The 27 is more of a 25 foot boat because of the extended beak in front and the molded swim platform. Fountain stoped making the 27, but there are still some left over in inventory.

I would go with the 27 Fountain because of build quality, but I am biased against west coast boats. I have read good reviews on the Howard Bullet, but mostly through Hot Boat who is reaaaaaally biased towards their west coast boats.

A 27 Fountain will be fine as a starter boat. We ain't talking no 100mph race machine here.

Why loose money buying a smaller boat, only to step up later in the summer?
