It was the way you worded the post that got my dander up, but let me say this about Fountain raceboats; they dominate almost every race they enter. The performance they show here is now being shown in P1. Two-time Evolution World Champions pretty much says it all.
And the V bottom record of 171 is unlikely to be surpassed unless another Fountain does it(Cigarette tried and failed). I read somewhere that the boat ran 178 on the first pass. Reggie might run his mouth a lot but his boats back him up. Can't ask for more than that.

Fountain builds the fastest Vee's on the planet. It's only when they run their mouth about being CatKillers the claws come out. I was at the Fountain/SBI trailer during one of the races that CK broke and actually heard cheers. Not a real good sign of love for the manufacturer/sponsers.

Shame is He is his own worst enemy sometimes. Its hard for CK to live up to all the hype. Beside the record speed run there is no good reason to put that much power in the boat. It breaks too often. It chases away boats in the class, many of which are Fountains.
I suggested to Brett at LOTO that he should run his 525 SuperV in V unlimited. He wouldn't saying he would get killed. I responded that no one with big power is likely to finish all 3 races. Had he according to average speeds and miles he would have beat all the V Unlimited boats. The only two that proved more worthy ran in other classes were the Worldwide and Hard Rock boats.

Does anyone know how fast CK has gone? Is it anywhere close to the record boat Fountain built?

I think the closest was the Cig. Heard around 166?

3100HP and 170MPH I think?
Rio Roses 42 w/1500 Sterlings 171.888 is the record

The Cig could have beat the record (yea, yea, yea I know..."Should'a would'a could'a) I just don't thing people know how close they were to beating and in fact DID beat it on a one way pass. Johnny said there was a whooooooole lot more in the throttles but the boat got very squerlly (balancing a bowling ball on a razor blade).
Skip was told right then and there that if he padded the bottom it'd easily beat the record. Skip already had a sh!t load of money into the project and decided padding the bottom would take away from the boat being a legitimate Cig. So they scrapped the project. Then the Kilo boat was turned into one of the baddest poker run boats ever built, that thows an awe inspiring rooster (pictured in the foreground of the second pic).

And just to re-iderate...Fountain Powerboats could be soooo much more than they already are if the public relations/advertisement team would kidnap Reggie and lock him up in the basement. He's a f*ck tard and needs to keep his inflated arrogance to a minimum. Being the most conceded person in performance boating has not helped boat sales...it has however done one thing...Make him the most loathed person in Performance boating.
that's just my .02 cents on the whole CK topic. carry on:sifone:

1550s the same motors Gino has and he runs 185+.

Yeah I forgot about that one way pass over 172. I don't see how a pad would hurt Cigarette's image. It was a top speed project after all. He should have taken a sawzall and cut that keel.
And if JT was scared enough to back off, you KNOW that boat was dangerous at those speeds.

BTW I think what Ilmor has done, marinizing the Viper motor, has been an outstanding success and a great contribution to performance boating. First in pleasureboats, now twice World Champion motor in P1 racing. Congratulations to Ilmor for building a motor that is as reliable on the racecourse as it is in Poker Runs.

I think 1550 is a model number on those sterling PSI motors, at least the ones in the fountain. :26::26:
