Go f**k yourself, I wanted to know what was going on, that's all. If you want to read some childish personal attack on your precious Fountains so be it. Grow up.

FACT: The boating industry would not have nearly the technology, saftey, speed or the races or the knowledge if Fountain was not around. That is a fact. Live with it!! Fountain Powerboats and Mr. Fountain have put more into this sport, hobby or past time than ANY OTHER boat company. period. NO One has put forth the effort or the money to make this sport what it is today.

Gheeezzz. So touchy....Such a simply question and yet you read into it so deeply. There is nothing to read into, it is a simple question.....Get over it.

"Mr. Fountain have put more into this sport, hobby or past time than ANY OTHER boat company. "

So with this in mind would the fact that Mercury doesn't offer a V-10 nor a naturally aspirated 600 or 700hp be the loop hole. Interesting!
