Haven't had much chance to use my new(used) one yet. Are Fountains wet boats compared to Cigs, OL or just some models? Specifically is there a difference between Ex's and Lightnings? Please post experience not just opinion.

When you asked "wet" do you mean "stuff-age"...Yeah I've stuffed mine a few times up here on Lake Michigan.

i've been on a 42 a few times. it was a very level, comfortable riding boat....but we did get wet a couple times when it got rough.

i thought the beak was supposed to deflect the water so you didnt get wet

All boats are wet. They float in the water!! Well not mine but most do

I have ridden on a few and found them not to be any worse then others.

Less feeboard than most.

Not stuf***e I hope! Just getting the family and the women splashed too much. We had a 33 Baja before this and was not a wet ride at all even with moderate cross wind.

I agree with Jon on both statements!

Well you might get some spray back at ya since the bow is farther forward and the water has more time coming across in a cross wind.
