Research Fountain Boats

Over the years Fountain Mercury fishboats have left the competition scratching their heads. This one may just make them throw in the towel. The 38 LX combines the best of all worlds, incorporating Reggie Fountain’s legendary offshore hull with a luxury package that rivals the fanciest Italian yachts—and the fishability that is winning tournaments all over the globe.

Triple Mercury Verado outboards teamed with Fountain’s super ventilated Positive Lift hull give you an insurmountable edge: With a top end of 63 mph and the ability to shoulder aside rough seas, the 38 LX can get you out to where the fish are faster and—get this—more comfortably and more safely than any other fishing boat on the water. Looking for fuel economy and range? This ones off the charts!

You’ll never eat anybody’s wake—again. Move into the boat that has the fishing (and cruising) world talking. Move up to Fountain!
