Research Fountain Boats - 38 Sportfish Cruiser OB

~ Whoever said “You can’t have it all!” obviously never owned a Fountain.

Got an itch to subdue the competition with one lightning-fast punch? Try zero-to-plane in :03 seconds and a top speed of 68-plus mph. The fleet will still be lurching up out of the chop while you’re on your way to the best fishing in this hot, tournament-tested fishing machine and luxury yacht all rolled into one.

Powered by three 300-hp Mercury Verado outboards (with power steering), the 38 SFC Outboard offers the kind of performance and economy that other builders can only fantasize about. It will top out at 68+ mph; throttle back to 49 mph and get up to 1.2 mpg—with a range of more than 419 miles. Shazam!

Below decks, the spacious cabin offers 6’3” headroom, high-gloss cherry laminate cabinetry, a gourmet cook top, microwave, fridge, and stainless steel sink. A dinette converts to a large v-berth, and two more can sleep in a second double berth tucked under the cockpit sole. The head, is roomy and offers a VacuFlush toilet and a shower.

A huge fish-fighting cockpit with two 250-quart macerating in-sole fish boxes and two above deck livewells, plus a well-thought-out tackle center, puts this fishing and pleasure machine in the big leagues. Factor in Reggie Fountain and his unrelenting passion to build the world’s fastest, smoothest, safest, best-handling boats and you have an instant winner that can serve as a fishing boat, sportboat or a cruiser.
