Re: Fountain the one others compare to
It is true, if anyone disputes that do a search, I have been seeing it for years here on OSO. I don't think its because Fountain is the nicest, but it probably is the nicest for the money. Every time it comes up I wish some one would compare a CIG to a OL or Nor Tech WOW then some panties would relly get wadded up. Why doesn't one of the owners of these boats step to the plate and compare their rides to another "Custom shop" of those three who is the best Cig, OL, Nor thech???????????? :evilb: whos got the balls to compare their ride to some one who spent as much $$$$$$ as you did. Or better yet compare your ride to a Skater or MTI,
WILL :drink: |
Re: Fountain the one others compare to
Lets face it,Cigs, O.L.,Nortech. Their in a whole other league.
They should be,they cost 2-3 times as much. But I must say,if Fountains are such a P.O.S. then why do they sell so many? Is it just the price ? Or just maybe alot of people actually like them? Why is it that the O.L and Cig guys always get their panties in bunches over Fountain? Are they upset because power for power Fountain blows them away? I personally would give my left nut to own anyone of the above mentioned boats and don't blame anyone one who owns one to be very proud of it. But why always the knock on Fountains. Your all just hurting us Fountain guys feelings.....BOO HOO :D :D That includes you G.L :D |
Re: Fountain the one others compare to
i did it myself recently while defending what i drive.
sorry dave :( the point i was trying to make is boats are designed for different water conditions and since the current length i can afford is under 30ft. (tow vehicle/slip size limitations) my heavy boat is perfect "for me" because of the water conditions we boat in. a 29 fountain would obviously be faster with the same power but i would get beat up pretty good too. fountains are also easy targets because of their distinct looks and nobody can deny their speed. like troutly always says. their all a comprimise in some way. and yes , you get what you pay for so who can beat fountain in the speed-per-buck catagory? none that i know of. |

Cigs and OL are what I like to think of as Untouchables.... They have a standard that know one else can touch. pretty good job touching the untouchables. Oh yea but the are all in the 1/2 mil & up range,just like Cig and O.L |
