I like the 47 with the windshield. The 42 I could live with but prefer the classic lines. The rest look better with a fairing or windscreen. Maybe Fountain is trying to make a Formula. 
I have been trying to trade my 97 35' for a 2002 35' classic. I know the lightning has a much better bottom but still like the old lines.
I wouldn't worry about Fountain not making it. I have been trying to finalize a deal since December 19th. The hold up is about the Mercury's ITS. I was looking to be the first Fountain to try it. I was asking for some help on the price. As of yet they haven't returned my calls or dealers calls.
I guess there to busy selling boats.
It might be time to call Cigarette or Active Thunder. They are defiantly more flexible on there graphics.
One way or another I’ll be boating in something this year.

BTW Raymond’s has a nice looking left over 2001 35’ classic.
Mark,
A 42’ won’t fit in my Warehouse otherwise you know what I’d buy.

I agree with you about placing themselves out of their niche. I purchased my 2nd Fountain because, you don't need to explain anything, people know it is built for speed!!! I really do not like they super cruisers and 38 cruiser? Plus they are not selling like any. The winshield on the smaller boats looks like Formula, Scarab, Baja..... Plus the graf. do suck, I only like the Stealth and Art Deco, so I got the Stealth. Instead of spending $$?? on developing cruisers I wish they put more in Speed and Racing.

I pretty much agree with everything said. I like the race fairings and for God sake offer a decent graphics package that uses more than 2 ounces of paint! I have the Top Z in red, navy and yellow. It's OK, but I'd like to see more wild stuff like Sonic, AT and some of the custom builders are diong.
