Who owns the V bottom speed record?
 

We're all sick of hearing the same people argue the same thing over and over so let's have the poll results do the talking.:cool:




Silence please.;)

Those poll descriptions suck and should be ignored.......

Don't vote or look at them then.

I just sumarized what is being said over end over on all of the other threads...

It is just biased....that's all.

The question is who owns the record. I don't own either boat. But I thought top speed wise the Fountain was holding that record?


new NPA record stands. what is that about now?

you forgot allan4 is a putz!!!!!!!!!

I would have put SS930 is a putz, but everyone would vote for that!:D

Dont believe the hype, it's a sequel

One way is not two. And a full canopied race boat is all it takes to beat a pleasure boat.
