Re: Instigator or Spiderman?
Tell ya what, to me, I dont know who's the best or who's the fastest. But, we ran right on their but, in a 4 year old boat that is already 300 lbs over weight. Never thought we would even be in that game, so didn't even consider set up. We filled the fuel and went for a ride. Long story short we finished up with 70 extra gallons 400lbs and 300 lbs over weight and ran pretty dam close to the same speeds. We have found more speed since. Yea Skater builds a hell of a boat, dont count out the beak boyz. I am seeing RED. Smitty

Re: Instigator or Spiderman?
Reggie was stuck but there was never any problems. The hatch was sealed so good that it caused a vacuum and the lid wouldnt open so they just had to wait until water came in. But divers were there and they were sat in there waiting. Still scary but never life threatening!!!!
Its an awful shame that OSS and Sbi are having seperate worlds. What a kick ass race SV would be. Well.....it still will be in Key west!!

Peter and staff at Douglas Marine's craftmanship and layup techniques are far more superior then the rest of the competition PERIOD!!!!!!!!

Re: Instigator or Spiderman?
In ft. Myers.......But who was he in front of???
Not Instigator.....Not Wazzup.......not micckosukee......not Fountain Mercury.......Not rodriguez......Not Muscle......
This is getting a little OTT. We are obviously ( this year) never going to know. The Skater 399 is hell of a boat...........Fountains are fantastic.....
Lets hope for some type of miracle that we will see them.....until then.......
.... just keep in mind the two sister boats to Instigator that have been behind curtains for a while......!!!...
