Deliver a Fountian Poker Run to OSO's Headquarters and let Steve tell you what it does with an unbiased opinion. In my short tenure working with him (2 years) he has been right on the money about every boat I have been in so far.

Therefore, you are telling me that SR can run close to or over 200??
Facts now, no bashing necc............

This whole deal is about what happened on a given day between two boats, what happens in the future, with more HP, or more boost, or fewer passengers, is in reality, another day. On this day Mr. Fountain handed the Cat guys their arse on a silver platter.

Rumor has it Mr. Fountain has an eye on that 200mph mark, and most often he achives what he sets his sights on.

I was at the Callan shop the other day, I don't know what that cat will run in the kilo, but I want to be on that 55 footer he has for that Catalina Run.
