(Bob is starting to get steamed up.) Well you should think about it Jim. Who can I talk to about getting a nice second hand Cigarette boat?
Look Jim I've had enough. This isn't a Cigarette boat its a Fountain. Oh really Bob, What the FU#K is a Fountain?

From Powerboat mag:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fountain and Harris have finally found their rhythm.
"After a couple of laps, Jeff had it figured out, and we got faster and faster," Fountain said. "There isn't much room for error in conditions like that. It was a bathtub out there.
Very challenging."
But some like it rough.
"Big, bad and run kind of bold in it," Todd Klindworth said best describes his team's attitude toward racing in wind and waves. "We are a rough-water team. You have to be set up one way or the other, and this works for us."
Klindworth, and teammate Tres Martin, won the East-West Shoot-Out for the second year in a row in their 38-foot Cigarette. The pair also is running a Super Cat this year, but Factory 2 still seems to be Klindworth's first love.
"Let's just say we left some unfinished business on the table," Klindworth said.
Team Virgin started the season off strong with a win in the rough water off Daytona Beach. But the flatter waters of Fort Myers belonged to the rival Fountains of Utz Quality Foods and Lake Cumberland Marine.

With light fuel and no extra weight, 85-86 is about all I can do.

Some of the new 42's look great.
