Don't you mean Skater/Mercury didn't Pete build that boat?

What category did they invent this time?

The funny thing is that they removed the thread, " Fountain Challenge, with the BEAST". Bring the Beast to Lake Murray....we got a little something for ya.

That's one hell of a marketing department !!

Brownie, there were a couple of boats with that name. The Skater that Reggie modified set a unlimited record at 165.458 mph sometime around '99 and Gilbreath MAY have set one in the following Mercury/Fountain boat as a super cat.

What did he "modify" other than raising the seat so he could see?

Everything. Bottom, deck, added tunnel tab then removed it. I think they even widened the tunnel.

Well there are many answers to a question.

If your talking about the 46 Skater with 1' wider tunnel. I looked that boat over & talked to alot of people & I would not brag to much on the mod. craftmenship or wheither it helped or hurt or was just a push. BTW if it is the 46 it still has a tunnel extension on it but it's rotted from the inside & ready to fall off.

MOBILEMERCMAN 01-24-2008 03:18 PM
It may have had as many as 4 tunnel tabs. I think it is impossible to say if there was any improvement or not when it was all over.


The old thread about the current record said the results were going to be announced in Miami at the show.

At the time Reggie was working with Randy Scism on that particular boat. Pre MTI.
