Great thread! Looking forward to the end results. It's nice to see Reggie posting here. I spent some time with Reggie, Wyatt, Clayton Kerby, etc. back in 1997/1998 while running Jim Horn Powerboats in Lighthouse Point, FL. I did quite a few boat shows and became one of the fastest growing Fountain salesman/dealers in the southeast...I ultimately moved on to become the factory rep for Active Thunder; and Jim Horn Powerboats eventually faded away. I was always impressed by Reggie's pride and professionalism. People may not like his ego but his outspokeness helped build the offshore boat industry! If I ever get back in the boat business..I would work for R.F. powerboats!!

Update:
We have worked out all the final kinks in the re-rig of the boat with RF. We decided to raise the drives on the transom as high as possible and then space the lowers down as far as they can to fit 6 drive cleaver props (17x38), while still keeping the x dimension above the bottom of the boat if possible. We are going to stick with 1:50 gears and the SCX lowers..and change out the prop shaft to a 6 shaft to accept the cleavers. RF is going to re-work lowers to try to get a little more speed out of them. Engines are shippng from Crockett on Friday. Its starting to come together!! |
hope you can get some pics to us .

Next time I talk to Reggie Ill see if he can post some pics.
