That boat was a rocket sled! said Reggie Fountain about his first boat with Team Mercury.
Reggie began racing in 1954. He was 14. He started in B class hydros and runabouts. When I asked about engines, Ive always used nothing but Mercurys .My first race engine was a Super 10 Hurricane with Quincy straight pipes. They were very loud. The hydro ran 60-70 mph which was pretty fast back then, said Reggie.
Reggie claims the first thing he wanted after law school was to race. He bought a tunnel boat in 1968. It was a twin-engine, 21-foot Glastron I did pretty well at local races. You could tell the difference between independent boats like mine and the ones from the factories, said Reggie. My boat weighed 775-780
