Why does some yo yo with a Baja hijack a thread from someone who honestly wants advice. Does any Fountain owner do this on the Baja forum? We all know you want a Fountain. Get a life. go play on your own forum.

I don't get it either. I would have a hard time bragging on this thread about a 32' Caliber that tops out at 68 with a load of pickle meat on it. Nothing wrong with liking your boat, whatever the brand, but give me a break. Most of the Fountian owners are talking 100 plus mph with stock engines. I have a stock 42' that weighs double his boat and I run 84 mph in most any water. Fountain envy?

FACTS:
1. They do have a history of sink at the docks= undisputable
2. A 35 Fountain has 30' of hull in the water= undisputable unless you stick the tape measure up a tall pipe our call the beak part of the hull in the water which would work if it sunk at the dock.
3. No freeboard= undisputable and one of the reasons they sink at dock
4.No cockpit room for the size of the boat compared to Baja= undisputable.
5. Cabin is made for midgets= Undisputable
6. In the 11 years I have run my Baja in the downriver area I have only been beat by 2 Fountains....both were race boats.
I put my stock power in a 35 Fountain the first year I owned my boat and yes the Fountain did run 2 mph faster than my Baja but when we rafted off my 32 Baja makes the 35 Fountain look like a 30.

This guy sees one Fountain sink at Put-in bay and all of a sudden they all sink. lol. I can't remember but I will bet the one that sank was a 32 with big blocks or an older 29 with twins. Those are the only two models that were slung down low enough in the stern to possibly take on water. That is a fact Jack! This guy is all fiction and no fact.




sleep is good me drive a BAJA me drive slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Ttt Ttt
