Thanks for the other leads. I really like the idea of the sit down, better for going fast, lighter. I already have a place at the lake why do I need drive around with another one in the front of my boat.

38 Donzi Competition hands down!
Best sit down V out there. It rides like a Cadillac, handles like it is on rails and has proven its worth with multiple National and World Championships.
Before I bought mine, I test rode the Donzi, Gladiator, and an Outerlimits 37 GTX. The Donzi was the clear choice for me. I like the older Outerlimits GTXs but finding a good one at a good price is tough. I love the look of the Gladiators but wasn't sold on it and the back seat is a rough ride with very little freeboard. The Fountain as you said has a very tight cockpit.
Now if you have deeper pockets, the newer epoxy Outerlimits, Statement and Skater V's are really nice.
Will an epoxy boat outrun the Zr hp for hp......yes.
Will an epoxy boat cost twice as much ... yes.
Personally, I am not a fan of the ride in an epoxy boat. Every ripple and bump can be felt because the boat is so rigid.
In the end it will be up to you but I HIGHLY recommend getting in a few different ones to see what is best for you!

It seems I have a few other boats to look at too now. I take my time with decisions and do a lot of research. I keep my boats for a long time so I want to make sure to get the exact right boat for me. I use my boat mostly at LO so I want something at least 36-38' long and up to 42' long. MY boat now is 33', have to go bigger. I want to start doing poker runs in TX and in FL with the boat. I would love to find the perfect boat for just over $100k, but the budget will go up to low to mid $200k to get what I want . Speed would need to be in the mid 90's minimum, breaking 100 would be even better. Fuel injected is a must. No carbs for me.
