Research Fountain Boats

Improving on success is a hallmark of Fountain boats. Reggie Fountain has never been content to rest on his laurels. So it is with the very popular 38 Express Cruiser. This new edition has been completely revamped. It is a masterpiece of design and engineering. It truly may be said that this one has all of the accommodation of a luxury cruising yacht, but it also has the soul of a sports car. The legendary stepped hull has been redesigned with improved step locations, providing an even smoother and more stable ride in all types of sea conditions.

At all speeds. Top end with twin Mercury 496 HOs is 60-plus MPH. An expanded chine width and reduced deadrise adds lateral stability while it opens up interior space.

Tired of the ordinary? This is the one you want to be seen in: performance that would make any man grin from ear to ear, and all the amenities that make her feel right at home
