Research 2015 - Fountain Boats - 47 Lightning

Ready to blister the competition with the famous cat killer hull?

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. Now you can have it as the ultimate Poker Run yacht or as a cruiser that can go anywhere, anytime. (But never sedately.)

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 90+ MPH. Move up to twin 850s and thunder over 100 mph. Leave the world behind you at 115 mph with twin Mercury 1075s. You read it correctly.

The 47 comes complete with newly styled drop down bolster seats and an ergonomic cockpit configuration. Choose a six man stand-up/sit-down bolster option or a four bolster option with a rear bench seat. Fountain's technological advances add up to the fastest, safest, smoothest running boat in its class.

The thrill of a lifetime...comes standard. Guaranteed!
