Officially?? Reggie traded the future of his company for a temporary record and Elvis hip shaking, gorilla chest thumping pride. Now Reggie is a boat mechanic and Fiore can;t make boats fast enough.

storm, figured I would help turn it into a hurrican,

LOL WOW well said. Also, I recall someone saying they looked at the transom of the fountain record boat and said it was falling apart? Something along the lines of "I cant believe im looking at this!" The only reason OL hasnt broke the record is there's no benefit of doing it! Let fountain keep the record and Fiore will keep the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

The skater has proven it is the fastest pound for pound with same motors and drives. Nothing compared to it. When they all ran the same weight with 525 and 6s the skater crushed them. Reggie cried so much they added weight to the skater to slow it down. And everyone knows none of the fountain motors were ever legal. So, pound for pound same motors drives the skater is the choice.

Discussing fast Vee hulls, and 'modern' v 'old' design, I'd think you'd have to include these, wouldn't you?

Or, well, maybe not ... those boats don't run FAST - they run FIRST.
