dude do you really think I give a $hit?? I dont,,,
you are always up here telling us about your stupid old Cig and what a great ride it gives,,I have seen pictures of your boat its ok,,nothing great just ok for a 30 year old boat,,,just go out have fun and enjoy it,,really no reason for you to be reminding us how it crushes the waves and you never spill your beer while running 8 footers..
and you may not know this but Cig had its ups and downs over the years,,Fountain is Not out of business and under Reggie ownership they did not built Junk either,,n
do a search and see how many old Cigs had to get transom replacement or stringer replacement because when Cig installed the Kplaines they could not thru bolt one bolt and they used a leg bolt without sealing it and rotted out the stringers from water intrusion..
do I want to try hang with you in my 32??no not really because when your out there getting the $hit kicked out of you running your so called 8 footers I rather be at the bar having a beer..
you may also want to come down to Key West and watch all the Fountains run in the rough,trust me they do pretty good,,, and if they banned all the Fountains from the race course and allowed only Cigs to race then the races would be cancelled,,,Cigs are just not there..lol
My Friend does own a 08 39 Top Gun with 700s,,nice boat,,been out in the rough with him,,does ok,,not to the point that I think it would blow away any other boat,,but it does ok for a 39 foot boat,,
another friend owns a 31 bullet,,been out on it,,not to impressed,,
it is what it is,,you do not have to remind us all the time,,

Ok facts are these . I owned a twin step 38 fountain for 6 years and a 32 fever prior. I loved both of them. Tey both accomplished different things that fit my needs at the time. My 32 was a fun little boat. It was fast, it did handle the chop great but forget about the big stuff. I didn't care as that is not fun for me anyway. My 38 accomplished more as it would handle some bigger waves but not much bigger. It was however one of the most solid boats I had ever been in. I loved that boat but forget about big water. My Twin step top gun
Is apples and oranges compared to my 38 fountain. Again both taste good just different. Big water capability has to go to the cigarette hands down and it should. More freeboard, hull length, dead rise etc. it is substantially bigger.
Fact: anybody that says there boat is running fast in 6 to 8 footers comfortably is lying unless you are on a 55 sea ray. Facts about fountain being in business? Just because they post one year old ads on not trader taking orders on 2013 boats does not make you in business. As far as rotted stringers and transom? I would have to thank fountain for that and all that is moisture due to poor rigging. An advantage I would give to cigarette hands down. I have been though that with my fountains as well as a couple other friends. That's my two cents. Both brands are good I would have to put the build quality and rough water capability to the cig

The best advice really is to water test both boats in smooth and rough water if possible and make your own decision on what you like plain and simple...key west waters and Lake Erie are two totally different places so test both boats in waters you boat in...

Really??? Every time you wipe your ass you put up another pic of your fountain. You sure are proud of that thing. Maybe you should take some of your own advice because nobody gives a shiiit about your boat either. A 39 does okay in the rough? Keep drinking the cool aid
let me tell you why I post pictures,,If you do a search you will see I always buy fix up boats and then sell them,,this is my 4th boat in a year and a half,,done many bajas,,8 Powerquest,,a couple of Sea Rays and this is my first Fountain,which will be going up for sale as soon as I find the next one,,it might even be a Cig,,and I am not proud of any one of my boats,,they are just boats,,no more no less,,so I post pictures because it is cheap advertising ..
I never disrespect you so not sure what you are upset about...
and yes the 39 rides ok in the rough,,did you want me to lie and say that it does not?
by the way you are no different ,,every time you wipe your butt I see you like to post pictures as well..lol,,and do you think anybody cares about your boat as well?
