Simply Awesome Reggie & Jeff!
Congratulations!
Any v-bottom running those speeds is impressive to me.
My hat is off to both Fountain & Outerlimits!

your argument for all of these facts doesn't make sense to me and I am sure alot of the others here..I know I wouldn't care if a boat ran 149.7 or 156 mph
do tell if speed over 145 is your deciding factor?
this isn't a bash fest, i would just like to know the angle that you seem to tear down someone elses hardwork be it fountain or outerlimits

I will be getting a used OL first, I'am am trying to get the No Discipline boat at NM, it will only go around 100-105 with the motors in it and will most likely stay that way for a while.
I won't buy a Fountain for the reasons Reggie had 40K of my dollars and wouldn't make a simple change to move the seat back, I got my $ back.
Top speed is not the only thing I worry about nor can I afford to always have the biggest motors to do it. The OL has a Bigger cabin witch is a must for me I am 6'6" and do spend some time in the cabin.
I could really care less if Fountain keeps the speed record forever, Of course I would rather OL had it but it's not the only thing I look for or want. My thing with it is to do it in a boat that you and me could go get if we had the means. We both know we can get it from OL, can we get it from Fountain? I don't know the whole deal there but hear we can't with that power.
If you have read any of my post about OL for the last year you will see I have been on there side and looking to purchase one long before they had the record I am not some fair weathered fan that only cares about the fastest boat in the water. My goal is to have a 40 something OL going 125 mph by 2006, I wish I could afford 1500 hp motors but I don't see that anytime soon but hey theres always the Lotto.
