Oh my gawd! I can't believe I have to respond to this.

You read wrong. Mark Tuck is a good friend. Some of us in the know...
...know that Reggie didn't like a beautiful Donzi in his backyard playground. Reggie & Shogren made Mark a sweet deal to take the Mark's 26 and 38 Donzis in on trade and put him in a one-of-a-kind 42 Fountain. And my facts are straight on everything else too.

You can go back and check your AT facts when you are done pedaling your bike. http://www.wsu.edu:8001/~brians/errors/pedal.html

What did it run?

What size and what motors?

You must be a great friend to continue taking away from his win, even though I proved you wrong in reply #7. The purpose of this thread was to congratulate Mark for his effort and for representing the brand. It looks like you have been doing this for a long time, so I am sure you can appreciate the amount of blood, sweat and tears it takes to participate in an event like the shootout - without breaking, let alone winning. If you have something to say outside the scope, show a little respect and start your own thread. Now back to the subject.

I'm pretty sure Sydwayz was refering to RaggedEdge in post 8.....who "struck" first. Mark has heard from everyone here locally how sweet his boat is! Congrats again Mark!

how about some pics of this rig.....:)

Nice job Mark, congrats.

congrats Mark! THE BOAT IS SICK!
i was wondering where he was this past weekend :D:
And im sure Sydwayz was referring to the fact that Mark traded a beautiful Donzi in for a even more beautiful Fountain

Thanks everyone for the kind words and thank-you TX427 for starting this thread.....also Sydwayz is a good friend and would never demean our accomplishment and he is correct that our boat is a "one of a kind" as far as the paint scheme and interior.....other than that it is a run of the mill 42...I do have the advantage of being good friends with Brian Forehand so the boat is definitely dialed in and probably performs a little better than average....the Shootout is a fantastic event...between the crowds, the hardware, the pokerrun, the nightlife and the shootout itself, its hard to beat ...and BTW when the run is over and everyone is leaving the lake gets unbelievably rough....we ran up against a few big power Outerlimits and Cigs in the rough stuff and lets just say we busted a few high performance boat myths as far as rough water handling...:boat:

Congrats Mark..nice job.

Your boat has one of the best paint schemes I have seen. It is beautiful. Might be a little hot here in south Texas. Congrats on the win. We are thinking of coming to the Shootout next year. My 42' handles everything you can throw at it. It is definetly a myth as far as who has the best and fastest rough water boat.
