Is the Fountains bottom efficiency just that good?
I got a video or two like that from 17 year ago too. The fountain rides High in the front. I like that way. mine really lands nice. I've seen some outerlimits hitting their chine.. The outlimits rides more flat

So the only determining factor of who wins or looses in an offshore race is who builds the hull? I’ll have to let everyone in key west know in a few weeks that horsepower, weight, prop selection, gearing, driver and T-man ability/aggressiveness, ability to stay together etc. has nothing to do with it !

I would agree and if you take that in account, Steve,and Joe should have a huge advantage over AMH Fountain.

It really is sad the way the Dr and Forhand dirtied and tarnished the Fountain name by their continuous use of cheater motors.
And downright pathetic the way they continued their underhanded small-man racing in the new SVL Outerlimits.
Fortunately, they were forced to fade away in shame before they went for an unexpected ride in a porta-party.
To the point, While these two are obvious losers, It's my opinion that the real loser was Outerlimits. They introduced a beautiful pleasure single engine V, and single engine SVL, only to have their name and reputation tarnished by the magic master and passenger.
Fact is, both the Race AND pleasure OL's are Beautiful boats. Wouldn't it be exciting to see the Fountain & OL , with respectable-reputable teams go at it in an actual certified kilo run, with actual equal motors and thorough inspections followed by a day of racing in Key West, (also with actual thorough inspections) ??

Kilo's would be great again to see heads run runs from all the teams.

Last kilo I ran was at Fountain yrs ago they had a great set for kilo runs. SBI ran Kilo in conjunction with the race they had in North Carolina

It's all about the corners. How long are the courses now? 4-4.5 miles. Watch the Fountains, if they do get bent out of shape the fountains recover so fast, where the Outerlimits looks like it's on the verge of spinning out every turn. It would be great to see some Forehand shenanigans with Peter Meyer in the mix. Something about the fishes.

I never took anything personally or have a anger problem with you. I think you are a piece of work tho. Just like the other guy said, you don’t know his boat- prop size gear ratio etc. So I guess only you are entitled to speak out of your A$$?! Then someone calls you on it and they have an anger issue?! CLOWN!!
Wow! I had respect for you right up until this last comment. You're making yourself look like a jackass on here. Everyone is brand loyal that's what makes this boating crowd fun. Now resorting to name calling on a message board. Silly. You sound almost as dumb as RF3 on facebook.

Fair enough, although my problem was not with you. I get the brand loyal part as I am too. That wasn’t the point. I’m over it, no problems here. But if I lost your respect over this disagreement with someone else, then it is what it is.
