I'll remember that one, Hey, your boat may perform better, but I purchased a high performance boat because of the difference in the rigging!

You could also tell us what 38 foot long 42 Fountain your running and where you are from, there's enough people here swinging others dicks around. Don't forget to post some pics of your Enzo while you're at it...
When we'll need an expert in depreciation we'll call you.

Re: Cig hires Ben Robertson
You know about this overall length thing....Fountain swim platforms and the dry ride beak are standard items.
So your assuming a 38' Cig will ride as good as a 42' Fountain?
Thats not a fair comparision.

Anyway, all Reggie did was take Howard Pipkorn's Hydrostream design (of which Reggie raced many) and stretch it to 42 feet.

Re: Cig hires Ben Robertson
I think that 171 mph in a V-bottom is one of the top two or three highlights of modern high perf boating. I've done few crazy things in boats, but NOTHING compared to that. I take my hat off to Reggie and Ben.

People here with worthwhile opinions are known beyond the anonymity of their computer. I have met and boated with hundreds of them and they all know that I'm an idiot... They deserve to call me so and often do over some pops.
So until you show what you got except theories developed from reading Powerboat in your orthodontist's bathroom, all you are is a knob.
Oh forgot...
