on average yes. this is more so for he newer boats as they are pushing the envelope on x- dimensions as time passes.

I to have dialed in many a Fountain as there are so many in the market place..nice job Reggie....and most will experience there fastest speeds with cleavers. But not every captain will appreciate the stern lift that a cleaver gives a vessel. One has to remember that you have to not only dial the boat in but you must dial the boat into the captain as well.

So I take it that you would refer to him as somethng different, Brett? Julie |
Empire, well maybe.
No direspect intended. I have mucho respect for the man! He was a great racer and a good business man. The ups and downs with Mercury were fun to be part of. The whole Labbed Bravo 1 vs. Hydro deal was played in my sand box. Reggie walked away like a scorned child. And Mercury acted like the big brother holding the basketball. I happen to have seen a different side than many have. Having worked at Mercury Racing allowed me to see the family and a buisness side many have not. The relation between him and Fred K. was interesting to say the least. Talk about big egos in one room. LOL It's all good. I just don't get all ooooo and aaah over him. He is fortunate Merc came and picked up the pieces a few years ago. He is a legend and deserves much respect. |

He is a legend and deserves much respect. maybe , but without doubt he has done more for the industry as for manufactures than anyone. and continues to be a gentleman about it. and i agree the hell with oooos and aaaahhs |
