First Cat Killer Video
I think the first cat killer video came out in the early 90’s I ordered a VCR tape from Fountain around 1991 that showed all the current models and also had a section on Fountain racing. In the video Reggie is racing a triple engine 47 against I think Don Johnson in a four engine cat.. In the video it shows the Fountain pulling ahead of the big cat several times. Does anyone else remember this video?

Are there any plans to put a good looking paint job on Cat Killer? I realize the sponsors want their name on it too, but that would make a painter salivate coming up with a "Cat Killer" themed paintjob.

You have some valid points which I have enjoyed reading in this thread and others. I have one question as it seems you are very educated in this industry. Have any of these people owned and built the same brand boat consecutivley for more than 27 years? Just curious.

you'r right on.. This is the worse times in the US for over 4-5 decades. To many just don't realize it or they have their head in the sand. I hope I'm wrong but I see 5 years or heII.
On a nother note... financial statements of any boat builder has nothing to do with their product. Fountain, Skatter, MTI, OL. Cigs. NT. AT. DOnzi. Fromula. etc. all build great boats.
Different marketing,, different end users.. and their profit margin don't reflect boo about the boats.
The issue is "merketing integritiy".. not "financial stability"

Nobody...in any business.... has been through these kinds of "troubled waters" before. I have been actively involved in both boats and truck transportation since the 60's and have never seen anything half as bad as this..... a perfect storm of tight credit, shrinking demand, and ridiculous political *ss covering.
I hope that the manipulative forces driving us downward...pre-election of course...ar able to reverse the trajectory that they have created.

I just wonder, if this had occurred any other time, (not weeks before the most important presidential election in our life), how things might be different. All of this jockeying for position in congress, and in front of the media, is it really necessary!
