    It's pretty clear...no one...I repeat no one has done for offshore powerboating what Reggie Fountain has done The man has taken it to a new level and takes on ALL challengers. He makes no excuses, typically because he doesn't need to, but without a doubt, he has given more to our sport than any other single person or group of people....PERIOD.

    In case everyone didn't already know, a Fountain RACE boat with twin 1550hp Sterlings is faster than almost any POKER RUN boat. Reggie, why didn't you race your "cat killer" against the Bacardi Silver Skater that uses 1500hp Sterlings? Is it because that boat does 202mph and your "cat killer" does 179? I guess that comparison wouldn't be an effective marketing excercise...

    You're talking a full blown race boat verses a pleasure cat with 24000 to 3000 horse power.

    Don't kid yourself these cats had high dollar equipment in them. No one builds a boat like these and not to try and be number one. Grant you it was probaly a stacked deck with the Fountain , but the boats that tried were top notch.
    Reggie has his shit together on any given day he will be a factor at any event.

    Bigger seas favor the V bottom.
    So many of the so-called offshore races are in glasslike water that a hydroplane could easily make the course and win.

    I was at this run myself, and that boat was very fast! Reggie can be over the top and I can understand how people got upset at this little PR stunt. Speed Racer did break and was running smaller pulleys to run pump gas and he wasn't too happy about being in this vid. Also, notice the boat more closely, it's really a 46', they cut off the beak as it created too much bow lift.
