Default New Lightning

I heard through the gape vine that Fountain is in the process of redesign for the next generation 42 Lightning. Anyone have any info on this?

Actually, I thought the next boat they were coming out with was a 40 foot poker run boat.

BTW, what's your opinon of the 38 fever? Would you recommend it? I love the cockpit space in the 38 fevers and was thinking about one as my next boat, but I was also wondering about how it felt in the water. I love how my 35 is so nimble but was wanting something that takes the big waves a little better without feeling too big.

True, Fountain has redesigned the 42 Lightning with a new step bottom, dash, sliding door for the cabin and new deck.

True, Fountain has redesigned the 47' Lightning

and finally, True, Fountain has its first 42 Poker Run sit down model in the mold.

Any idea when we'll see the first pictures? I've been looking at 42's, but this just might be worth the wait...

I have been told the first poker run edition 42 is in the mold with a september or october completion date. I have not seen any pictures of the redesigned 42 but I should have my new boat the middle of October.
