Why Doesn't Fountain Build a Cat??
 
Love'em or hate'em or indifferent, Fountain boats are fast...... for a V-hull. Why don't they take their engineering and apply it to the new skool of cutting edge marine racing? Build a beaked cat.

That depends on who did the edit

phragle 05-27-2009 09:01 PM

it's like this...reggie's world is centered around being a cat killer... logic stands to reason that if Reg built a cat, upon completion he would have to commit suicide.

Apperently they don't need one! Their V-bottoms are faster than cats! Everyone knows that!:party-smiley-004:

seafordguy 05-28-2009 07:58 AM

Maybe they should issue some stock to fund the R&D??

Interceptor 05-28-2009 08:36 AM

How many manufacturers have sucessfully built production cats and V hulls and survived ?

Nordic, Eliminator, Skater....I'm sure there are more.

Chain Runner 05-28-2009 12:48 PM

Wasn't reg almost in an accident or something along those lines where he said he would never build a cat?

phragle 05-28-2009 03:54 PM

Hobie built monohulls and cats......

Panther 05-28-2009 04:00 PM

Reggie had a 36' Skater (with the Fountain name the side) running with a fleet of 40+ ft. cats a number of years ago......:party-smiley-004:

lavey jr 05-28-2009 04:51 PM

What happened to the cat killer in this vid at 23 seconds?
Is it just hitting the rev limiter or did a drive blow causing the engine to rev?

Young Performance 05-28-2009 09:49 PM

Sounded like he lifted at that point and it popped back in the pipes. It happens with the short pipes they are running.

Not much better than a high revin big cube motor! :evilb:

Young Performance 05-28-2009 10:17 PM

Yeah they sounded good!!!

zimm1978 05-29-2009 08:24 PM

Cuz they saw how Outerlimits has failed at the cat market. Nobody is hanging on to them....a guy up here had one rigged with turbines and it's for sale after only 1 season and a handfull of poker runs.

Fountain is the fastest v out there and thats what they pride themselves in and why change it....why risk it in this economy as well?
