Have been waiting to see some numbers from this boat, very impressive.
Too bad it never left the trailer in KW but do understand it has been a long project.
Thanks for posting Bullhead and congrats to Dustin for an awesome boat.

not like it matters but OL hasn't built half the number of boats fountain did. BTW, Reggie did these speeds 10 years ago. It's great and all but not ground breaking for sure

Pretty sure OL is not looking to be a production boat builder, there is a reason they only build a handful of boats every year!!!!!!! For the record, I have all the respect in the world for Mr. Reggie Fountain and the boats he built and what Reggie III is doing with RF marine!

All the respect to Reggie, he did amazing things for the sport. OL and fountain are different types of builders. You're comparing production/custom vs fully custom. Also, we're talking different time periods whereas there was no such thing as reliable/pleasure 1350hp motors available from companies like mercury and sterling. I don't think you can argue the speed/handling that OL is delivering in pleasure boats is quite a game changer-- and also not to say if Reggie was building custom boats right now he couldn't do the same. I wish he would do it, and make OL step it up even more... like MTI vs Skater. However, this is not the case and OL is putting out an impressive product which is great for the sport and a pleasure to see as a enthusiast like myself.
