I have found a good deal on a 31 fountain. I know it isnt as fisher friendly as the 27 contender, but could anyone tell me if the rides are comprable. I have heard from people who have been on both that said that they are almost equivalent, but the fountain was a little quicker and less role when trolling. I just need a boat that I can go cruise speed at in 2-3 or 2-4 foot seas. Thanks for any info. Tight lines, screamin drag, cold beer!
