The new speed record?
 

Reggie raised the speed record by 17 mph last time.When Fountain and Outerlimits meet this year, what do you think the new record will be when the smoke clears, and by whom?

Re: The new speed record?
 

hmmmm.

Re: The new speed record?
 

dont think mike will try it again he doesen't have a thing for him

Re: The new speed record?
 

They both have something in the works.

Re: The new speed record?
 

i have never been a reggie fan and have been around him a more than one occ but i was at the factory that weekend fron thursday on and he made a beliver out of me you have to give it to him at his age he worked on that boat until 1 in the am that night to get ready he looked like he had been beat with a ball bat but he was right there hands on the whole time

Re: The new speed record?
 

I think Outerlimits will break the record with a run at 180

Re: The new speed record?
 

Reggie is one bad ass man.I think it is gonna be interesting this time around.I think it will be close between F and OL this time.I think the new number will make a lot of jaws drop too.

Re: The new speed record?
 

one thing is for sure outerlimits will definitly be back with somthing good.

Re: The new speed record?
 

I hate to say it .. But there realy pushing the envelope for a V .. Id hate to see anyone get hurt or worse to sell boats :rolleyes:

Re: The new speed record?
 

your rite.

Re: The new speed record?
 

I think it is getting real dangerous.One thing go wrong and your SOL

Re: The new speed record?
 

all its going to take is for one motor to fail.game over

Re: The new speed record?
 

yup , there is a limit , and they are waaaay past it :crazy::crazy:

Re: The new speed record?
 

look at reggies run i don't think i have ever seen them run a v with the bow that high i looked like it was gona blow over but that thing was on a string and flying

Re: The new speed record?
 

Watching that nose high video of reggie making his last run ..I could just picture the inevitable chine walk ..But it seemed to fly unusually well for a deep V

Re: The new speed record?
 

I think its past the selling boats issue.Its about respect and pride.

Re: The new speed record?
 

But once that walk starts its hard to stop

Re: The new speed record?
 

No chine walking when 2 inches of boat is touching the water.

Re: The new speed record?
 

I watched the video when I got home and believe me, while it was great, it was nothing like watching that boat literally fly by. There was a tangible excitement in the air and you could feel the vibration of the horsepower all the way down to your toes. As I said standing on the pier so early that morning, there is nothing like the sound of horsepower in the morning!

Re: The new speed record?
 

The echo of that coming down the river is unbelievable.It litterally rattles the whole town of Washington.

Re: The new speed record?
 

does anyone have link to the video ?

Re: The new speed record?
 

i think it is on the fountain website....

Re: The new speed record?
 

Re: The new speed record?
 

Ya thats a must watch :D
Im sure it sounded awesome in person ..you can kinda tell from the clip that those motors were uncapped :eek:

Re: The new speed record?
 

I heard some talk about another run just yesterday. I'll wait to say any more until they have some permits and a sanction in hand.

Re: The new speed record?
 

Thanks for the link, thats outa hand!

Re: The new speed record?
 

sooner or later it's bound to happen :rolleyes: :(

Re: The new speed record?
 

Outerlimits could pull it out

Re: The new speed record?
 

How bout an Apache?HAHAHAHA :evilb: :evilb: :evilb: :evilb:

Re: The new speed record?
 

how does mercury like reggie doing all of this with sterling power? wasn't part of his deal when he got bailed out by brunswick was to push Mercury stuff? just wondering.....

Re: The new speed record?
 

i am going to bring this.... anybody want to spot me the 30k entry fee so i can kick some butt at 200!!!!!

Re: The new speed record?
 

Not fair.You have too many steps :D

Re: The new speed record?
 

My best guess is that the panache' of breaking the 200 mph barrier in a V-Bottom is out there and close to possibly becoming reality. Reggie is 23mph away from doing it in a one way pass. My feeling is that it is not a priority at this moment. But who knows.

Re: The new speed record?
 

Same thing I thought. It reminded me of a bass boat blowing by at 85mph. (but dam# those things are fun to drive.)

Re: The new speed record?
 

It was nice to see the run, but could they please turn off that STUPID music, so we can hear the engines. :(

Michael

Re: The new speed record?
 

Sounds like a porn movie, right? :D

Re: The new speed record?
 

Is Outerlimits still using Sterling power? I thought I read Racecrafters was going to supply the engines?

Re: The new speed record?
 

The rumor is Reggie has already been above 180 ,But he has a new longer hull for the next round. I figure 189-193mph.

Just think if they hit a wake at those speeds :eek: .


Mike has a little kid now to think about,is it worth it?

Re: The new speed record?
 

Just curious...
The Pamlico is a river. Anyone know if there is any substantial current running down the river? That might explain how one of his record passes was higher than the other

Re: The new speed record?
 

Awesome boats and an awesome run & record, but if they keep this up someones gonna get killed, and that will be a shame & a great loss to the powerboating community.
