I have heard this for years. Going back to the days of Factory 2 racing, where were the Outerlimits. Only one showed up and that was Wild Child. He ran good but VERY seldom did he beat the Fountains. All boats had the same engine package. The OL was 37 feet and the Fountain 38. No doubt OL builds a great boat and most would love to have one, me included, but if you want to go FAST, go Fountain.

I said Reggie does have the record and he made a great run at those speeds. All I said was Outerlimits has the capability to run those speeds. Everyone doesnt have to know everything. I hope as well as some other's that this Kilo record battle will come back. It was great to see Skater/Cigarette take a run at it.

If you go back with your Fountains those 10 yrs, things were a lot more comparable.

No arguement there, Reggie has it. But when every one is saying that if you want to go fast you can only do it in a Fountain in total BS, when the avg top speed of a normal Outerlimits pleasure boat is faster than 99% of Fountains out there.

I did not say that, what I meant was OL is aHigh priced custom builder
fountains are production
Not sure what you do for a living to be able to own a OL but I don't see fountain as being in the same price range

Fountain40icbm, no, Wild Child did not win all of the rough races, check the records and as far as a OL running 118 or better, I try to keep up on that sort of things and I have NEVER seen where one ran that speed no even 114 or 115. Tell me in what publication it was in so I can see for myself. As far as turned up, yes mine was turned up, but after taking the smaller pulleys off it still ran 121, took a long time to get there and still had the 5800 limiters on it, but 121 is, at least to me, pretty impressive.
