I prefer the looks of the Anniv Edit, but it's hard to argue with the numbers the Black Biotch has throw out there with stock power. What did you prefer on the 35-Ex?

Geez Frank...the way you drive...you are SURE they hang on "just to see where they are going" and not "for their lives????"

The cabin layout, have no real use for the fridge and liked the style of the older galley better. Miss the U shaped cabin seating with the extra storage under the center cushion. The real biggie is the split hatches and that extra space in the engine compartment.

I do love these 525's and the performance. Don't get me wrong, I am real happy in this one. Just a few little things that I prefered in the last one. I usually forget all about them as the speedo goes past the 90 mark! I am lovin' that deal!

Hey, hippie kid, usually when someone comes with for a ride, they usually know what they're in for. LMAO

The 35 Executioner is a very very good boat. We had a 2004 with 496HOs. It had a much higher finish than my 29 Feever (same year) and it is a true and classic Fountain. The looks have always been exciting. The downsides are (if I can mention them): 496 is not enogh to "wake the boat up", go for a boat with 525s. The screen is giving poor protection in rain, lightning is much better here. Head room i cabin is less because of the shape of the deck, Fevers are much roomier. Dashboard is somewhat low for driving in standing position. Best despite this, the boat is a really high quality boat with excelent styling inside and outside. I would not considder anything else than Fountain. Best boat in the world.......

I agree with the other posts regarding the space of the cockpit in the 35 Ex. Great for 4 people total. Most of the time it's just my wife and I so it's perfect for our use.
