No debate, just the facts.

I see it this way:

Formula is the Cadillac of sport boats. Power, performance, smooth ride, and luxury.

Fountain is like a hot rod stripped down to fighting weight. Power and speed.

Cigarette is like a Ferrari. Well known and respected name. Glorious history. A thoroughbred. Top shelf equipment and a price to match. Designed to take on all comers.

I wish but it's the other way aroud. ;)

Keep it up.
I dare ya.

All I have to say is I'm going to Circut City and getting Photoshop! Right after work!:D :D :D :D

I'm leaving the office now! :D :D :D :D

Or negotiating the prenup! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: :p

Piece of work aren't ya!

Keep digging.:D

Are wedding bells in the not too distant future??????????

Did the rabbit die?:eek:

Okay I'm in trouble. Thanks. I'm on OSO probation.

As a matter of fact my Bird died today.:(

I thought we were supposed to be talking about why a Cigarette is better then Formula and Fountain?

I have reached the 600 post mark! Holy Cow! Woo hoo.

Im gonna have to say

1. CIG
2. Formula
3.Fountain

1.Fountain
2.Fountain
3.Fountain

But seriously I boat with people
with CIGS and Formulas.
Just depends what your likes are.
I've had fountain's for over ten years
and feel that they're a really fine boat.
Get really tired of all the negative crap
said about them on this board though.
:mad:

I agree, it gets tiresome and sounds silly after a while. They are a fine boat and I'd love to run one.

If I had to pick one of the three though, I'd go Cig, I feel it's the standard that all others are measured up to. They are truely works of art and perform beautifully.

That's what happens when you're #1. Look what Jeff Gordon (24) had to deal with.

I would have to say:

1) Cig
2) Formula
3) Fountain

It's nothing but preference and if your going to drop that much cash on a toy....you better get what suits ya best:)

Re: Formula/Fountain/CIgarette
 

Enough said! :D:D:D

OK, enough already. Time to set the record straight. My boat does 190mph, in 9 footers, with the most storage and nicest drink holders. It is the nicest looking boat and best built boat ever made and it is a Fountain !!!!! If you don't believe me just ask me and i'll tell you !!!!!!! I will whip any Cig, Formula, Donzi, and especially those piece of crap Apache boats, so bring it on suckers !!!!!! Oh and i almost forgot about those over priced pieces of elephant dung Outer Limits, i'll whoop you guys too.......

Damn that felt good !!!!!!!!Where the hell is my Friggin medication?

I agree. It seems some on OSO have a real problem with Fountain. :rolleyes:

YEP yep YEP

Try owning a Baja:eek: :eek: :eek: :mad:

After owning a Fountain:D

Then you'll return to a CIGARETTE! They don't call it a Legend for Nothing!

leg·end ( P ) Pronunciation Key (ljnd)
n.

1. An unverified story handed down from earlier times, especially one popularly believed to be historical.

a. A body or collection of such stories.

b. A romanticized or popularized myth of modern times.

2. One that inspires legends or achieves legendary fame.

3.An inscription or a title on an object, such as a coin.

a. An explanatory caption accompanying an illustration.

b. An explanatory table or list of the symbols appearing on a map or chart.

[Middle English, from Old French legende, from Medieval Latin (lcti) legenda, (lesson) to be read, from Latin, feminine gerundive of legere, to read. See leg- in Indo-European Roots.]
Usage Note: Legend comes from the Latin adjective legenda, “for reading, to be read,” which referred only to written stories, not to traditional stories transmitted orally from generation to generation. This restriction also applied to the English word legend when it was first used in the late 14th century in reference to written accounts of saints' lives, but ever since the 15th century legend has been used to refer to traditional stories as well. Today a legend can also be a person or achievement worthy of inspiring such a storyanyone or anything whose fame promises to be enduring, even if the renown is created more by the media than by oral tradition. Thus we speak of the legendary accomplishments of a major-league baseball star or the legendary voice of a famous opera singer. This usage is common journalistic hyperbole, and 55 percent of the Usage Panel accepts it.

I have a 357 sr1 formula, twin 420 hp mercs, TRS drives actually LOA is 38' because the swim platform is not counted in the length, (but how could you not count it...)
Has more room and freeboard so it handles 8-10 footers with ease, has all kinds of comforts for weekending, runs 68mph and will hold resale value for years...truly the gentlemans performance power boat. Just my 2 cents

Tricky919, thats a good post.

Fountain/Cig
Formula

Fountain holds the upper hand in performance in most water conditions, although it is getting closer. The Top Guns are picking up speed and now you have the Gladiator. Formula's fit and finish rates up there too. Formula's are just not for the "Gold chain wearing kinda guys"

like I said...after running out to Block Island from Providence, or out to Nantucket I might want to watch a dvd on the flat screen while I sip a nice single malt scotch on the rocks and in the morning I'll brew up a nice pot of coffee to start the day...you wont find any Bud Light on this boat

you got that right Troutly... how you doin? how come its gotta be so cold in the winter anyway?

i bet you back in the day don got alot more a$$ then reggie!!!
i now think the beak is a phallic symbol artificially adding to reggie's... um, stature:eek:

You guys can bash our -2' Fountains all you want, we know you wish you owned one.

Now we have an expert on who got laid the most:crazy:

um,,,
I didn't know that if you owned a Cig or a Formula
you didn't wear jewelry:rolleyes: ;)

You better hope that Boat you bought makes it to
Block Island.

Or else Ill have to tow your A## back with my Hustler
With a full Cooler of Budlite. While my 75 foot rooster tail gives you and your wife a shower:D

caveman you are brutal....maybe you could tie us together with your gold(plated) chains...and is that real genuine diamachron your wearin?

hows it comin out...I didnt know guys who drove Hustlers read threads about Formulas...I thought you just read Hustler....
