How did they cheat? Just curious....

that is how they won every race, was right next to them in key west when they stuffed so hard they hit the reef.

Also raced against Harrahs, don't think they cheated, but they never broke down, fast boat.

The only plus side I can see from that Fountain spinout episode, was A. everyone stayed inside the boat. And B. A 22 FT Baja did not run through the same water unscaved seconds before. Then we have this.

Ironically enough.....the guy driving this sutphen that rolled is the same guy that was driving the heartbeat boat when they stuffed so hard it punched his hands thru the dash and the boat broke in half. I believe his name is Kurt Harbour. I think he just liked driving boats loose and fast. He had some cool boats though.

Don't see too many Sutphens in these parts...but there WAS one at 31st Street Marina the weekend of the in-water boat show. Total old-school...looked like a 27 or 30...dry pipes...sounded nice and healthy.

They're all cool. Fountain, ciggy, Apache, AT, sutphen. those are some sweet race vids. I've never seen the one of buckshot and heartbeat in key west. Looked like a fun run.
