[QUOTE=boatnt;3995260]actually Jordan its a 10M = 33' so its 5 feet longer but if you take away the beak its a 24'lol
I just asked if there was another video because the water did not look to be that rough and I get a reply like this (jab at fountains )so I just posted the video to show that Fountains do run in rough water and if they wanted they would of been right there with the 33 A/T..[/

I have a friend that had a 08 35 fountain with 525's ran 100 mph in smooth water but he did a AT thunder run and couldn't keep up in the rough water so he bought a 08 42 fountain with 700's. Fountain's are fast boats but IMO a 33 active thunder will out run a 32 or 35 fountain with the same power.

You really think those were 5s? I went on that run too, it was rough no doubt, but 5s?

Yes 3-5's on the THURSDAY fun run, not the sat poker run. I started in the back with 21 boats messing up the water ahead of us. A lot of boats broke parts on the Thursday fun run. It was a great day but hard on boats actually trying to run fast. Slow down and plow your fine, but running 60mph trying to pass a few guys it was pretty rough! Good times that's for sure! I will post video this winter.
