Overview
Boathouse lift kept since new on a bottom correct
rack, new center powerhead with 1 hour runtime (2017 with warranty), new
canvas top (2017) and a newly rebuilt generator (2017) make this
Fountain 38LX a steal!
Manufacturer Provided Description
Over the years Fountain 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.
