I'm so confused, if you're talking about who's faster in any water conditions look and see who has won the most races and holds the records. If you talking about what boat is best for your specific use... opinions are like (you know) everybody has one. By the way, Fiore hasn't been anywhere near the kilo course in a long time

I have a 42 Ex w/ standard merc 4 blades and my friend has the 38 ZR w/ 6 Blade Herings. Both boats are 525 Staggards. The Donzi has the ITS , the Fountain has standard XR's. The Donzi runs at least 88,89mph from what I've seen while my Fountain runs 82. The Donzi and the Fountain both seem to ride really nice. The bed in the v-berth of the Donzi does not have much head room. I'd be happy with either one really.

OK, so what is it that you are calling BS on?
The LBS that where given were from the MFG's. Look'em up yer'self.
The speeds were from real life experince with BOTH boats running in the same water side by side and with both guys in each boat.
If you have the same experince with different results then post'em, if not then I suggest you watch who you are calling out.

I have personally seen 90 in a 525 38ZR and 83 in a 525 42 Fountain Lightning. The Donzi is faster!!
