Real Fast Marine Dials in MTI and hits 199mph
#51
I said to myself, don't mention anything, but I see allot of things claimed and I happened to notice something. I really hope Reggie and his crew do well, I stated that from the beginning, but that's saying everything you read on the internet must be true right? Regardless, the photo looks fishy. It's not hard to do this, and yes, I am making that claim, because saying you can run 200mph on a set of worked 1300s is just about as outlandish as my claim. I said nothing here other than stating the obvious. If he did this, good for him. I am not hiding when I see something just because it may cause an issue. If I am wrong I will admit it, but the photo looks altered. Apparently I'm not the only one who agrees. I've had a ton of PMs about this stating the exact same thing. "I didn't want to say anything but I agree". So I'm not the only one, I'm just the only one who said it.
My reputation is just fine, I don't think calling someone on an outlandish claim is anything but how it should be. Considering the last few times this boat has ran it was off the pace by quite a few mph of what was quoted.
If I recall correctly, Reggie Sr. did this all the time (call people out on their claims) especially in the Outerlimits/Fountain Rivalry.....
I don't feel making this even remotely should give any negative reputation other than questioning the obvious....

Congrats to Reggie!
Were all shocked an OL guy is bashing you....lol
When we built King Sting, everyone doubted it ran over 170....until it dusted one of the first My-Ways and some big 4 engine Nor-Tech that was claiming 200.
Know how ya feel Mr. Fountain.
4% is a totally attainable slip number in good cat (Skater, MTI, etc) as well.

I have nothing for respect for Reggie. Not sure why everyone is picking on WT. I thought his response was respectful. Let's state the facts. By this picture, it seems that the GPS might be a little off. Not to say they didnt go 199.4mph. Regardless, I wish the team the best of luck in key west I think it'll be a great race!!!!

You beat me to it. He referred to the Fountain/outerlimits rivalry. A lot of smack talk from both sides. But Reggie said he was the fastest and guess what still worlds fastest V. It took outerlimt's what a decade to even come close to Reggie's V hull numbers I emphasize close... what only 20mph shy... lol Everyone talks about the motors the motors... Its all in the setup and hull that's what makes a boat fast... REAL FAST! Congrats to everyone involved. Real Fast Marine keep up the good work.
