Now wait a minute here. If you're into sea cows then Fountain wins hands down. The low platform makes it easier for them to crawl onboard (especially when wet and oily). More importantly, since every one knows fountains are lighter than cigs that means you can have more cow weight on board before it becomes unsafe.

So, is a fountain with 2 sea cows faster than a cig with 1 skank ?

Real skanks don't need cabins and cows can't fit in them so start a new AT thread vtsteve

BCK, see previous post referring video evidence on Animal Planet. The sea life gain momentum and breach, break the surface and land on the swim platform. They are too damn fat to climb or crawl onto a Fountain even with their primitive fins/ arms. Yet for the Cig Pigs god invented the travel lift to hoist them in. Most people think that the Fountains are faster but they fail to realize the time it takes to evenly distribute the tonnage in a Cig. It used to be much easier when they hauled drugs compared to heiffers today.

I can see how an aluminum platform on a Cig would be an improvement over the slippery fiberglass for the breaching pigs but once onboard the fountains lighter weight would overcome the cigs boarding advantage. Once onboard the pigs terrible bodyweight to limb strength ratio would render them largly immobile at planing speeds so they could be positioned just like drugs. Fountain is still the boat of choice for sea cow transport.

Duh? That is why the seapigs flock to Fountains. Once a seapig breaches upon a Cigarette they promptly eat the captain and have nowhere to go...

Now a Seapig can survive consuming the variety of Fountain owners out there because they're plenty. But they target the Cigs because there are usually more males and they prey on douchebaggery. The Powerplay guys are a little safer because we hold the azzhole distinction of an Apache captain and are not as tasty...

Exactly. So Fountain is hands down the better boat for Seapigs and the skanks should stick with cigarettes. Are we on the same side? Who is it that is claiming Seapigs go with cigarettes?

Absolutely Fountain for the Seapigs. The issue with a Cig lies in the crew. No self respecting Cig captain will insert a skank amongst the crew for fear of piracy. The skank will have bigger balls and take command. The lessor Seapigs can be stuffed into the half cabin for future use provided they displace the weight appropriately...
