Speaking from experience..... I just bought my 38 fountain and I love it .
I still have my 33 Sutphen but sometimes it just gets tiresome compared to the kind of boating you can do on something like this.
Mine was set up with a second row of bolsters from fountain and it was the main reason I went with this boat vs others I was looking at.
4 people 55-60 mph drinking cocktails comfortably.
It tops 70 mph - light on everything, people, water, fuel, but consistently 68 on regular basis
but just different kind of boating all around.
I almost bought a 200k boat to replace my sutphen but figured on this and still keep the "sut" for poker runs and a days I am in that kind of mood.

agree I also checked out & test drove "renegade" in miami / 2009 boat show. nice stuff! like them allot. almost went that route.
Went with fountain because of the resale, and fish world swears buy the 38 hull.
I recommend those 2 boats.

Bill you know I will assist you personally and order a new Concept 36 built the way you want it with the right power graphics and price. I will get you the speed your looking for with the right engine and hull combinations.Remember how happy you were with your PQ right? Don't make a mistake.

We had a 2006 32SCX Glasstream with twin 250 Verado and after propping with a Merc Rev4 25 pitch props we ran 72-73 mph/GPS with 2-3 people and full fuel.
Had cuddy for overnight or out of weather and potty in the console..could put vacuflush if needed.
sexy/effecient/fast and fishable with boxes and live wells.
also like the Renegades.
and Sonic has some beautiful boats and watch what you offer cause you could be taking one home.
