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.

I run with a group of Baja owners that take great pride in their boats. Anywhere from a 22 or 24 up to 38. They have all kinds of powerplants. A good friend of mine runs a 36 with 496's and you would swear by the way he drives that the engines are much bigger. He manages to always be in the main group on any poker run. That said, and even with my 32 Baja the boats are always running at their limits. I watch how other boats run and handle, most of the Baja's are limited out, not by HP but by hull design. The hull is not made to go 100 plus, there are very few that do. Not saying that none will, but not many do especially in the shorter hulls. Fountains are made to do this. I have an '05 42 EX /525's staggered with the twin steps and weighs around 11K that will run all day at 80 plus and tops out around 84-85. My buddy and mechanic has an '05 35EX with the older style single step hull with side by side 525's that weighs 9K that tops out around 86-88. Technology and design makes the difference. I will take the stability and speed of a Fountain, knowing that it has another 20-30 mph left in the hull with bigger motors, versus a boat that is running at it's limits of hull technology and stability.

That might be a little overkill for the situation dont you think. :evilb::drink::evilb:

:D :D :D

Notice that sign is sitting on the back of a 32 which did sit very low in the stern with big block power. Not all Fountains just this particlular model are the ones that have a tendency to take on a little too much h20. I repeat not all Fountain models. Personally I have owned a 32 and loved the boat.

On my 32 the rub rail is right at the water line, no need for a boarding ladder.

The Fountains are a little smaller if you're comparing by length, but why not move up to a larger Fountain and get the best of both worlds? There will never be a better time to buy a boat, so buy one that will meet your future needs and is built well enough to last. Hopefully you got some information you can use before this thread went south. I have been very happy with my Fountain!

BRIAN 41 is just jealous :eek::ernaehrung004:

He just think he knows and seen it all ,,,,,,:Whatever:
