Fountain 35 vs 344
 
Any help here. Settled on one of those two. West coast Bay and delta and Tahoe.
Pros cons looking at 344 w/525s

mattittuck 1 03-15-2008 07:59 AM

the 344 has a better ride, better accelaration, better looking, can be driven at all speeds, and is custom. the 35 lightning can top 100mph with the 525's my 344 does 94 with the 525's but the fountain SUPPOSEDLY is undriveable at that speed and really bad at low speeds. i got a ride in a 35 lightning before they started staggering the motors and it was good but after i got a test ride in a hustler that was it i had no choice i had to order one because there was no way i was going to use my formula again...

cabin in the Fountain is much smaller thn the 344(if that is important to ya') in the looks department no comparison,344

Thanks all
 
Thanks all for the input. this coming Sat will be looking at two boats then decision time.

The 344 will run over 100 with the stock 525's.

I have a customer in FL that has a 525 with Arnesons that runs 103 consistently.

pics please and congrats on the new boat

tjvelocity 03-26-2008 02:36 PM

Says 95+. Based on who set it up I would expect that to be true. It will be a while before I get it up to speed.
I hope to take delievery next week. then the learning process begins again.
