Re: 42 Fountain bottoms ?
I bought my 2005 42 new and love the boat. Had a 35 for 8 yrs prior.
You won't crush waves, but rather skip over them. The faster you go the better it will ride which takes some getting used to.
Test ride one first and you will answer your own question. Happy shopping

Pair A Dice was a 42 Lightning full pleasure version with no light lay-up. A 3rd bolster could be popped in front for the 3rd man when needed.

I do know since the large step 42 bottom came out there have been a few revisions to it due to racing and Reggies on going R&D.
