Thanks everyone! i think a 39 Quattro w/700s would be perfect!! I have cash ready to go. i am real close to buying a 38 fountain w/700s that does 116mph. not sure how stable the fountain would be at that speed?

Kinda like comparing a Ford to a Ferrari. OL is superior design, craftsmanship, and performance. It all depends on your application.

So i should expect a much better(stable) ride at 100-110mph in a 39 Quattro then a 38 fountain at same speed? what speed does a 39 quattro w/700s do? is there better years then others? any known issues?

Hey.......that's not true. Have you ever seen a Ferrari tow a big Outerlimits? Doesn't Mike drive a Ford F450? I think some guy in NC sold it to him. Lol. Maybe Kia to Ferrari is a better comparison? |

if you find a 05' or newer Legacy w/ 700's & NXT's for $175K call me I will take two :)
RatedX - I've called on a few of the 700/Quattro boats, should run in the 110+ range. Good luck with your search. |
GK is correct there is no comparison it's apples and oranges. The Quattro is really a 40' hull coming in at 39'-11' LOA, 9'2" Beam, equipped with cutting edge epoxy layup w/ carbon fiber top deck at 8500lbs and the paint is one off. The 38' fountain is realistically a 35' w/ out the beak, 8'-6" Beam, glass construction and 8950lbs w/ a-typical paint and lots of identical boats. The Quattro next to a 42' Fountain are very close in length, but the OL cockpit is about 12" deeper making for a much more desirable ride. The lines and performance of the Quattro are unsurpassed, they are light/fast/strong and great in rough or smooth water. Fountains are very nice lots of friends with them, but are not an OL. An educated guess would put a 700 Quattro over 110+mph.

If you are looking for a cabin that you can stand up in and actually use with AC/Heat etc look at the OL. I Happen to have a extremely clean one for sale. Fountain Boats handle well they just dont have the cabin head room and they just are not a OL. |
Which ever boat is easier to own/dock/afford/both are dream boats for me!I think from most of the posts on here if you want cabin&soft ride go OL100%!!On the other hand from what I read on here speed&handling Fountain may be on the winning side??Both super cool in their own way!Good luck!

Tell me more? how do these motors compare to mercury 700's? how many hours before needing rebuilds? this may be the boat for me. did stilettos have alum. tanks? thanks any feedback on this boat would be greatly appreciated-also you can pm me or call 908-295-9088
