Default fountain beat by outerlimits

Well what is Riggie going to build for 2004 after being beat by the Outerlimits gang. I was told he was upset after the shoot out. I have never had the chance to ride in a outerlimits or even drive one , but at the poker runs they look like one good boat.

I'm sure Reggie gets SOME kind of feedback from what transpires on this site. I'm equally sure he gets the message from this board, even from those who are not enamored of Reggie personally, that he is expected to mount a serious bid to recover the V-hull kilo record that he (Fountain) has owned for SO long. OSO influence notwithstanding, OL's possession of the record can be measured in weeks. The Fountain record stood for YEARS. He'll get it back. Or die trying.

We have not heard the end of this.

Roux- Agreed big time....Fountain has had that record for so long it was kind of boring......and he doesnt even bother plastering "World Champion" on the side of his boats, if he listed them there wouldnt be enough room

Agreed! Bet we see him bust 150-mph by more than a little.

What would it take to gain the mph needed to get the title back?? New hull design? Different materials?? What king of engineering marvel would it take??? plus would Reggie spend the $$$ to get it done?

Just take a production 42 and drop in some silly 1400hp motors and it should get the job done.

Fountain is testing a 42' sit down boat with no cabin as we speak.
