try to be a little civil around here and get your face bitten off!!! Holy smokes.

From factory no two cigarettes are the same. The red and white boats you reference did not come from factory like that. Well one might have but the other did not. Notice one is a 1994. That pint scheme wasn't even around back then.

In the interest of historical accuracy, I believe Al had 4 td's in one game. Here is a link for proof. I would hate to short my Chicago neighbors.

Tjay - former motorcycle roadracer, daddy of 5 yr old, driver of the mini van of sport boats. Hence my absolute sincerity in setting the record straight on this point.

I don't know why. No one was bashing fountain. For me personally fountain is synonymous with formula in terms of production where as cigarette is synonymous with say Outerlimits. Again not comparing speed, history, etc...just manufacturing and production settings. And not trying to bash the brand. Is that a fair assessment? What the hell do I know I own a 20 year old boat!!!

Mines 30 years old... lol, but I can say it's never been redone, or even had a transom due to a good build quality... rock solid..

Yeah but Fountains will always be just a little taller with the nose bobbing in the water! :D

This wasn't always the case. Hideaway had a hideous Gladiator for years on their floorplan (it was the one DollaBill rammed into a toll plaza). Phil redid the boat years later. Pier 57 (the original, not Chicago) had that Silver 42X with the red tribal for atleast 2,5 years on its floorplan. I am pretty sure both that Texas dealer and the LOTO dealer both floorplan Cigs today......just now it is one or two at a time.

Fountain had dozens of dealers, Cig had maybe 1/2 dozen at any given time (US dealers) so naturally there were a lot more Fountains out there, many identical.

What's the gladiator vs toll booth story?
