Free boat!
 
Ok, you can just have it, free & clear. No tax, no nothing. Equal power. Fountain or Outerlimits?

Again,asinine pole. Everything thing you buy & own is based
on price vs. form & function. What you can afford dictates many
of your decisions. Very few people can afford an O.L. with big
power. Thats why a hands down pole of "which would you rather
own" can't be realistic in this case. Hell, I might pick a new 80 ft
Nortech if they are giving them away. But their not, and niether is
O.L. Now, if I had 300k cash to spend on a boat, I just might buy
a Fountain over an O.L, rather than have an O.L and put 300k down
and carry a 400k loan. Get my point ? If money was no object, I
would probably take the O.L. But money is always an object,isn't
it ?

That’s not necessarily true. Let’s say you have money like Bill gates. Or maybe half his money. We’re talking billions here. So what’s $500 mil? There are people out there that have that kind of money and the difference in price between the fountain and the OL is insignificant.

Most of us on this board have pretty nice boats but it’s all relative. I just bought a new boat but some one might tell me I could have bought an older one with bigger power that is faster and still saved some money. I wanted a new boat and felt I could spend the extra money for it.

See, it’s all relative. Just depends on the dollar scale you are operating on!

I voted outerlimits, but my Scarab was free and clear..... Dad always told me if you cant pay cash for a toy you don't need it. That is why I only have a 28' Scarab :(

So true i could have bought a new boat with big power for what i paid for a used Cig. If my only options for a boat were those 2 i would spend the money on the OL

Easy, take the Outer Limits, sell it to buy a fountain and waterfront condo for the same coin.

If you already have all the toys and waterfront properties that you want, keep the Outer Limits.

I think the poll means you will be executed if you drive any other kind of boat.

Thats why I said if money was no object I would probably
take the O.L. But for most of us money is a issue.
The polls are straight up......which would you take,
an O.L. or a Fountain. Cant be compared, same size
Fountain,with equal power is half the price of an
O.L.
Lets face it, that poll was started as a knock
on Fountain. As usual all the O.L. fans are always
trying to knock Fountain. Its like saying, I make
money than you, I have a bigger house than yours,
My girls better lookin.......NA NA NA NA. NA NA....
Only problem is Reggie kicked Fiores azz in the
Kilo run and they just can't stand it !!!!
So now we talk about rigging,carbon fiber,rigging
paint jobs,rigging. Hey for 400k extra, I can get some
serious rigging done!!! No doubt they make an awsome
boat. But for the money Fountains are pretty nice
too. I'm proud to say I've owned two,and own one now.

1-22' Sea Ark Jon boat to duck hunt of

I have to agrees with the "asinine poll' comment. Everything you buy or have comes down to money.

A better poll would be... If you had $100,000 to spend on a new boat, what would you get and how would you power it?

In a boat you have can have: fast, big, cheap... pick two! :p
