Who is the king of offshore.
Many of you don't care who is the fastest on flat water "it's the ocean that tell's the true story".
WELL HERE IT IS. CALL YOUR MANUFACTURER AND TELL THEM TO BRING THEIR BADEST RACE BOAT OR RACE/POKER RUN BOAT TO CLAIM THE TITLE
NO MORE WHINING OR or BS PRESS RELEASES
PUT THE DRAMA TO REST: FOUNTAIN IF YOU TRULY THINK YOU CAN BEAT "SPEED RACER" CALL HIM AND CHALLENGE HIM. There will be no denying the winner his claim to the title here. They'll be some other BIG CATS that will enjoy running the "CAT KILLER" .
CIG we all know you have a secret weapon waiting to surprise us all!!! The "old man" upstairs created our sport on these Ocean Races.
OL...THERE IS more of your "Heavy duty hardware" that can handle this job than any other Manuf. You guys have a very impressive program and many Loyal fans. Don't let them down!!!!
THIS IS A SANCTIONED RACE NOT A POKER RUN. ALL Proffessional SAFETY rules will be in place for High SPEED BOATING. HELO"S, DIVE TEAM's MED boats, Cleared course.

If you think that the insurance companies sit and a room and count the income from these premiums, you are dead wrong. I had a friend get a cancellation notice from Markel after seeing the spread in Hot Boat on his boat. These are not assumptions on my part but facts that myself and many are having to live with and press releases like this won't help the situation.

Ask your friend what he told Markel and what was published in Hot Boat. Lieing about the engine or the boat speed will get you cancelled in a hurry.

Im pretty sure if we heard where any Nascar, IRL or F1 driver was doing 170 on an open road, and then bragging about it, we'd wouldnt be saying how cool that is either... but then again .. maybe some of you would....

BUT, how many boats run at speeds at or above 100 mph every day? and water is a lot less controlled surface than pavement.
Point being that Fountain was not the only one running at high speed. We know Speed Racer was. There was an other MTI that posted he was running 150+ when Fountain pulled away, I'd guess Ballistic was running pretty fast, and those are only the bigger named boats that were there. How many more were running at very high speed?

.You stated that the insurance companies don't pay any attention to the maginess.The point of my second paragraph was that the insurance do read the magazines and websites.
