A friend wanted to buy a new one but was told by Fountain that they are discontinuing this model. They claim they are competeing with themselves. I don't see how the 47 Sport Cruiser would compete with an Express Cruiser. Two different beasts - In my opinion.

I know this is mostly a high performance group but I am hoping that you can help. I need to get out of my current high performance boat and change gears for some time to accomidate my family. I am looking in the 35 plus range and trying to spend no more than275k. I want a boat that can run in the 55-60 +mph range( is this unrealistic) but yet have plenty of room in the cockpit for lounging out and entertaining, and extremely comfortable accomidations in the cabin. I have three children who enjoy being out on the water but also we want to spend every weekend at our marina on it. I have looked into pure performance offshore boats but found that the cockpits are small and the cabins seems to have no headroom. Any suggestions, I know Formula makes a SuperSport.

The Fountain is faster and more maneuverable than the 400SS with the same power, but would not be nearly as accommodating for a family of 5 overnighting.
