I usually agree with you but not today. In every day conditions over here your boat is not a 100mph boat and either is mine. We're both gonna run about eighty depending on water conditions and maybe faster if you got big balls. Some people buy certain boats that they feel comfortable for there water conditions. I'm not gonna get into fountain this or cigarette that, but if you bring your boat over here you will never go a hundred and other boats may surprise you. Your river running and inland lake speed doesn't mean ****t to me
I am spoiled by inland lakes and rivers in upstate ny. The op boats in Erie and the Niagra river. Would you say a fountain is a bad choice for him in a 33-35 size?

he is in Erie Pa. he isnt a river boater. But for boating on the niagara and setting the river on fire like in back to the future yup a 33/35 fountain would be ideal. as for the lakes i would have a couple different choices of boats id rather be in. i would take a 80mph cig vs a 100mph fountain for the majority of boating done on the great lakes

Almost forgot the OP was asking about ride quality. Coming from a 28 I still think his expectations will be met with a 33/35 fountain. Sure a 38 cig, or 41 apache would be a better boat for huge water, but he has been doing it in a 28. Also the op has limited garage space.

Waa waa waaa god some if the cig guys are uber annoying. A 16ft sea ray is as big as a 33 fountain. Oh yeah the Great Lakes, no one has ever run in bigger water. Try actually going offshore. A 33 fountain will run in any water a pleasure boater wants to be out in.

[QUOTE=4bus;4103624]Never said it will run top speed in all conditions, and I never get surprised by a larger hull running good in big water. Point is I am sure there is better for some days, but I am also sure there fountain is better on some days as wells that is never mentioned when taking down about a fountain.

I can't say since I've never been in a 33 or 35. I have been in a 38 and would be a better choice in my opinion for Lake Erie. The bottom line is your boat fits your needs as does mine. Doesn't mean one's better than the other. I just get sick of people dogging older straight bottom boats because they're slow when around here 70 is plenty fast on most days.
