Those "better" prepared boats can just as well come to an OSS race. You know, show em how it's done... :rolleyes: :D I think the interview with Reggie and Mike Fiore said it best... Reggie want's guys to come to his and Alweiss house for dinner and Fiore doesn't want to go to their house for dinner because he doesn't like they way they cook their food... :eek:

To say one is better than the other sounds condesending.. :drink:

That's not right Frank.

Mike did get the invite last year, showed up and then they locked the door... :rolleyes:

I don't blame him for not going back.

Mike made the effort, now let's see if the Fountain team will give him the same courtesy and try running against him elsewhere....

I was referring directly to the OSO interview, I know what happened last year and don't blame him either.

The Fiore family has had 30 + years to make their mark in Offshore powerboats, and they have in the pleasure boat market (and Poker-Run segment), and in racing too (on occasion). When it comes to racing in Super V, and Super V light (or similiar competive classes) for the past 10 years against Fountain what's the deal? Enough BS, Reggie Fountain has not been Outerlimits, nor Hustler's obstacle for heads-up racing, neither Hustler nor Outerlimits has won consistently against Fountain in these classes, and Outerlimits (OL) has been in business from what 1995 or 1994 (how much more time does OL need?) ? Michale Fiore makes a great boat, and if I made enough money to buy one of his boats, no question I would buy OL, but if I want to go racing and win CONSISTENTLY, Fountain is it (maybe now Skater, but not OL). Bull**** ain't' nothing, Fountain's winning record record speaks for itself. (if anyone can get OL to winning consistently it will be J. Sgro, so maybe finally OL will be the winner you suggest that they have been, and are currently)

TS, are you getting an OL once the Checkmate sells? With all the OL selling (defending, cheering, building-up you do for OL on OSO....ect), I would expect an OL for you in the near future. Which OL model do you have your eye on?

Unlike the 1 unseaworthy boat with the delamainated bottom that averaged what? 5mph and not complete any laps against no other boats for a World Title ..... :rolleyes:

Fevermike, nobody from the Muscle team was flying back and forth from Destin to Key West, You are wrong with that statement, probably misinformed by someone. Again - congrats to OL and the Muscle fountain will be back next year. When the schedules come out we will probably be doing half of each. See you all somewhere on the race course and at the bar along side Fevermike. Strick-Muscle crew chief

Please enough of this back and forth bickering. All you guys are starting to sound like a bunch of old ladies. OL built a beautiful race boat. But we all know two races don't prove a thing. Let's just wait till next year and then we'll see who the top dog really is.

Thanks for clearing that up....that was the word when I was in Destin was that Diamond Dave had a private jet and was flying with his girls back and forth to Key West. Hey sounded cool to me...I though what fun he must be having...but I was thinking how in the heck could he race a boat doing all this partying!
see ya and thanks again, Mike

Can someone say "broken record"

Never mentioned by Tim Sharky...O.L's non sanctioned
Kilo claim to fastest V bottom. O.L's non attempt at
Kilo run when Reggie's set the record Again.
Mike Fiore's never sitting behind the wheel or
Throttling of his own boats in any event.
O.L's non winning record for offshore racing...yet boats
have a copy cat of Cigs world champion logo.
Costs that put the boats out of reach for almost everyone
except the very elite.
Every time someone even mentions Fountains
acomplishments in racing........well...see Sharkeys

Re: Has Outterlimits ever won a world title???
 
I posted this before..I am curious who held the record prior to Reggie..and when was that? Something has to be said (dont lie) for the founder not only holding the record but also driving the boat during the record? Come on..we all know his hair is jacked up, his marketing is questionable but come on, why does every mention of speed bring him up? Something has to be said for what the man has done and does, like it or not. Yes I own a Fountain and proud of it. So what? Im not the fastest or the slowest but its nice to know the boat im in is respected...or is it? Sharkey?

99fever27 12-03-2006 10:42 PM

Re: Has Outterlimits ever won a world title???
 
Back to the original question..has OL ever won a world title? I have no freaking clue! It wouldnt matter to me if they did, They are a gorgous boat that runs crazy speed. I think Outerlimits has something to admire and would love to own one...but im far from owning something from that caliber Fountain Cig or OL, I just love boating.

Re: Has Outterlimits ever won a world title???
 
I don't believe I have repeated as many times as we all have heard this: :rolleyes:



"Over the years Fountain Mercury has won more Offshore World and National Vee Bottom championships than all of the largest 100 marine manufacturers combined! Offshore racing separates the men from the boys. In a hurry! It’s the boating industry’s ultimate test of man and machine.

For the past two decades Fountain Mercury has dominated the sport! Once again this past year Team Fountain Mercury dominated both the SBI and APBA offshore racing circuits capturing World and National Championships in the most competitive V-bottom classes; Superboat Vee Unlimited and Superboat Vee Limited."
BTW, tnothin knew nothin till I explained what happened in Key West 2005. Yes, it was a repeat, but to the newbies they may only be hearing of this for the 1st time... :crazy:
