I was on a 42 years ago, and it rode great out thru gov't cut/Atlantic. I don't think I can get a 42 on either of our boat lifts, we only have 80' of seawall...... Plus, I really like the speed #'s out of the 38/700/#6 combo.

Has AT made a 37 w/ 700/NXT set-up? Brian, where are you?:drink:

I still am really interested in the Fountain 38/700/NXT combo. I called the factory this morning and talked with Wyatt for quite awhile, he was just a cool as could be. Answered all my q's, didn't try to sell me anything. I plan to meet with him in the Miami show, I'll be there with the Mystic team.

Are you comparing the 37 AT to a 38 Fountain? If so.....ride better, I guess thats debatable......faster... I think you have been drinking too much Cool-aid:drink::drink:
