Nice article and issue SOTW!
Sweet graphics and interior plus it did pretty good in that rough water inlet video.
Just not impressed. Outdated design especially the swim platform and cabin door.
What does everyone think about the speed? 120-125mph just doesn't seem that fast for 1350s. I remember multiple posts over the years from fountain skank fans saying just wait until they make a factory powered 42 or 47........ well it wasn't worth the wait.
Badazz 47 Adrenaline packed with technology gadgets and bling runs 134 with only 1100s!!!
Outerlimits SV43 runs 151 with 1350s!!! I know there's some other models that might be more fair to compare but still.
What are some other 43+ 1350 boats running????
It's awesome that Fountain Baja and Donzi are building boats just seems like they have missed the mark with almost everything coming out so far.....

Yes the 47 Adrenaline is bad ass looking, the only thing I don't like is how the engine hatch opens but haven't seen that one in person. I would like to see a write up on it. Looks like a really cool package,,,,,,

Looks even better in person and the owners of Adrenaline are some of the nicest people! Plus that hatch is really sweet especially doing maintenance in the shop!

I think a much better comparison would be a Cigarette 42x. What does a 42x run with 1350's?
