the smaller engine packages anyway after what I saw on the dock.
I enjoy bring my raceboat to the events. For me it is not a race but a big social event with comraderie like I had in racing.

I also represent PRA sponsor Rio Roses who likes me bringing the boat too.

So I'll keep bringing it and not threaten anyone by it. 80-90 mph for me is just fine. Remember, it's not a race, right?

A special thanks to Larry Goldman who was so gracious to us at the dock helping to get us situated in a nasty crosswind.

Nice Job
