Speaking from experience..... I just bought my 38 fountain and I love it .
I still have my 33 Sutphen but sometimes it just gets tiresome compared to the kind of boating you can do on something like this.
Mine was set up with a second row of bolsters from fountain and it was the main reason I went with this boat vs others I was looking at.
4 people 55-60 mph drinking cocktails comfortably.

It tops 70 mph - light on everything, people, water, fuel, but consistently 68 on regular basis
but just different kind of boating all around.

I almost bought a 200k boat to replace my sutphen but figured on this and still keep the "sut" for poker runs and a days I am in that kind of mood.

agree I also checked out & test drove "renegade" in miami / 2009 boat show. nice stuff! like them allot. almost went that route.

Went with fountain because of the resale, and fish world swears buy the 38 hull.

I recommend those 2 boats.

Looks like he has a nice 32 also - but it has Suzuki's?!?!
Suzuki outboards - any good? My Suzuki ATV is nice. . . . . . . .

TRUST me give him a call.....that 35 Renegade is a steal.... it has triple Verado 300's with low hrs, the boat runs 71 mph and it's never been proped....it has like a 10k sound system.... Garmin 3210 gps under water lights....aluminum trailer....all the works....good luck

Bill you know I will assist you personally and order a new Concept 36 built the way you want it with the right power graphics and price. I will get you the speed your looking for with the right engine and hull combinations.Remember how happy you were with your PQ right? Don't make a mistake.

The factory has a nice new 09 34 trip Fountain at a good price. Call Tony. I love my 38 TE. Had three of them now.

We had a 2006 32SCX Glasstream with twin 250 Verado and after propping with a Merc Rev4 25 pitch props we ran 72-73 mph/GPS with 2-3 people and full fuel.
Had cuddy for overnight or out of weather and potty in the console..could put vacuflush if needed.
sexy/effecient/fast and fishable with boxes and live wells.

also like the Renegades.
and Sonic has some beautiful boats and watch what you offer cause you could be taking one home.

Ive had 4 Suzuki's..I swear by them...almost 800 hours on twin 140's.

I saw a test of the Renegade, a 35' Glasstream and another 36 and the Renegade more than held its own. You won't be disappointed if you get that one.
