You are the first one to bring up "Fountain built the best of the production boats".
Everyone else is brainwashed that fountain is the best, overall, out of everyboat, in every situation, for everyone, against everything, in every catagory, no matter what, fountain or nothing! LOL!
I never argued they might be the best out of the production boats, but there are many other things to consider. Price, looks, condition of used boat, etc. Depending on each persons situation.
Here in Michigan we sleep on our boats! The days are sunny, 80, and beautful looking down 30ft deep and seeing sand bottom, and the night cools off for great sleeping without the humidity. I understand everyone boats differently, just stating my opinion on how some of us boat. Almost every sport boat still have a cabin, v birth, etc. for a reason. Sorry you guys are missing out on the best part of boating! Everything is better on a boat, I mean everything

I actually prefer sleeping on the boat and I don't even have a real cabin. I would just rather be with the other boaters and on the water. Many of the marinas around the Great Lakes, PIB comes to mind, have top notch facilities for the boaters. Air conditioned showers and rest rooms and a marina store that sells beer and local wine. Wi-fi too! Not only does it save the cost of a motel room but it is more fun sleeping on the boat. My next boat will definitely have a full cabin. The marina at Cedar Point has two restaurants, one upscale and one regular, a swimming pool, at least one store, fuel of course and a private entrance to the amusement park that opens one hour before the main entrance! If you guys aren't using your cabins you are missing out on a big part of the fun of boating IMHO.
