Cat's have 9 lives how many does a boring v hull have Once you have a cat you never go back, live in south Florida have plenty of rough water to do battle with v hulls they are just average a dime a dozen and so cheap to buy Cat's are in extreme high demand and you get so much more performance from them in any condition
The real story isn't Cat Killer, It's that Cat's Kill. This is why Reggie would not build one to sell to the public. Reggie said that going fast is fun, but killing yourself trying to go fast is no fun at all. The Fiori family should have listened to Reggie !!
It's not that simple. DCB's M31, a smaller, lighter boat, with twin 1350's is running 170 in 6 inch chop. With another 300hp, it may run 180-185. Bacardi Skater has only ever set 190+ runs running in one direction. Everyone knows that to have a legit record, you have to average both directions. Budlight mystic ran with either alcohol engines, or Merc 1075's, neither of which propelled it faster than 180 going two ways. Anything else over 180 is either turbine, alcohol, or bigger than 1500.
7mileBud for one vees are more enjoyable to drive. actually takes skill to drive a vee fast. I'd take a vee also. cats get boring after awhile once the speed factor is reached
Did you guys ever think about trying a skater and what did you say to each other when MAXED OUT passed you in the NYC poker Run. I bet you spent 500k more than than they did to get to skater speeds. Nice boat though.
i saw this boat in KW 2009, ihave to say less than impressed considering all the hype. cat killer? that was against poker run boat not full blown race boats. 3000HP could make a barge go fast!! come on, i would put an outerlimits against this with the same HP any day!
@@blainesnider9089 There was a mechanical issue with the OL that day. Guess who has owned the V bottom speed record of 180 for the last five years? And guess who has not challenged since he ran 170?? Yeah that guy.
@@blainesnider9089 Reggie might be out but another company is building Donzi Fountain and Baja. Check out the quad 450 o/b Donzi 44 cat awesome machine running at least 120 and will be faster with the new Merc 500hp V10s. ruclips.net/video/v9dXq7HGan4/видео.html
Cats are fine under perfect conditions. I watch skaters and mti's get chewed up by centre counsels as soon as a little bit of white start showing the tips of the waves.
well it would depend on the conditions that day and the set up each team make in advance. 3 or 4 ft chop cats all day. calm cats all day. 6 ft plus vees take it. but again setup and prep, as for me i like vees for under deck comfort and cats for speed n sexy
tec61 that's not true there's a number of better running vee's out there. If you ever rode in a fever it's not the most comfortable riding hull. Kryptonite lot faster with less power, Pantera better rough water hull list goes on and on
All this "catkiller" BS is a crock of crap. Pound for pound, HP for HP, no v bottom will beat a multihull boat. Not gonna happen. Physics will not allow it. Reggie took his 3100hp raceboat to a poker run on the East coast some years ago. He hung back until everybody got on plane then ran through the whole fleet. The 3100hp Mercedes Benz MTI caught Reggie within 200 yards and blew his deck cleats off. The last top number I saw for the Mercedes MTI was 193(photo of the GPS speedo). How fast will the "cat killer" run?? Outerlimits still holds the world V bottom speed record(set on Reggie's River the Pamlico lol)of 180.4 mph after 10 years. Reggie's "cat killer" can't even kill another V bottom lol.

I think Reggie got involved with cats like Skater a long time ago..

Pass Blocker MTI ran 185 with Merc 1650s. Mercedes Benz MTI ran 193 with Merc 1550s.
If that boat only went 100 mph I'd still take it over a cat. Cats are nice, and undoubtedly faster than v's but I'm just not a cat boat person.

Reggie would of been way ahead if he though of building Cats along time ago .
reglend....my man still love ya reggie... somebody hire him to do a vee bottom nordic eliminator skater anybody one more run baby....
LOVE IT !!!
Troy Dennis used to built fountains motors. Shout out to Ayden NC. Pitt county baby
WE HAD A 35 WITH TWIN TROY DENNIS 750'S 1000 DOLLARS IN AV GAS TO RUN LAKE MICHIGAN IN CHICAGO TO MILWAUKEE
Outerlimits went to the Fountain factory in NC and ran 180. Still the record. Fountain still can’t catch them.
Reggie eats cats for breakfast.
🔥

Lets see it run against Miss Geico lol

Outerlimits couldn't beat that boat they wossed out when they had the chance

@@dieseldog00 as far as I know fountain is out of that business now. And Reggie is 84 kinda hard for him. It took ten years for outerlimits to do it.

@forestguymon You tell him...Vee's will never run as fast as a cats!!! i have a 46' Skater with twin 1300 sterlings in it ...and that did 181 MPH
NO YOU DIDNT NOT WITH 1300'S
Cats are fine under perfect conditions. I watch skaters and mti's get chewed up by centre counsels as soon as a little bit of white start showing the tips of the waves.
What is up with that bald dudes head bobbin up and down
He's from Canada off of "South Park "
lets see in in 6ft waves!!
It runs better than most other boats including cats in that type of water
103mph with 525's 35'
Ok
@@Icutmetal thats a real number. what are you saying ok to? The NEW 35 will be out soon and that will even be faster.
One word "Qatar"
a cat will always outrun a v bottom boat if setup with the same HP cuz cats are just faster and take rough water alot better.
well it would depend on the conditions that day and the set up each team make in advance. 3 or 4 ft chop cats all day. calm cats all day. 6 ft plus vees take it. but again setup and prep, as for me i like vees for under deck comfort and cats for speed n sexy
lucas cornelis rough water a deep vee will always perform better
In smooth water the cats would win, but in rough water fountain would kick their ass.
BULLSHIT 180 THAT BOAT NEVER WENT 180 MORE LIKE 171.00
NOBODY builds a better V-BOTTOM than REGGIE F. THEY AINT CHEAP!
tec61 that's not true there's a number of better running vee's out there. If you ever rode in a fever it's not the most comfortable riding hull. Kryptonite lot faster with less power, Pantera better rough water hull list goes on and on
@@duro845 WAIT WHATS THAT OTHER COMPANY ......YOU KNOW THE ONE THAT HOLDS THE CURRENT WORLD RECORD?
OUTERLIMITS 181.47MPH YEAH THAT ONE!
@@craigbielsky115 it took them 8 more years to do it
@nandd100 Wrong!!!! cats will out run u in calm or rough!!!
Haha not so much you need a physics class
