Fountain the one others compare to
Why is it that every time you turn around everybody is comparing Fountain boats to other boats, you never see someone comparing a Cigarette to a Outerlimit or Nor Tech I quess Fountain is doing something right. just about ever boat out today has a molded swim platform as for as the nose its a styling issue get over it. You either like it are you dont.

Re: Fountain the one others compare to
cig, OL and baja don't have molded in platforms in their hp versions.... and i think most people are comparing their fountain to those boats, not the other way around.

Re: Fountain the one others compare to
??? it's always Cigarette or Scarab people that don't know what they are talking about say. But except for top speed and it ain't much more for size and #'s there is NOTHING on a Fountain that compare's to my Nortech, and only Cig and OL come close or better. Fountain is a mass produced off the shelf boat, not a custom boat builder. They win races I'll give them that but so does Dodge and I wouldn't own one of them either. Before somebody says something about price, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.

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. |

For you to compare a Nor-Tech to a V bottom is crazy. It's a completely different class. It's like comparing apples and oranges. Nor-Tech is an Awesome boat. I'm a fan of all custom boats. If we were going Cat I would encourage a Nor-Tech |

Re: Fountain the one others compare to
Fountain has the PR game down. They make a fast boat that sets records and wins races. Why? Because that's their focus. Nothing wrong with that. If speed is your number 1 priority then I definitely think Fountain should be at the top of your shopping list. People compare other boats to Fountains wondering if they will be as fast with the same power. Chances are they won't. However, Fountain is not the gold standard to use for comparing comfort, safety, amenities, quality, ride, etc. etc. and people in the know don't use it as one.

That includes you G.L :D Fountain must be doing something right there is 20 of them on our lake and only one Cigarette... I bought a new Foutain in 1989 and have nothing but good to say about the boat I had. Some others that now have Cig's on this board have not had the same experience. It's nice to have this useless discussion every 6 months or so!!! :D:D:D |
