So nobody has any opinions on this? Somebody out there must have been in a 12 meter and a cig same vintage. I'm curious, as my boat is new to me and would like to know where I stand in the big stuff.

they both are big and heavy, and ride better than a 29. when you get in 10 footers at the put-in-bay poker run you will know how they run. But bring brass those boys play hard.

I have rode in both and i own a 38 Fever and i love Fountain. But a 38 Top Gun in Rough water will outride a Fountain any day. I have been In a cig stepped non stepped and a old Kevlar cig and they ride like tanks. A 10 or 12meter will handle what is in Front of it and will ride very well with a good driver who knows how to trim a boat. Cigs are somewhat effortless. The disadvantage with a cig is it takes alot more power to make them go. As we know Fountain has them Dominated in the speed dept. And a old Fountain looks better than a old cig and there are more ways to update a Fountain.
