Come on man. What guy wouldn't want a 200 mph Center Console

I love the beak. Gives the boat a great look. It's also functional. Fountain's are top in the v-bottom world when Reggie's at the helm.

animalhouse

that is a good point. One fact about the Outerlimits is it is and always has been a full 5 seat interior, Monster stereo system, A/c and full leather interior pleasure boat. With the exception of the blueprinted bottom and added structure in the roll cage, it is the exact same boat available to retail. It is not a potato chip thin hulk with 2 seats and a raw interior for weight savings.

Joe takes out the 1650's puts in his set of 1350's and uses the boat as a pleasure boat.

Just to set the record straight I currently have the Kilo boat in my shop. I have been through this boat top to bottom one thing is for sure it is a full lay up boat. no potato chip hull here. sorry to disappoint.

animalhouse

not disappointed, I'm happy for you. That must not be the same Panasonic / Cat Killer boat that left Key West all shrinkwrapped on the port side after the hul delaminated a few years back.

Your a straight up hater, you want to compare wins on the racecourse between Fountain and OL? RF will break speed record, and the Fountain raceboats that were built 15 + years ago will continue to win; furtehrmore Fountains continue to win when it mattters most, deal with it. The new speed record that will be set by a Fountain is coming, so the hating by you and the OL cheerleader section on OSO is inevitable.

Bad mouthing Fountain Powerboats and Reggie Fountain is nonsense, give that sh*t a rest; the success of Fountain in regards to race history, Kilo runs, and the overall Founatin powerboat lineup, which is great product, speaks for itself, sell anti Fountain BS elsewhere.

I'm going to think outside the box here away from a market standpoint. I think this is a Pride ordeal and maybe the market will follow slightly as a by product of the attention they are getting already. I believe this is a good thing as in Reggie and His son are working on a father son project per say. And to get interest, well that seems easily done given the fact those who think it's not a good idea are giving their opinions on something they cannot stop them from doing. But $hit, if my dad was his age ( And I'm Reggie III's age If he was in fact born in 84') and he said he wanted to shoot for another record! I wouldn't think twice. Thats at least what I can gather from the whole ordeal. So if you can't stop them, you don't have to join them. Just sit back and watch the show. And to someone else's comment about the boating industry isn't what it used to be with a cell phone doing 100mph. Well at my young age and I'm young compared to most here…. But since I respect my elders I'll agree to disagree. Some of us wish it was the old ways in a really bad way. CC's are meant for fishing. But society changes and the market follows.

It's been said many times, "There's no such thing as bad publicity", so the ups and downs of threads like this will all help.

I see a few similarities to Reggie's return and that of Niki Lauda at Mercedes AMG. I know Americans prefer NASCAR and Indy cars over Formula 1 car racing, so for those who don't know.....

Lauda was a three time world champion and well known for his aviation pursuits as well. He's had highs and lows and at 68 years of age, when most people are retired, or planning to do so, he's working with Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 racing team as a non executive chairman. His achievements in Formula 1 are undisputed. He's at every Grand Prix with the team and his presence alone commands respect and I'm sure his input, however great or small, is a valuable part of the teams operation. The team have won the constructors championship for the last 3 years and are currently in a close duel with Ferrari for the 2017 season.

To be fair, I should mention, Lauda also has a 10% stake in the team if that makes a difference.

Anyone else see a parallel between these two guys?

Your saying the bottom of the outerlimits kilo boat is just like the pleasure boat?
