You've seemed to have missed the point.. There are a lot of brands out there.. all depends on what your looking for.. I wasn't bringing Baja into this thread, it was just one of the examples I used b/c in my case, we needed cockpit space b/c I have 2 small kids and to satisfy the other half on upgrading, we needed the room. The 35 at bent was sweet, but I knew she wouldn't go for it with a little amount of space gained. Again, at the end of the day, its all about just being on the water.

To sum this up: I like Fountains for their unmistakable looks (mainly beak and the way they sit) and of couse speed. If I didn't have small kids, I would have one!! Hope I was clearer.. take care

It's cool don't worry about it. Yes there is indeed a thread about it going on for a while.

There is a well built 35 lightning in my neighborhood that I have been lusting after, but can't get past the controls being on the wrong side of the steering wheel. I have never owned a fountain, but definitely took some licks from one in my old 38' sonic.

Bob Nordskog put a beak on a Rayson Craft and called it a Nordskog Marine boat in the 60's. He drove alone and won the 9 hour Miami race.

Bill Cooper put a beak on a 20 foot Formula and came in second in the 500 mile race from Long Beach to San Francisco.

Did someone say snow??? 5" last Saturday at my camp in Big Moose Station (about 20 miles northwest of Old Forge). Will be listening to the sweet sounds of a jacked up turbo Cat soon enough! 88 Bullet............don't feel bad, I will pass Ron on his Skidoo so fast he will think his track came off.
