Bob lives about 6 miles from me and the only place I have seen his boat is on magazines and on the net!!!
One of these days I will see it in person!

i'm talking about the one with reggie's old record was a canapoy race boat. you seem to know alot about tell more power speeds etc.
mirageman-it mainly stayed on the east coast,i think he sold it already and building something new? expoxy?

That new fountain will never see big power, cause mercury doesn't make anything bigger. I don't expect mercury to finance a boat that doesn't have their motors in it.

Either way, the mark is 149.7, in a usable boat that the general public can actually buy.

Rumor has it, Mercury will own Fountain soon.

The new boat is a four seat sit down and it is not a canopy. I have a drawing and I will try to post it so everybody can have a look. The boat is to be done for the Miami show. The deck is about done and it will go on a 42 hull. The target is 160 MPH +. As everybody knows, Reggie will not rest until the record is back in Washington,NC.

I almost forgot. It will have a cabin.

i doin't wount to start a pissing contest , but doin't count reggie out yet . you may be surprised what will happen . i thank ol sent reggie a wake up call whitch he has need for a while. time will tell

also rember the fastes offshore boat in the world is not a pleasure boat bacardi sliver

NO DISRESEPECT TO OUTERLIMITS...BUT 1400 STERLINGS ARE HARDLY USEABLE..WHATS THE REBUILD 30HRS? WHAT FUN IS THAT I CAN PUT THAT ON IN A LONG WEEKEND, DO YOU NEED TO BRING A MECHANIC WITH YOU TO CONSTANTLY PLAY WITH THEM?

Records are meant to be broken. So im sure that OL record will be broken sometime in the future, but by who, we will just have to wait and see.

Speed records dont mean anything to me. There is no
criteria. How do you compare two completly different
size boats,with completely different power? Put two
boats the same length and the same power, then
compare.
