LAST POST ON THIS THREAD FOR ME AS I JUST FOUND THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH FOUNTAIN OWNERS (YES I AM YELLING) you all have selective reading issues. I have never posted the top speed of my boat, I gave you 4000 rpm cruise speed at 68 MPH. I did not put hopped up engines in a Fountain I put my old stock power in a Fountain.I never said Baja had a race history, I never said Fountains were slower I just said my Baja was faster than most of your Fountains. I never bashed Fountains quality I simply stated facts about Fountains that this guy should look at before buying one.
AND I DID IT ALL TO PISS YOU GUY"S OFF LIKE YOU GUY"S HAVE ALWAYS DONE TO US.
So with that being said if you happen to be in lake Erie and you run up against a Baja called LET IT RDE don't cry if it beats you just go out and buy one.

Brian41 no offense bro but dont you think there was reasoning for Fountain taking over Baja?One was mass produced for a performance boater on a budget.The other is more quailty/performance for more money ,both awesome boats but you cant seriously compare the two in quality nor performance.What size does baja start putting hull steps at?The best thing to ever happen to baja was getting hooked up with fountain......$.02

I don't pay much attention to other brands forums, mainly because I don't own one of their boats and don't really care, but it seems to me that there is a lot of other brands, owners that just have this fascination with coming on the Fountain forum and bashing us or telling us how our boats are supposed to run, work, or it's construction and rigging. Even in giving my opinion of the Baja I owned, I don't think I bashed the brand. I don't ever remember any of us going on a Baja forum and bashing them. Again mainly because I don't care. Everyone has a right to their opinion and if you are happy with whatever brand you have, great. But it seems that Fountain is the brand that all want to compare themselves to. Funny how when you call someone out and give them a challenge to come to a Poker Run or the LOTO shootout, that becomes their last post. What are the odds any of us are going to lake Erie? Here is the view of a Fountain he usually sees.

But......their must be some Fountains running around Lake Erie that know the boat. So either hes pretty fast, or hes never out, cause I dont see many posts from that area taking the challenge. No matters anyway, seems like the kind of guy you could never win against. You jumped the start, your boat is bigger, you engines have more horsepower, I left my fast props at home, ect. ect. ect. First its Crayola Crazy, now brian 41, whats up with these guys?

Maybe he needs to come to the Pirate's Run in June on Senca Lake NY. I would like to see this boat run, I will ride beside him and check his speed and report back. And I will not use the race boat, I will use the 42' lighting.

What I don't understand here is Brian41 is not comparing apples to apples. I have owned 6 Bajas and this is my first Fountain. The new 35 Lightning with STOCK 525 power runs over 100 from the factory. The Baja runs I think like 82 with the 525's. Put 525's in his boat and run it against the 35 Fountain and the Fountain will walk away from him no doubt about it. I enjoyed each Baja that I owned but the Fountain's rigging and build quality is by far top knotch.
