Default Lookin for a lightning when I ran into this!!!

Not really new to the website but new to owning a fountain. I picked this 04 up in Jersey last February and put 60 hours on it over the summer in the Cheaspeake Bay. After owning a Baja 29 Outlaw for 6 years it was time to move up. I absolutely love the thing and wanted to show it to you all. By the way - that is just a wash rack that I used for the pictures - the boat sits in a custom stepped rack that supports the boat from the transom all the way forward.

I see alot of sparks when towing.

Congrates on the boat. How do you like the ride compared to your Baja?

To US1 Fountain - Mutley rules. I hate to knock another brand but the Baja was just not up to the demands of the Chesapeake Bay - it has really gotten nasty over the last couple of years. There is really no comparison - the Fountain rides level, it is so smooth, it is controllable at all speeds, with an average burn of 22 gph and get this - the wife actually likes it.
