What power was the original Fountain kilo boat?

What was the real length? (was it based on the 42 or 47 - so was it really a 39 or 44?)

Going off memory it was a 42 with twin 1500s.

What's the point of these records without any meaningful limitations (length, power, design etc.)? If we're trying to prove superior hull technology then all other factors should be nullified.

If Outerlimits made dildos you'd be sitting on one right now, wouldn't you?

Uh, thats 300 hp. But no one dynoed the fountain after the run and chances are, like they said in this thread, they probably cheated and added a lot more hp.

Ok, I'll admit to just getting done with a loooooooooong work related trip. So, I am a bit grumpy. With that said are some of you guys serious? I can't believe the route many of these post take. It's 10 years later, the boat is longer, it's shorter, it isn't all white, there's new technology. So what. WTF! Now talk of cheating. How can there be cheating in an event with no rules? It's simple there is a 10 year old V bottom kilo speed record. "Run what you brung". Outerlimits has decided it's time to challenge the record. End of story.
