I think its awesome that any of the V-hull manufactuers (Outerlimits) are trying to break the record. They prob have a good shot at it as well. I love the looks of the Outerlimits however feel the conection with Fountain and have utmost respect for them as well. I was also there in 04 and saw the Kilo run and if you were not there you missed a history making run thats for sure. Both companies have done their share of boasting no doubt. Lets not forget the "Cat Killer" fiasco.......... It also appears this is more of a private attempt with factory support so, if or when Outerlimits or whoever breaks the kilo record there is a ****load of Fountains out there SOMEBODY put some Merc 1650s or Sterlings or SOMETHING in and go back after the record! I will be glad to watch either way.

as much as i love these old videos >>> open boats cant run with a sit down canopy boat! your balls get alot bigger when you have a roof and you dont have to hold on so you dont leave the boat and go swiming

Well, the Rio Roses boat (former kilo boat) is for sale in the classifieds.....
I think the Fountain "believers" should all pitch in, pull a few strings and run head to head against Outerlimits!
LOL

PS This is a 1005 cu.in., 2150 horsepower naturally aspirated motor. I think the Fountain would run pretty good with two of these.

Yes it has, and thank God, things were a little boring lately. There is not much middle ground here on this topic; lots of strong-willed-opinions and good-natured banter thus far.
I look forward to hearing more diluted logic, insane opinion, crafty argument, mis-information, propaganda, and cheer-leading from both the Reggie supporters, and OL trumpet blowers, all in good fun of course.
If Joe Sgro was driving a Fountain, Skater, OL, Statement, MTI, Phantom, or a Boston Whaler, he would drive it to the limit, and be successful at it. I hope he breaks the record for him, to make Joe Sgro the fastest V bottom driver in the world, the thread is just much more interesting that it will be attempted in an OL, but they do make the a very fast boat, no arguing that.
So what are truly accurate facts?
1. Is Joe trying to break the record for Joe or is about redemption for M. Fiore?
2 Is it really an OL supported venture, just using Joe's boat, and having him drive it?
3. Will M. Fiore be on throttles?
4. How much hp will these so-called 1650 really be making on the day of the run?
5. Will Mercury engineers be dialing in the motors, blue printing the drives (what typ of drives does this boat have?)?
6. Where will the record be attempted? and When?
7. What does the boat weigh?
8. Is the bottom the same as the other bottoms that OL is producing, or is it more of a one-off/prototype?
9. Has this boat been in the wind tunnel? If yes, what modifications have been made?
10. What other applicable information can be given to the OSO community so we can base our opinions on fact, not fiction or speculaltion?
Matt Trulio,
You started this sh*t storm, get us some info, chop-chop! (just kidding) But in all serious tell us all you can.
