Well I've had Fountains and Cigarettes, not including the Midnight Express Boats we had.
I would absolutely go with a 39' Cigarette Top Gun with twin 700 Merc's, I absolutely love this boat. My second choice would be a 36' Cigarette Gladiator with the same power, but I could do with 575's. Last, but definitely not least, I would go with a 40'+ Apache with a pair or triple Mercury 1350's. If I were really going to buy one, it would be the 39TG though.
With that being said, I would love to build me a boat with the Lamborghini Marini engines.
How about some pics of what I am talking about:

If I wanted a high perf boat, id go with a 39' TG with 700's or the 50' Marauder with twin 1300's

Now Baja Fountain Donzi Pro line, and a few others I don't remember are all under that umbrella.
When Doug Smith was Running Baja I would have agreed with you great boat, so if you want one of his boats you will have to Buy a Checkmate now he has bought them. Also a great boat and very well built I would stand behind Checkmate any day

I've been an Outerlimits fan since the beginning of the company. If I remember correctly the founder is the son of the founder of Hustler...I remember loving the look of the 40' Hustler and then Outerlimits popped up and I fell in love

Great choices Hernando!!
After dealing in Fountain I agree they are fast but at speeds over 100mph I will stick with boats that don't fall apart. I have yet to see one, more then a year old with out tons of stress cracks.
30 the new Vendetta I would go single over twins but twin 377's will fly and be rock solid in that boat
39 Skater (Lucas Oil boat) that Hull was retarded fast I know who has the molds and can re make them with twin 1100 Mercs and Arnesson Drives
Over 40 the Apache is a great choice solid boat so is the Cig wouldn't touch a Nortec with a 20' pole A friend bought one and hates it. Either the 42 GTX from Outerlimits which runs amazing with the 1350's and arnessons, Or our new 43 Aronolli Two in production right now I will post pics as soon as I can.
Over 45 Probably Magnum with Diesels I love those high performance yachts

I think he was kidding with the whole Baja thing. I noted sarcasm. I could be wrong though.
