I think it's a generational gap. Look at muscle cars. They kind of disappeared for a while and have been back strong. As the boats continue to dry up people will start clamoring for new ones. Everything goes in cycles.

May be some truth to that. One of the reasons I still like a go fast is I like to drive performance vehicles, cars, bikes, boats.

To get the same performance in a CC that I have in my little fountain is way more then I can afford, and I still like driving. No different then when I bought a Harley, sure it's kind of fun to ride but nothing like my DUCATI. Take both down a mountain road and there is no way I would pick the slow nice riding HD.

Just me, been a gear head since me and my dad build my first go-cart when I was 7.

I have all the respect in the world for what Reggie has done, talked to him several times, Sure he has always been over top and fun to make fun of, and he gets a laugh out of it. Good to see somebody back doing what they love. But 200 in a Vee? No disrespect intended but that boat needs to be named the reggie killer. 200 mph is so far removed from what a 42 foot or 47 24 degree vee was every designed for. i wish them luck but its like trying to do precision surgery with the electric carving knife Grandpa uses to carve the thanksgiving turkey, hooked to 220v.

My only thought here,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Where does the co-pilot line form up? I'd pay real money for that front row seat to show.

P.S. reggie should be Reggie, just sayin'. I am sure he would be fine with King Reggie as well. Just sayin'.
