Will Reggie ever ....
 

design another Cat or will MTI be the only one?

From what I understand Reggie didn't design it Randy Scism did.

did skater close up shop?

Exactly don't forget Randy was a manager on Team Victory in Dubai & worked with Micheal Peters on there boats long before he hooked up with the Reg. I would have to think that if anyone helped Randy it would have been that experience & not so much the king of comb overs.

Wasnt a Fountain Cat made for a few years?

Yeah for like 2 seconds, there are only a couple of em. I also think they were pleasure only?

I think there was four built.

reggies the "cat killer" not the cat builder.. or shouldnt I believe everything I read on the internet?????????

one of these.

I think I remember one racing in Boloxi Mississippi around 98-99.First boat I had seen with side exhaust.Thats the same race Baja hah the 42 foot step bottom trip 800s at the starter boat:D

Also remember a chain saw and a fiberglass tunnel tab:eek:

You dont want to believe everything you read on the internet !!!:cool-smiley-011:

looks like a mti..but , what do know...

Shouldn't be long now. Even though he says ALL cats are death traps. He will grow weary of racing against himself in V-bottoms while there are 10-20 cats running against each other.

Agreed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The answer to the question is: Not if he's in his right mind.

Reggie does what he does, stepped V-bottoms, very well. Love him or hate him, like his shareholder statements or not. Why would he introduce a cat at a time when performance-boat sales, across the board, are in the proverbial crapper?

For the record: Fountain did build some MTI cats. I don't know how many, but I'm sure someone on this board does. And, yes, they were pleasure cats.

As for an MTI being a "glorified Skater," tell it to Randy Scism. I don't know if an MTI is a Skater rip-off, as has been claimed by some, or if Randy Scism came up with it all on his own. No doubt, he learned a lot from Peter Hledin when Skater supplied boats to the Dubai Victory team that raced for and eventually managed.

Regardless of where it came from, an MTI isn't a "glorified" anything. It's a very fine catamaran in its own right.

I remember hearing the story of when Reggie bought the Fabio Buzzi cat and named it "Fountain'... I heard that Reg took the boat and made his own modifications to it and it emerged 15 mph slower.

Im sure he's learned to leave the CATS to PETER/ DOUGLAS MARINE
ITS A SKATER NATION
ROCK ON !!!!!!:p:ernaehrung004:

MTI has done pretty well with its version of the cat hull:violent-smiley-045:
