So appearantly this is a pshop job. Those that knew this kept fueling the fire by saying it was real. I guess boat rollovers are funny..... :rolleyes:

Just glad it didn't really happen to someone.

Man...call me Joh Kerry....Mr flip flop.....


It looks like the rollover really did happen and the powers to be are tryin to keep as much as possible hush hush over on OSO.....

The funny part is that if from the get go when someone asked about the incident if the first answer was ... "a boat rolled, everyones ok, still investigating" instead of "It's fake, it didn't happen" the thread would be like 20 pages deep and no one would care...... c'est la vie.

It looks like it's getting towed... I'm sure some marina down there knows about it.

sometimes, when driven to their limits or by folks who may not quite know what they are doing and a whole lot easier than standard hulls.

The background rumbles continue on how many people go swimming in Gladiators on a semi-regular basis. I always wonder how much of this is a big checkbook and big power with no seat experience.

A couple of 38ZRCs have gone over racing, but if Powerball/Mega-Millions hits soon, I would take one in a minute.

Or how about the mess we had up here a couple of years ago at the Smoke On the Water PR with an Outerlimits?

I have driven and rode in Fountain hulls at well over 100 and never felt like we were going to go swimming, but I sure respected the limits of the boat.

Another Reggie conspiracy? Really. Interesting how you don't see much about handling issues with ANY of the large go-fast makers.
