The Fountain seems to be the best bang for your buck speed wise. The Donzi is pretty as hell though, I wish I had to make a tough decision like that.

First price. You'll save money buying 38 or 42 Fountain.
#2 cockpit is very tight compared to Fountain. I could barely fit into bolster. Me 5 9" 180.
You and I must be shaped really different, I'm 5'10" 225, and I found the bolsters perfect......

In these pics I'm the "little" guy in the back behind the driver, the 2 other guys were well over 6', and we have lots of cockpit room.
I don't have any first hand info on the 42 Fountain Poker Run Edition, except that is a sweet looking ride.
