TBoss,
With all due respect to you and BeakBoater, They are two different boats. The only thing in common between the 38 Fountain and the 33 AT is true overall length. I have run a couple of 38 525 Fountains and have beaten all in water over 2 feet and hang with the rest in smooth. The ones that run ITS and herrings pull me by a mile an hour or two.
The AT is not going to be the fastest boat in the world but it is the best riding in the class and best built. TBoss, you were in my boat, not one stress crack any ware after 115 hours with 60% of the time running in the Atlantic in 3-6's.
The 33 AT (525EFI) will run a true 92 with stock props and probably 95+ with labbed
The 37 AT (525EFI) will run a true 84 with stock bravos and 86-88 with labbed, I have seen 90.5 with Herrings on my 37 on and "ideal" day.

Have you ran with an '07 or newer? The full stagger has given the 38 Fountain a lot more speed. Lots of people here on OSO are claiming 97 MPH.
Yes, when I went to visit Active Thunder, we went out in your boat. I didn't see any stress cracks in the boat, although once Pat was finished launching it off of 6 footers, I didn't reinspect it. By the way, aren't you suppose to throttle back when you leave the water for 20-30 seconds at a time? I think he wore out the rev limiters!
