the only problem is that Fountain is too dam fast....:lolhit:

I like them all ,Big V's and Cat's my question is what do the big (fast) v guys have against loto.
by the way we are building all v's in the shop this winter ,42 fountain,38 twin step gun,38 straight bottom gun,308 profile!

Heres your flat water kitty rock star Big ones great big giant ones http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LF6ttOP-NeIlol

Damn bro! Not dogging fountain at all. Cat killer is a badazz boat but there are a lot fast cats out there especially 6yrs later. I'd like to see a video of cat killer in 6ft waves?? I'll never own a cat cause I enjoy waves way to much. Also didn't know u had to own a fountain to comment on a poker run video that Reggie considered a race in the fountain forum. My bad big daddy!! Back to surfing around in the areas for people who don't own a boat right now!!! Oh but by the way I'm not boat less!!

I think what is missing here is OL is still in the buisness. They ran a 52 footer about 140 mph. That is a big v team. Also they spent a lot of their effort on the new 29. I think what you are thinking of.... It's more people w fast cats doing poker runs and the big v's are mostly at the real races. You can make a cat faster w less money in the drive train. However, I saw a 38 canopy race boat at loto this year as well as OL in their 52,29. It would be the equivilent of Quater or Still showing up to a shootout. .Kinda like cherry picking. Nobody else can make a big v go 170 so why show up? I think until Fountain designs a new better hull . They have no reason to show up. Also they still have the fastes V so what insentive do they have to design a better hull. Their's is still the best for speed. Maybe ( hopefully) the 25th annual will spark some interest. I know I'm coming.. All the way out there .. Am I wrong?

25th Annual ?? A get-together being planned ?

I know Al will be there with his 38 with 7 hundreds. He ran the very first shoot out so we can count on him. TLR 505 will most likely have his boat dialed in this year. So I would say he might run and possibly 575 cat.from what I saw on the Internet there was a few fountains running. I am spending hours on my boat and the outdrives hoping I have a competitive program. It is a long drive for me 1700 miles. But from what I saw on the internet this year with Bob Teague m c ing it. It looks like a blast something I don't wanna miss.

it would be really cool to get a whole bunch of fountains all together and take 1 huge fountain picture.

Great video, love it !!

Can't we all just get along... I have owned a couple fountains and drove it faster than most! I had a 35 at over 100 and my 42 ran 120 (for sale at Pier 57). Now I own a cat and you can't beat the ride, the acceleration, and the speed.. You just can't. Now you take a one off 1800 hp experimental race boat and run it 180 and you are going to out run just about everybody at a poker run period. Now a days you better be careful though as there is a cat or two that can straight out get it! I can name 5-6 off the top of my head that can push 200 just about every day and you don't see them running around saying... "Fountain Killer! or OL Killer!" Technology is a wonderful thing and you put a set of 1350's in a DCB, MTI, Skater, or a Nortech and see ya! What about the 36 Skater Sterling is putting the 1700's in... HOLY faster than a speeding bullet batman!!

Pleasure boat for pleasure boat I love both boats but the cat is faster pound for pound, HP for HP.. It's just physics folks.

That being said I have the utmost respect for the man who made all our dreams come true.. I got to meet Reggie in Jacksonville this year and I was almost in awe just because he IS the man!!!!

still a great video.....

I was there too. I'm a Fountain fan so I was excited to see its run. he boat I was in was nowhere near the fastest but a good time nonetheless.

Give credit to the man that put up enough money so the technology could meet his ego.
