Re: Cat Killer !
Is this going to be Fountain's new marketing campaign? Show up to Poker Runs in a twin 1500hp Race boat and pick on pleasure cats with wives and friends out for a ride. Then brag to the world about cat killers? I have lost a lot of respect for the man.

Insurance companies have armies of guys that crunch numbers. They don't have people looking for quotes in magazine to base their rates on. :rolleyes: |

You mean TAKE his money. :D That Fountain hauls ass but they need to put down the pipe saying it's a cat killer. There are a TON of cats that will destroy that boat in any condition. It's a fast vee though! |
Re: Cat Killer !
As a Fountain owner you would think my opinion is biased? I just do not see anything wrong with the press release...it's a dang sales tool PEOPLE! Now just get over it....this is not the 1st time Fountain or other manufactures in other industry's have done this.
Jealous...jealous...jealous! :rolleyes: offshoredrillin, if Outer, Cig, Formula or any other company other than Fountain would have brought a hi powered boat to a major poker run and blew away some high speed talkin' cats or blew away Fountain and posted an article about it on their website you would have jumped on their bangwagon...now admit it. :D |

I guess most of you missed these pics i took! Bottom of page 4 Yes i know alot of people are biast. But i would think the pics speak for them selfs. After we were in front we were throttling back. Look at the tac's and Speedo... we obviously proved our point.. Just to damn bad that the helicopter couldnt keep up with us to witness this... So where is that video cause i cant wait to see it. Next time ill be sure to have a video camera that way it will end all the trash talk.. I just assumed that these pics would of been enough. Both Boats are great boats dont get me wrong.. Both of these are the best in there class... But a 4700 lb v bottom racing a 12000 lb "dry" cat with the same power.. Doesnt really add up to me.. Look at the horsepower to weight ratio. We had 250 gallons of fuel and 4 people. Lets make a 44Mti cat 4700 lbs and see how fast it would go with that power. So for those to say that the Reggie has beat a "Cat hull" Is a far cry. thats apples to oranges. For the record Speed was turned all the way down.. We were only making 6 psi on starboard motor and 8psi on port. Im sure we can pulley the boat up and put the big props on.. we were just out having a good time with the little props. We were on the bump boxes. Thats what trashed our belt. Speed has alot left in her... Far more then most people would ever want to go with an open canopy. We have had it alot faster then in those pics. I had alot of fun as i always do when im in Speed Racer. Its a great time meeting new people and seeing amazing boats and paint jobs... I Know any "gear head" would die for the chance just to be apart of this. I just wanted to say a special thanks for Randy K, David woods For allowing my self to be apart of this.. Thanks guys. |

Re: Cat Killer !
I believe everyone is missing the point, both Speed Racer and Rio Roses were equipped with identical power, 1550 HP Quad Rotor Sterlings. Both boats are capable of running in excess of 175 MPH. I am not picking sides, I have a 42 1100 HP MTI and a 42 1100 HP Fountain, both power plants are by Sterling. My Fountain has a top end of ap[proximately 135 MPH my MTI has a top end of approximately 160 MPH. This sound about right, the cat should be approximately 20% faster. The new hull on Rio Roses is a major improvement, Speed Racer and Rio Roses have basically the same top end number.
Folks, I do not care if you love the man or hate him, but Reggie has made a major improvement for V hull technology. |

GF has faster boats than you? :evilb: |

Re: Cat Killer !
Without waving my Fountain flag...
Was watching my Pegged DVD this weekend. Forget which poker run it was covering, but there was a few minutes devoted to a cat running with on board video showing it's 165mph?? speed and the comment being said about no one even close behind them, (or at least the jest of it). Guess I should have paid more attention to the details, but was more interested in the eye candy shots. Speeds/crowds at poker runs are insane/unsafe. Those speeds should be saved for the race course where all the drivers are experienced, not just a few. Just my 2 cents |

Re: Cat Killer !
Thats right Superman We got a late start and we had to play catch up. After that weekend i bet you cant wait to get your boat!
Once we pulled into the cove where the first stop was... we didnt stop and decided to turn around and play with the Rio Roses boat. We acutally only made it to one of the card stops where the boat was tied up until we were able to pull the boat out of the water. |

Re: Cat Killer !
You can piss and moan about Rio Roses and Reggie all you want but the man is a legend in the power boat industry.
Reggie didn't buy a well established company he built one. He then started racing and was a multiple world champion, HIMSELF. His boats have dominated the race curcuits for almost two decades and he has set many world speed records, HIMSELF. So now Reggie took his V bottom to a poker run and some of you guys are crying about ? Give me a break. I hope I have as much fortitude, drive and ambition as Reggie when I'm pushing 70. Kudos for Reginald Fountain. |

I GOTTA KNOW HOW THEY GOT THAT BOAT TO 4700 LBS THATS A FULL 4000 LBS LESS THAN A COMPARABLY FUELED 42 FOUNTAIN SUPER V WITH BRAVO DRIVES-- DO TELL. |

Re: Cat Killer !
I obviously own an MTI (screen name), but I have also owned 2, 100+ mph 42 fountains. I have always had great respect for Reggie and his boats, but I have no respect for a liar. And that is what this press release is.I know that the Fountains fans won't like my choice of words, but the truth hurts sometimes.The few of us that were lucky enough to see this run know that Speed handed Rio there A$$, Twice. Both times were after the first card stop. Ben Robertson got out of Rio and stated that Speed Racer had passed them, This I also heard, not hear say.

Re: Cat Killer !
I just read Reggies press release and this whole thread. I am a huge Vee fan, but this press release is pure marketing B.S.
To say a Vee handles better than a Cat at speeds approaching 150+ is just plain ignorant. The cat has a much wider contact point to the water. In Reggies world the laws of physics are suspended and Fountains are so fast they can fold space..... yada yada yada. At least this Fountain didn't delaminate like the one in Ft. Myers did, so i guess that would be good news. |
