Looking for experienced opinions, stuck between formula 312 Fastech w/ 502MPI's and Fountain 32 Fever w/ 500HP's.
Always enjoyed the quailty of my previous Formula's but never owned a fountain. Still want quality not just speed.

Help??

Good friend had a 312 with Std 496's. 78 mph boat. Amentities were very nice just like every Formula I have ever been on. I was not impressed with the ride at all. I have been in numerous other boats in the same size that road much better. I would look at at something else like a Active Thunder , Scarab 33 AVS, or even a Sunsation Dominator. None will have the interior fit and finish of the Formula though.

A "versus" thread.
Awesome.

"extra butter please!!!"

Thanks. Interesting stuff, I'll be checking on them!!

From what I have heard:
Formula 312 doesn't have a great ride in the rough
Fountain 32 has a very tight engine compartment and difficult to access the bow over the windshield

Beware 32 fountain s,very lowe in the rear ,lots of water leaks,check moister in transom before you buy one.

The engine bay room is a big reason I passed on a Fountain 32

Fountain faster, Formula better.

What about this?

There is a 96 38 Scarab in the classifieds which is a better deal than that 32
