This year we sold our family cruiser and the way things are going I don't see be able to afford to get another one any time soon. I was great to have a family boat and MY BOAT, but it got way to expensive to continue to pull off. With that in mind I have been doing quite a bit of thinking on what kind of boat may work better as an all around family and fun boat. I have always been intrigued by the Fountain 25 Sportfish Cruiser as it looks like a pretty practical package with a fairly fast hull. However, like most of the boats I like, there isn't many, if any, out in my neck of the woods. So I am wondering if anyone out there has any experence with one of them.



There seems to be a few on the market asking about what I think the Activator is worth, but they are all on the east coast.

Are these nice boats?

Are they built ok? I know Fountains aren't known as the best per say, but are they solid?

Most of them claim speeds in the low 50's with a 225, do you think 60+ is possible with a 300xs?

How well do they handle chop and corners?





Are the cabins nice enough to actually weekend on?





Are the cockpits laid out well?



Any replys are greatly appreciated
