You mean where they go around in circles in harbors? Lotto? Set records on rivers?

Fountain vs cigerate vs apache

Play by play ....

We all know FOUNTAINS are FAST !!! So I jump out way ahead....
After we hit some "rough" water the cig "starts to catch me... So I take my beak (with a big set of chrome "nuts") hanging from it & I ram the cig, my skank jumps off my fountain onto the cig and punches your skank in the face, jumps back on my Boat! And ??? Oh about that time is when the old school lead sled apatche gets on plane and starts to come by the cig (that is sinking) .... I slow down to wait for the apatche to do the same thing to it but I can't find it cause it blew both drives trying to keep up with my fountain & the cig!


That should stir the pot some....

Btw your skank now has a busted grill...

What size is the garage? I can't say I have seen a removable or swing away tongue on anything bigger than 22'. The only thing I don't like about the Fountains is the helm. They have low freeboard like mine but I couldn't find a good driving position. The seats are real low.

My friend has a custom eagle short nose trailer under his 388 slingshot. Keeps it in a 40 ft garage!
