Research Fountain Boats

Ready to blister the competition with the famous cat killer hull? Want the ultimate Poker Run or cruising boat that goes anywhere anytime?

Here’s the latest incarnation of a living legend, the Fountain 47 Lightning. How do you improve on a boat that is known throughout the world as one of the greatest racing hulls in history? It isn’t easy. Only Reggie Fountain’s magic touch could bring about such a transformation. Start with modified step locations and angles of attack. Powerboat Magazine named it the 2006 offshore boat of the year, and for good reason.

Want a bullet proof package?

Looking for staggered twins with exceptional center of gravity balance? Bolt in a pair of Mercury 700s with NXT1 gimbals and #6 uppers and lowers and run 88+ MPH. Try two 850’s and you’re over 100 mph. Power it up with twin Mercury 1075s and hit a top end of 115 mph. You read it correctly.

Wild or mild, Fountain’s technological advances give you the smoothest running boat in its class. Not to mention the fastest and most fuel efficient.
