no i heard he had a pretty fast fountain was just wondering. but what size AO and whats the top speed of it, i think both will be fast but in smooth water get in the rough and the big dawgs take over.

Does his fountain have Derreberrys in it? If so it won't be fast for long......lmao That guy is a train wreck.
