To the best of my memory, doc was in the fountain.

Maybe because of the 15 years worth of zebra mussels growing on the hull.....

Doc and Brian in the same boat are dang near unbeatable......I had the fortune of being in both boats at Key West....the Outerlimits on Wednesday and (as Doc mentioned making a throttleman change) in the Fountain on Friday and Sunday....the Fountain actually had a small mechanical gremlin that we were not able to solve until the race Sunday in which it finished second to the OL and placed second overall.....Roger your comment is dead on........Both of the hulls are phenomenal and could win on any given day with the right "monkees" in the boat

Too bad OLs new super Vs aren't faster than 5+ year old Fountains!! Lol... If Reggie was involved an OL would NEVER be faster than a Fountain on the race course
