Will, Will, Will,
I have 700hps (Ron Potter prepped 575's) in my Comp. and it HAS beat the 700 Fountains. I have yet to run a 700 PR 42 yet so I can not say how it will run but I know it will hold its own.:cool:
Walked a 37 Outerlimits GTX with the same power too.:drink:

I think everybody here knows that, I didn't think I had to spell it out, but it still means the same thing if there are a ton for sale the price and need / want go's down. Vs. only a dozen or so for sale. Nobody I know want's to pull up to the dock and see the same boat they have. I know both boats are good fast boats but when I look at a boat to buy I look to be a little differant than the next guy and resale. The Donzi has both over the Fountain and if you are not a one brand guy there are also a few other boats to look at now with the way prices are dropping.

You guys are going around in circles comparing way too different of boats.

So far mentioned:

38 Fountain Lightning (pleasure boat)
42 Fountain Lightning (pleasure boat)
42 Fountain PR (pleasure-ized race boat; no cabin)
38 Donzi ZRC (preasure-ized race boat; no cabin)
38 Donzi ZR (pleasure boat)

Get your boats straight and then compare apples to apples.




Then come see me and find out why the AT is better. :D :D :D

If Tom A. and me are in his boat - you can scrub 10mph of the top speed of his 38ZRC :p

Are you saying that AT is a better boat?

I don't have to get my facts straight because I stayed right with the original question and gave my opinion of the two boats Mike is looking at.

Guess I should have told him a Baja would be a better choice.:rolleyes:

'Typed' totally in jest Mark. To each their own on which is "better."

Of the 5 boats I mentioned, I like the ZRC better. I've driven the "dog killer" and loved the boat.
