Top Gun Unlimited vs 42 Lightning
Looking to move up in the world and considering these a 39 Top Gun Unlimited or a 42 Fountain Lightning. Looking for both with 700's and wonder which one is faster and which one is better in rough water. Your opinions would be appreciated.

cigarette will be the first choice on here.. the fountain will be faster in smooth water any kind of rough water the cig will be faster..
The cigarette will be way better built. but way more money as well.

If you're actually looking to "move up" then the Cig is the way to go. I'm not sure it's really slower than the Fountain in smooth calm water, but if you know how to drive, you'll walk away from the Fountain in the rough. And with the Cig, you won't be putting the interior and other parts of the boat back together when you get back to the dock. I've owned multiple Fountains and Cigs. Night and day difference with the build quality and materials between the two boats. The Cig may cost more, but you get what you pay for. Talk to Phil at Lipship, he's got some 39's.
