Cat Killer Returns!!!!!!!!!

Why do you guys insist on bringing a gun to a knife fight??? You show up at a poker run with twice as much horsepower as everyone else and then pat yourselves on the back for having the fastest boat and then critisize the other boats because they could not keep up. Furthermore, poker runs are geared towards private boat owners. They do not have the resources or sponsors as you,a manufacturer.

Why don't you stop the smoke and mirrors and bring "cat killer" to an event with the same horse power as those you claim to beat???

Next you'll probably hire Billy Mays as your pitch man!


Oh yea, great showing at the NYC Poker Run!

Fountain's "Cat Killer" may be running into a slight problem....please see the link below.....

that looked like a 100mph pass,hole lot of talk in the vid:D

nice to have a vid of the motors idling sounds bad a@@

Stock must really be slumping this week with all the new ads/videos...

i agree

agreed

Like it or not, ATLEAST ON MFG IS OUT THERE TALKING IT UP!!!!!!!!! Maybe if the other MFG's did 1/10 of the racing exposure, marketing and stepping up. The Performance boat industry would be growing!!!! Just something to think about before you take aim at Fountain. Hell if it wasn't for Fountain would their even be boat racing today!!!!!!!!! Something to really think about.

As for the Poker Runs, OK its not apples to pineapples, but chit HOW MANY OTHER MFG's EVEN SHOWED UP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My 2 cents

WILL

That tuna guy is a TOOL. What a freakin snake oil salesman.

Here is my opinion:

Like Reggie or do not like him
Like Fountain boats or do not like them
Like the sales methodology or do not like it
Like the media hype or do not like it

None of this really matters, and here is why:

Fountains are consistently fast boats.

Fountains consistently win races.

Fountains consistently set speed records.

The Cat-Killer is a ridiculous fast awesome V-bottom boat!

I for one, would love to be in a position to own it.

You forgot the part about the ck is a hull that is not available to the public.. Yet it consistently shows up at poker runs to "race" production/semi-production boats..

Let's see it at the shootout, something I believe (feel free to correct if wrong, won't be the first time today) it has never seemed to be able to make?

Well, after viewing that bunch of cocky, full of themselves rock stars...........what is to like?

Will its not for MFGs to go out to a pokerruns and beat up the owners of power boats ,thats what racing is about pokerruns are for friends and family not guys dressed in black :grinser010: beating up familys with there stock boats they look like 3 tools in that video not REGGIE:D, Another TD 100 guy bragging ,that guy joe said he has a 11championships never heard of him at any races:rolleyes:, nice boat but this pick and choose P R stuff sounds like ,hey theres no turbines coming to bah pokerrun so lets show up. chit I bet they have a mole show up at all the runs to find out whos coming and if they figure they can beat everyone they come around the corner surprise:rolleyes:. couple ah tools with borrowed money whats the stock to day 50 cent:D

Holy Chit some people are uptight.
Take the bullchit smack talk away and what do you have? You have a extremely fast V running strong. Big phucking deal. I don't love him, I don't hate him, but its pretty phucking cool to see them run.....If its a Race boat or not who cares? :rolleyes:

Yep!

I know for a fact that the boat is (was) doing over 175 MPH,
which is absolute amasing vor a 47 foot V-bottom.
And i do know from poker runs that there where cats with the same HP and could not keep up.
And also ,why is the hull not available to puplic ?????
Its a 47 Lightning,with a canopy and dialed in right.
If you have $$$$ i bet that reggie would built you a boat just like it.
Only because most of US boaters could not afford it ,does not mean that its not available.
And yes ,the miss geico probable is faster but ,Watercond. and so on . in 1hour run (race) who knows how it would be?
And also let me tell you it takes big nuts to run any boat over 150 MPH for a period of time ( I dont have them,DO YOU ?)
Just my 2 c.

And I know for a fact there are several cats capable of doing those speeds or better.. However, at a poker run, with passengers onboard, not setup nor prepared to run those speeds, I would hope they are intelligent enough not to attempt it.

Key word here is POKER RUNS.. If the kitty fluffers want to show up in a totally custom race prepared purpose built boat and show all the pleasure boaters they are the fastest, then its their perogative.. But, it's kinda like pissing on yourself.. You know, yo get that warm feeling but everyone still knows you a tool..

If Reggie would build anyone a hull like it, AFAIK, why is it the only one in existence? Why aren't more of them on the race course?

I do not discuss my genitals on the internet...

I bet you can't name them!! If you remember the horsepower, you can remember the name.

I'm not against Fountain Powerboats. As stated they are a great boat and on top of the race game. I just don't like their marketing tactics. I don't get a warm fuzzy feeling, more like I want to wash my hands!!

Back to racing......their probably the reason for sealed motors!!!

I think the point was that it's not a standard production hull - far from it from what i understand. But, Fountain implies that it is your "run of the mill" 47 and the plain truth is, it's not.

But the point is, they were in a poker run with pleasure boats on a smooth inland river, not a one hour race. Put the Callan, Geico or Bud boat in the same event and the CK comes out a distant 4th at best. I think that's what jerks everyone's chain about the whole deal. How many times have we heard "a poker run is not a race"? Well, don't bring a factory backed race boat to a poker run. Bring it to a shootout or kilo run with other "professional" boats of comparable monetary backing and see where it goes from there.

Not bustin on ya DD, just pointing out another angle. I don't usually get into this kinda discussion because I certainly can't afford a boat of that caliber. And, the boat is extremely impressive in it's own riight. It just gets old when Fountain keeps pumping this crap out over and over. Sometimes a little humility goes a long way.

You do know that ScottB runs the Geico boat, right????:party-smiley-004:

That is my only gripe, (actually like the R&D he has done for Vee's). If you want to show up at a santioned speed event, even if at a poker run,(first to bridge, etc), throw down the challenge ahead of time and show up. If you want to beat a bunch of fast pleasure boats out to have a good time, hell, show up at a sailing regatta and then you can lap everyone! Think of how that will play, "Cat Killer lapped every cat at the race in Boston Harbor today. (No mention it was a bunch of Hobies.):D

In some point ,you mite be right.
But they did race it and also won.
And about the sealed motors ,........... thats a diffrent class.
I bet that the cat killer does not have stock merc. motors .
And about the poker runs , well if thats what they wanna bring ? I quess thats fine unless they would change the rules.
But you know what, i dont have a fountain and realy i dont go to poker runs .
So it realy doesn't matter to me anyways.
I just think its a cool boat and for marketing reggys product ,for him its a affordable way of doing so at the poker runs.

:D:D ROTFLMAO!!!!!

Yes ,i know scott personally.
Even tho i pissed him off a few times , hope whe are still friends.
With all the stadements i make about the Cat killer, its just what i think in this so called free land.:drink:

Thanks, it just drives me nuts. Even the "Little Blue Stingray" tosses it out and plans on showing up to try to back it up (we all hope).

I understand bringing a race boat to a PR, I got it! Maybe it would be better to show up and run stock 525's and let the 1200hp cats run all over him. My point is WHAT IS ANY OTHER MFG's DOING!!!!!!!!!!!! OK showed up in a race boat, at least they showed!!!!!!!

Would it have been better not to show at all and let the Bad azz cat leave behind all the other stock boats!!!! I think we can agree any boat capable of speed over 140mph is not a stock pleasure boat.

I really do understand and see both sides, I side with Fountain since they are promoting the sport we all hold dearly in a time when very few other MFG's and doing nothing to promote our sport.

Maybe instead of putting Fountain down, people should harass the Mfg of their boat to show up at some events!!!!!

Dont believe that this "ScottB" is the Scott B that throttles the Gieco boat. He would have an AMF aviatar if it was.

Great promotion boat...Rock on guys.

Thats funny, never tought about that ????:rolleyes:
2- Scott B.'s wow ,could be tho.
I will ask him.
But also the bear kind of ,...........you know what i mean.:D

Thanks for sharing the video, fountians are sick!!! I rode in a 42' with 1075s that Powerboats NW had at desert storm and man it was a sweet ride, we did 135mph. fast for a v-bottom

Ah hah, you are correct!!! Oversight on my part!!!:grinser010:

Just curious...if the name of the boat was Weekend Warrior (or some other random name) would everyone be so worked up over this? CK is an extremely fast boat and even with engine "problems" still finished 2nd at the PR to the TZ Bridge. Also, I knew at least a week in advance that the CK was going to be at the NYC PR...saw postings on here about it, so I'm a little confused why people have said that it was a surprise that they showed up?

Well,business IS business and they just got two pages of free advertising on THE boating forum.Don't really care for the blowing their own horn but if it helps to keep 'em going to the bank to make deposits...so be it. CK is sick though.Just my .02

I would like to see Cat Killer go up against the new GEICO cat this summer :cool-smiley-011:

Race Boat V against Race Boat Cat :food-smiley-007:

it has happened several times already (bud, geico, crc, etc), the lack of a fountain video tells you how it turned out... :drink:

First, let me say that Fountain builds a very fast boat and dominates many classes of offshore racing. He gets my respect for that, and that's all.


Do you REALLY believe that these stunts and naming the boat CK are about promoting the sport of offshore racing? This is shameless twisting of facts for self-promotion of the Fountain name. Granted, he gets plenty of pub from these events but as many people as he may be selling boats to, he is probably alienating twice as many that may have considered buying a Fountain at one time. Personally, I wouldn't buy one at any price. When I hear the word Fountain, the words arrogant and jackass immediately come to mind. Fountain may be good at getting his name out there, but as I said before, some humility wouldn't hurt.

I was here first :D :D

Sorry, I didn't catch the post about being the throttle guy.. Wish I was. Hell, I can't even get ScottB to let me be the rope biotch on the safety boat when he heads out to put seablow out of business... ;) ;)

While I give props to them for their ability to generate hype whenever they fart, or break a record, or pass a gall stone, or get a new wig, the constant arrogant advertising has me convinced I'll never own one...

Ding ding ding!!! Winnah!!!!!!!:D

If ya can't beat em---build em!
Stop trying to kill cats & have a litter of your own. :D
