As Reggie said in Chicago, he will raise the bar whenever needed. He has to answer to the stockholders and measure risk of biz and personal. Not to mention the serious dough he parks into the rig. Or if he is killed, could down-turn the company.

When next GPS record is claimed, the deal will be done again. Very simple.
He has 200+ already just not offical Kilo stuff.

Got to give him some credit due. :cool:

Re: speed racer and cat boys
 

I got bored of reading your post. :cool:
I couldnt make sense of it....

Re: speed racer and cat boys
 

just for you 99fever27 CATS ARE STILL FASTER no matter what reggie builds and you are going to see that with time.....thats all I was saying in my post..hes got only one particular boat that has accomplished those speeds and thats with YEARS of tunning and design and I really dont know if youve noticed but cats been running those speeds for awhile its just the facts and as they said in another post the record show it and they do.....is it clearer.....

Re: speed racer and cat boys

Re: speed racer and cat boys
 

Good Point, Team Budwieser hit over 200 mph for the world record a while ago and most cats have been accomplishing these speeds for quite some time now. It is no secret that a couple of weed eater motors will push a cat over 100 mph. The reality is that no V bottom will catch a cat equally set, unless of course they split the haul of the V and make it a cat. This is not boating fact, its basic science and a little common sence. Greater lift with less in the water and better aero dynamics will always prevail. Perhaps if 99Fever27 didn't get so "Bored" in class like he did when cats were posting world record speeds that V' s can't concieve just as he got bored with your previous post he may have learned that.

Re: speed racer and cat boys
 

Most cats accomplishing these speeds.....thats BS....the only ones I know that have gone 200mph or more is Callan and David Scott. If I'm wrong let me know.

Re: speed racer and cat boys
 

If you read my post you will see that I am referring to the speeds that the V bottoms are doing now are speeds long past accomplished by cats. I did not realize I had to simplify some thing so clear that most people have the common sense to know. However looking at your reply I understand. Feel free to make your self look like an idiot on OSO anytime by showing your ignorance.

Re: speed racer and cat boys
 

In the world of Cats thats knowen as a pleasure boat! :drink:

Re: speed racer and cat boys
 

Trent
I'm not knocking you but we raced several years in Key West. Every time, boats would enter that didn't race once all year long. I forget them all but Bob Morgan with Big Thunder comes to mind. I have NEVER seen a boat turned away because they didn't race the required "two races".
Reggie contributes alot of sponsorship dollars to Superboat Int. so I think he might get his way.
Back in my F2 days, Reggie had plenty of equipment that was not allowed in the rule book. I can remember his auto fill/discharge bow ballast tank. We approached John C. about this & asked that it be dismantled at the pick up. A little while later we were told Reggie would not disconnect it, he just wont use it. Do you think that would happen if it was Mike Fiore?

Read your own post DA.....you can put what ever slant you want on it.

Re: speed racer and cat boys
 

yea right defaly . d.t.o.w smart ass . :drink:

Re: speed racer and cat boys
 

:eek: Wow, ya'll are still at this argument huh? :evilb: :D

Re: speed racer and cat boys
 

I understud him

Re: speed racer and cat boys
 

What I think he meant to say is CATS ARE FASTER and if reggie can break there record, as much as he did the cat killer video.....he would break there record but its easier to fool a camera and a couple of fountain owners, than a bunch of spectators.....

Re: speed racer and cat boys
 

Cats are faster than Reggie.....lets see there's Callan and Scott, thats about it.

Re: speed racer and cat boys
 

nice..... :drink:

Re: speed racer and cat boys
 

WOW!!! Now where is that cat killer hiding.

Re: speed racer and cat boys
 

....gulp... :eek: :D :D :D

Re: speed racer and cat boys
 

He is easy to find....August 4th, Washington, NC. Is that the new MTI, Turbine boat?????????????????????

Re: speed racer and cat boys
 

CHIT I missed it! :(

Re: speed racer and cat boys
 

I guess you missed the video of Fountain on his 177 mph pass. Didn't look like there was anything in the water except the props. I didn't know that Cats could run without their props in the water :drink:

Re: speed racer and cat boys
 

How many cats can you name that hit 200?

Budwiser
Callan


That is far from most.

Re: speed racer and cat boys
 

Is there a point to your post? Or, are youjust trying to emulate your neighbors CHILD by strring the pot with senseless verbal diarrehea(sp?)? :evilb: :p

Dave put it back up for the house builders on here. :D
Or just me whatever. :evilb:

Re: speed racer and cat boys
 

My neighbors CHILD found out the hard way what boats can and can't deal with 2-3 foot confused chop :evilb: :evilb: :evilb:

Re: speed racer and cat boys
 

You have to be fast to see top secret information....................................... ............................

Re: speed racer and cat boys
 

I saw it and ....dayum:evilb: go gettem Dave...

Re: speed racer and cat boys
 

The boat I just got rid of will run 155mph how fast is yours. And I have seen the speed pic. :D

Re: speed racer and cat boys
 

the fast I was talking about had nothing to do with boats.........fast on viewing the post before it was deleted, and yes I have owned plenty of fast boats.

Re: speed racer and cat boys
 

How fast???? Put it on here so we all can see. And tell the truth I may want proof. :D
I was at work when it was up so I missed it but I have the pic so I'll post the clean version. :evilb:

Re: speed racer and cat boys
 

Blume, please give me a break callan and bud will smoke reggie.....and reggie is really fast compared to the other vees including fountains fleet of pleaser boats.You keep on baseing this one boat, trust me Ive seen A FEW poker run- NON CANOPIED cats that THE BOTTOMS WERE NOT WORKED ON -that people purchased to go fast no to beat THE CAT KILLER that are faster. I just hope that the cat killer shows up to loto becuase there are some boats that are gonna be there to whoop his asszzzzzz......................and if not he will able to REALLY CLAIM THE REAL CAT KILLER.......it might be good for him.

Re: speed racer and cat boys
 

Also Speed Racer (Faster than Reggie), Which we will hopefully see at a shoot out. And you being the wealth of information that you are I am sure you know there are more cats that go over 177mph (The Speed Fountain Claims). The reality is that Fountain is doing some incredible things that are beyond what people expect from a V and those guys have a lot to be proud of and its a shame that the foolish rederic by fountain and his team has cast such an ugly cloud that takes away from the great physical results that these guys have accompished in a V.

Re: speed racer and cat boys
 

The 177 is NOT a "claim" Its a timed kilo run. No GPS/Radar BS, but timed in front of a huge crowd.

When did SR run over177? The owner in Powerboat only claimed 175, and the GPS from Jacksonville showed 170.

Re: speed racer and cat boys
 

One of these days Reggie is gonna put wings on that thing and put it in orbit to beat the shuttle around the world. :eek: :drink:





I hope they realize its not a race. :cool:

Re: speed racer and cat boys
 

I think all this puts a bad vibe out. We are not about speed all the time, we are about pleasure, flexing a little here and there and good friends to meet and keep. This kind of hormonal explosion is dividing us and making us look like little rich kids who are bored. Where will be be when someone is killed just trying to go faster? In the end we will not be rated on speed but on how we treated others and how we gave back to the sport. Speed is a nice return of horse power and torque but how safe are you at 180, not safe at all unless you have a break away pod, even then you are in trouble. And what about the people we subject these speeds to? I was at the SOTW accident, in fact I have kept close to the family and spoke with them today, asking if they wanted another trip out to the accident site for a 1 year memorial....they said yes. I know the men who gave their life that day knew the dangers and risks but did they really expect to die? I can say no. So in the spirit of competition, flexing, bad mouthing and just general bashing we need to remember we ARE this sport and it is up to us to make it fun and safe. Like said about the trash truck and HP.....there is always someone faster, richer, better looking, more hair (sorry RF) and stronger. If you are that person why risk your life and the life of others to prove it. I think this competition is good but it is not a matter of if but when something goes wrong and all the fingers will be pointed at this sort of thing. So when I pass you in my 20 ft Zodiac I don't want to hear about how I had helium in the pontoons!!! :D And I just might, it goes 62 on GPS :D

Re: speed racer and cat boys
 

I agree that reggie has done wonders for the sport and the speeds he is running with a V are incredible. But, to actually produce a video like that in which 2 professional RACERS in a properly setup RACE boat with oxygen and safety gear outran a pleasure cat w/ 4 or 5, or however many people were on board does make him seem like a dip$hit... especially with the commentating in the video. So your RACE boat beat a PLEASURE cat in one instance and now its the "CAT KILLER".
To make a statement like that is absurd..

It's pure physics.. The hull lifting characteristics of a cat lift the boat out of the water therefore reducing friction on the running surface. how can one say the V is faster than the cat w/ equal power.. Send that race boat back to Douglas Marine, have them cut it down the middle and create a tunnel and of course its going to be faster..

He should bring that RACE boat to the 1000 islands poker run next month and see how it does.. I know 2 PLEASURE cats that will gladly had him his a$$..... not to mention the Fiore boys usually have some nice hardware there to run w/ as well..

Re: speed racer and cat boys
 

This is a performance boating website and people are going to have opinions about performance boats both positive and negative. God forbid an accident occur, but if so, I don't think all fingers are going to be pointed at one thread about cats versus vees. I'd think they'd point at Fountain's video before this thread.

Of course I agree that all boat owners should be responsible and safe. I don't think anyone wants to see another accident.

I believe this website is for entertainment and information.
Just my opinion....

;)

Re: speed racer and cat boys
 

Fountain didn't race the first power boat race, and he won't race the last. People have been racing since before time. If anyone points at one video and says thats the cause of any accident on the water, than the person pointing is wrong.

Re: speed racer and cat boys
 

August 4th. North Carolina. All boats are welcome. :drink: Lets see if the other "V" hulled boys stick around this time. And how many Cats show up to put their money where their mouth is.
