I applaud Fountain, My rate went up from all the dumd @sses that bought cat's and killed themselves and others in the early 2000's.

Re: Cat Killer !
Anonymous,welcome to OSO but if you tell us who you are you will garner more respect on this website and in the performance boating community. Most all of us on this site know each other.
Now why would Speed Racer throttle back to let Fountain be the 1st to the card stop? I just do not see this happening in an ego filled event such as a Poker Run. Also why is it when someone loses to a Fountain they always say this or that broke?
I do not see anything wrong with the press release by Fountain on the Jacksonville Poker run and their boat called Cat Killer. I can not see how this one deal would change anything in the insurance industry. Some people on this site are just so jealous and are looking at anything to bash Fountain they can not see straight.
Fountain has done a lot for the performance industry and all of us should acknowledge that. Fountain's R&D and support of racing is second to no one.

Re: Cat Killer !
This NOT about what Fountain has done for the powerboat industry.
Its about a poker run is not a race , So why put a statement out like that.

There's an old saying: If you don't like the end-zone dance, don't let him score touchdowns.
I pay insurance like everybody else. You can't blame Reggie Fountain for the rates. Blame the dead guys dragged from the harbor, driving at speeds far beyond their capabilities.
