Its water you can run hard in. Sometimes out there, I don't care if you are in a 47 Apache, you just cant run in it. Generally speaking, having been on several old 38 Cigarettes, and obviously my boat, the Fountain is a drivers boat. It doesn't as much plow thru it, it runs over it. The Cig's have a little more plush, uneventful ride in that stuff. I prefer being a driver, to run the Fountain in that. Just because its more fun to me. Kind of like comparing driving a Vette, vs a Lincoln town car. Sure the town car is a bit more plush ride, but I wanna have fun. You can hear oso "sommerfliesby" who's doing the camera work, and "sonic700" in the back seat smiling away.One owns a 37AT, the other a 38 Cig Flatdeck. They had fun on the boat. There hasn't been any times I can think of where I've ran with my cigarette buddy's, and had been outrun by their "hulls" in rough water. However, I will give the nod to the Cig for the softer ride in the rough. Different designs, different results. But both top notch. Its all in what you like!
