CET was contracted i believe to develop and deliver 3 pairs (so 6 engines) of the Adiabatic Twin Turboed powerplants, if im thinking/remembering correctly for Fountain Powerboats...

at any rate, whatever happened to them is sure as hell beyond me

and seriously, if they want to make a statement, first throw down on a Kilo like theyve tried to for the past 2 years; (1)once in 2006 when nobody else entered so they cancelled it (that was the Washington 06 SBI event in August, I was there and planned to be at the river to see it happen, but scratched that part of it when they did), (2)once in Feb. 07, they had too many issues with the boat then (i had plans to get up there, but run didnt materialize so neither did i) and in (3)August 07 again, but had planing issues from what i hear (i was there on the river at first light the day it was supposed to go down and stuck around for 2 and a half hours).

ive seen this boat run and break at Sarasota in 2006 and 2007, I've seen it/video'd it absolutely haul ass and break in 2006 at Washington, and Ive seen it/video it haul ass on the course and break (...again) in Morehead City in 2007.

as for the Poker Runs? man, whatever.

seriously, dont show up at a d@mn friendly gathering and say you smoked everybody when d@mn nobody shows up to race.

INSTEAD OF CAMPAIGNING A RACEBOAT ON THE POKER RUN CIRCUIT, TRY DOING IT ON A RACE CIRCUIT. Try and have that boat throw down with the likes of the new Mystics and some of the other bad-built Superboat Unlimited Cats...see whos' the Cat "Killer" then...I have not the least bit of doubt in my mind that the vessel can haul it, but freaking choose somewhere else to do it instead of danged fun-oriented gatherings (or, Poker Runs...not to be confused with the race course)

PS: curse your marketing campaigns...

bit of pent up frustration with this topic...just my two cents on it...they know what the boat can do, as do many of us, just find somewhere else to show it...

That was my entire point. I wouldn't even mind if they showed at a Poker Run that had a speed run incorporated in it. Just let everyone know ahead of time, (Have class like Gino and John from the Aronow run), and do your best to beat the best. This "stealth" thing bugs me.

Yeah, there's a bunch of guys with pontoons, old Checkmates, Sea Rays, Bayliners and 40 year-old Lymans who are afraid CK's gonna show up out of nowhere for the Berlin Lake Association Poker Run!

Hey - pontoons count as cats. If he beats 'em, he is a Cat Slayer, ain't he???

Propaganda. That is all it is. Just to keep everyone talking about Fountain instead of some other brand.
Cat Killer is fast, but there are other boats that are faster. Like Sean H said, Bacardi did 202 MPH in Reggie's neighborhood & that record still stands.
I think Fountain does build a fast hull. I for one am SICK of the BS that Reggie puts out there. We all know the boats are fast, safe, fuel efficient & bla, bla, bla.

That thought did cross my mind. Maybe they SHOULD be worried.

chris, Get a job....as far as your comment, i got a phone call last night and you really should stay out of those bars with those pink high heals on, people are going to talk. Lets not get personal and childish with comments and act like a grown man, that is if you are a man.

Stick to the facts, the Cat Killer will be back and take some kittens along for a ride. If they can keep up "great" if they can't oh well..................

Sounds like TD. We have gone from all cats to some cats. What next... outboard cats? Pontoons? Definitely waffling.

yap yap yap another whinning cat in heat. tired of hearing about you pus... I mean cats. cat killer has won the worlds. where ever this machine goes, people show up. fountain is like the NY YANKEES there so good you hate them and where ever they go they sell out seats. your judging the cat killer by one poker run. dont set yourself up for a letdown. see you in the keys.

I have two words from the pleasure boat world for you Fountain nut huggers.

Lubejobs and Gatorone or CanadaThrust and MyWay.

If you get real ballsy BudLight and Geico.
