Thats correct about the comparisons. I know the 33 lighting came out 3 years ago and I have not seen one yet on the lakes or heard to much about it. I know the market went to crap but I have seen a lot of other new boats in that size range.

I think value and long term return on your initial money outlay the fountain sounds like a better deal if they are the same price or close to it.

I'd sell you my 2008 donzi 28 ZXO for well under 100k with 377's, hydro steering, etc. This way you can poker run and go to the sand bar with plenty of room to spare

The reason I went with my boat over the others is the fact that I end up at the sand bar more than I end up running ballz out so I wanted more room and performance Vs. just performance.

How does it handle when your on poker runs or large bodies of water?
