I would argue that I've never heard one person say a fountain was loose and scary. I've spoken with many who actually claim the exact opposite. Light is debatable as well. 9000-9500 dry isn't exactly a light 35. Just because they aren't as heavy as some of the older boats doesn't mean they are "light".
My 357 formula weighed 9500

Red. Snoop around Tim on here scaled his 35 ex. Weight was impressive and by that I mean heavier than you'd think. A lot of people don't give enough credit to the hull efficiency.
Found it.

Don was a pioneer.
Reggie was an innovator.
We can nitpick the living sh*t out of their respective influences, but both were huge influences on the sport/activity/business.
As you were.

I have seen much of the documentary....it answers many questions and will put to rest many of the rumors and assumptions that have been circulated over the years....definitely worth watching

Cigs can NOT turn anywhere near like a Fountain. Everyone just talks about the beak, true length, size, rough ride, etc... Blah blah blah. 10 year old Fountains are still running well on the race course. Where are all the OL and Cigs on the race course?!

Looking forward to seeing the final production, clips thus far have been great.
Good topic for my 1000th post, since I own a contraversial model Fountain.

And by the way, "King of Offshore" is a movie title...not a fact. Titles, just like headlines, are meant to pique your interest
