Now, I don't know much about these tests, but I do think they are done at the same time (day), same water, driver, throttleman, etc. All the boats have the same horsepower and drives I beleive. Here are the results as I read them in Powerboat:

Cigarette 44 Poker Run - 10,700 lbs., HP1075's, Top Speed @ RPM 132
Fountain 42 Lightning - 10,300 lbs, HP1075's, Top Speed @ RPM 128.6
Skater 399 Vee - 4,200 lbs (w/o engine/fuel), HP1075's, Top Speed @ RPM 133.2

According to these numbers the order fastest to slowest is 1) Skater, 2) Cigarette, 3) Fountain

It seems to me that Fountain just puts the biggest, most powerfull motors in his boats to say he is the fastest. With euaul horsepower and conditions it would seem the Fountain doesn't fair quite as well.

Goin By one issue of a magazine.
WOW that shows you have done research, or you havent been around that long, or maybe you really dont have a clue.

Basicly Im sayin exactly what Downtown said.

To all the Fountain haters........its a shame that Facts have to be Facts!!

And OMG!!!......T2x is hangin' in the Fountain Fourm!!!!:party-smiley-048:

How many of these are there out there? 2 or 3 maybe? This is a HOT chit boat no doubt, and a very high quality boat, but its not a production boat like the Fountain.

and oh yea, the speed difference between the 2 Skaters and the Fountain is 5 mph. The price difference is

Cig/Skater-$K985K
Skatter-$928K
Fountain-$704K

$200K+ more for 5 mph?????????

I second that btw.......great point
