I never said Fointains can't run in rough.... Just don't ride as good as a Cig or Apache in it.... That's no secret!!! Maybe a race hull is different but not many of those on a normal weekend on the lake.... A buddy if mine owned the Ohio Steel fountain for years.... Cool boat

I actually think the old 10 and 12 Meters were the best looking Fountains made

Just the rear swim platforms make the decision easier for me...

Fountain = molded platform, low to the water line, good stance, easy for fat skanks to climb out of water.

Cigarette = jungle gym platform that you need a 10 step swim ladder to climb up just to get on it, They share the same platform as Team Baja (speed changes you), needs lots of fat skanks sitting on it to get to fountain platform height.

Apache = (If equipped with a platform) it's so high that you need one of those roll out ladders that the Coast Guard throws out of the heli, needs lots of fat skanks to also sit on platform to get to the Fountain platform height. Another issue with them is the fat skanks have a hard time making their way to the platform because they can't climb over the Ft. Knox engine scoops..
(if not equiped with a platform) - then you are going to need the USCG heli to winch the skanks up into the boat.

Well now, you see, um, ...
The video ends (or is edited) because I bought the rights to it!
What happens is I ran into the boat in front of me (you know "in the ruff")
With my "beek & balls"0
The rest I told earlier... My skank punches your skank in the face, etc etc

well then that's ONE video out there.. Let's face it wether a Fountain runs in rough or not.... They are not even close to known for it... Especially in a PLEASURE boat!!! Of course a race boat full of bulkheads will do good and be solid... Not too hard to figure that out!!!
