The 39 with 700's is probably the best recreational v-bottom on the water IHO. Sorry if this is off topic, but what are the prop specs on your boat? diameter, pitch, blades, etc.

No I see the boat regularly and he doesn't own a trailer so if the boat breaks it is hard not to notice it missing off the lift! Boat has had the MAP sensor changed on both motors and just ate a water pump. Other than that it has had filter/fluid/impeller changes only. Boat has been to the Bahamas three times and the Keys three times (which is actually further from where he lives than the Bahamas). Boat is run once/twice a week and he runs it WFO every chance he gets. He strongly believes having standard XR's vs. shorties extended the life of the drive (to the point he wouldn't buy another boat with shorties even if it was 1-2 mph faster).

I think you have been away from Bravos too long with stock/mild power. Not exactly a identical comparison but I have over 300 hours on my Bravos (377ci 6.2's aren't exactly torque monsters and a 32 Sunsation isn't real heavy :D). The only failure I had was a cone clutch back at about 50 hours.

Put a pic of that "up to date 1990 Fountain" of yours. I want to see it big guy.

I thought that the illiterate sonofa***** who put the apostrophe behind Cigarette must have gone to boatbuilding school instead of English class. Dave Barry once said that the apostrophe was used to warn you that there was an "s" coming in a hand written sign.

Wait for the next one!!!
 
Well Hustler's Ad seems to have had some impact - That's what advertising is all about. The next issue of Poker Runs America is at the printers now. Anyone want to guess who they are going after this time ?

i believe i have seen the ad before, first time was maybe 3-4 years ago, if not the same ad it was very similar.

Everyone likes what they have so you'll be hard pressed to find an unbiased opinion, no matter how good/bad the ride.......

And remember, there's no room for truth on the internet!

OL40SVX 10-26-2009 12:26 PM

customryder 10-26-2009 07:23 PM

nor tech? if not they should since they are selling way more boats!:drink:

Back4More 10-26-2009 07:25 PM

Fountain is a well known product. It may lack certain things, but at least you know what you get .You get a great hull and alot of performance for your $$. Hustler is an unknown. The quality of their boats have been ok, but nothing spectacular. Maybe the latest models have improved. Who knows. Its consistency that counts. Both Cig and Fountain are consistent. And, that's where I would put my $$ before I go with an unknown. Again, I wish Hustler the best and look forward to personally inspecting their new line-up.

Sorry. No disrespect intended. (One too many beers that night). I do like Fountains, just feel that Hustler is a little more custom built. That being said, with unlimited resources, I'd buy a Cig.

No problem and wise choice. :D

OL40SVX 10-26-2009 11:44 PM

If your forgetting, Hustler has been around as long as Fountain and was the first Vee with steps sold to the public!

"Bayliner" !! Isn't that the thing they just fitted in SanFrancisco to keep the water in ?

I think he's talking going after in the ad? not purchase? in this guessing game... correct?

Sick Stinger 10-27-2009 10:43 AM

Paradise ill let you know in about 6 months when i put the engine back together in the Cig. But They are powered differanly and Trs/bravo differance also. Cig(cafe) is 750/540 NA's with TRS. Hustler is 32 with 502 550's with bravos.

I would say the only company making the size and type boats they do at this time is Outerlimits.

I would only spend money going after the competition so my vote is Outerlimits.

What do I win?

Nice to hear from you.............
You win a trip to the optician for a quick eye test - Outerlimits has already been knocked out of the running. - LMAO
