Research Fountain Boats 38 Luxury Edition Boat

~ The Ultimate Combination

This is one complete package. No other boat can come close to the 38LX. Period. Cut through the rough stuff and get to the best fishing grounds first. Back at the marina, live in luxury while others scramble for a motel room. We’ve taken the finest features of Fountain Mercury’s world-class fleet and combined them into one flawless package.
Triple Mercury Verado outboards, combined with our twin-step, super ventilated Positive Life hull and notched transom pad keel give the 38LX the power of a knockout punch. Speeds top out at 61-mph plus. Throttle back to a comfortable cruise and stretch out the range to 450 miles or more.

The spacious cockpit offers the fishability of a much larger sportfisherman with a Pro-Series 50-gal. circulating livewell, twin 150-qt. fish boxes, rod holders, rocket launchers, and transom door.

The helm station is completely equipped, including GPS speedo and a dual electric bolster/leaning post. The cabin has a full 6’ 5” headroom, a galley complete with microwave, sink and fridge/freezer. Opposite this is a head with Corian counters, shower and VacuFlush toilet. Forward is a wraparound sofa with high/low table seating five comfortably. This converts quickly to a v-berth sleeping two. The world is at your fingertips with an entertainment center with flat-screen TV, DVD and stereo with CD player and remote.

Your choice: make do, or make out like a bandit.
