Kate and I have been working on this project the last couple of nights...we're hoping to be done tonight.
The boat is a 42 foot Fountain Lightning with twin 598's 14-71 blown 1300 hp motots. :o
this thing is a monster....pictures dont do it justice.
this boat will be competing in the catalina ski race this weekend.

Thats not a boat , it's a floating bilboard!

what size vinyl cutter do you have?

That right there is one of the baddest boats you'll ever see . Fountain actually holds the kilo speed record @ 171 . Mind you thats a two way pass and then averaged . Faster of the two passes was 177 (yes thats MPH) and some change . I dont know if it still stands . Reggie is also known for pulling away from a field cats in his V-bottoms at some poker runs .Which is pretty good considering cats are by design supposed to be faster . Reggie has also put his word in writing that his boats are the fastest .
Sorry about that :-X
That looks bad ass brad and woman , great job . Looks like jay is gonna love it . Cant wait to see it front row .

That boat is in the upper eschelon of what boating is . If I could ever afford a boat that big that I wanted to easily break the century mark . It would be a fountain. Otherwise , a Hallett and yes I'm partial to the Hallett.

I did some more stickers yesterday on another boat (just numbers) and the owner offered to let me tag along on a practice run out of newport harbor.
This was my first time being out in the open ocean on a boat....4 to 6 foot swells and we were launching his 32' shockwave out of the water ....it was a blast.
Heres some pics...

those australians are some crazy bastards
20 years ago when I was in Australia the men over there hated americans, but the women loved americans. The men were crazy then too, I watched a group of high schoolers playing "football" (rugby I think), straight up "clothes lining" each other, kicking below the belt, etc... it was a blast to watch.
-
looks like the skier fell off over by catalina, they forgot to go back and get him
-
stickers looked good on jay's boat brad!!...good job......the other boat was greg's huh
.............brian
-
We took my old boat to LongBeach one time and skied in the river right off the Queen Mary. I fell off once and to my complete surprise found that I could stand up. 200 yrds from shore and only 4 ft deep. Freakin' trip that was. I love watching those Ocean racers anytime, anywhere.
-
made another last minute late night visit to jays house tonight to layup some stickers for a sponsor he got for this weekends poker run in long beach.....

those things are bad a$$. As a kid we used to take my buddy's 13 or 15' sea swirl to Catalina and ski along the breakwater/Queen Mary. Pretty crazy now that I think of it... then again skiing in Seal Beach Jetty was fun too (and warm!)
-
Some of the old guys I work with were just talking about back in the day when they used to ski to catalina behind a 100MPH flatbottom V-drive... They have pictures to prove it, I'll try to get Steve-O to let me borrow em.

How fast do the skiers go?
Does the boat knock down some of the ocean chop?
Do they ever cancel the race for rough seas?
