Sonic beat 'em all!!!
I just got the new Boating mag. in the mail last night and they have a great writeup / comparo. on Sonic vs. Fountain vs. Cigarette vs. Formula, and Sonic was the overall winner! They put ea. companies 30-32 footers out to test and it was very interesting... Noteables: The cig was $300K (ouch) and ran 100 mph. They said that the Fountain came up short ( no pun here...) because the running surface was really 5 feet shorter than the rest due to the 2' platform and the 3' "bow overhang" (new phrase there...). The Formula actually ran with a lean to one side with no apparent cause or fix, other than adj. the tabs. And the Sonics only real shortfall...!? They used glass type fuses instead of breakers like the rest.

You mean a real report that lists real flaws???????
cant be. Powerboat would never say that about fountain, tell about a formula list, or say anything negative about any of those boats. They would say they are all too close to choose a winner.
cant wait to read.

I think they all make a great product...but , how can they make a real accurate comparison of these boats when they had all different engine options?? Not to take anything away from Sonic--I like their boats.
