Default Come See The NEW 38' Fountain Lightning @ MIAMI, 106MPH, Mercury 600SCI and a load!!!

You may have heard, and it's all TRUE. Fountain has made alot of changes to the Fountain 38' Lightning, all 9,000+lbs of it. The new 38 has new bolsters, new cockpit layout, sliding door to cabin, 18" on center stagger set up. We ordered our boat which will be at MIAMI with Mercury 600SCI's, ITS, shorties and Herrings. The boat was tested today wth 5 people, 70 gallons of fuel and 45 degree temperature. I am happy to report that this boat ran 106MPH with this load. Be sure to stop by the FOUNTAIN booth and look at the new 38'.

Our 38, 42 and 47 should all be in the show. The 38, 42 and 47 all have the new style bolster.
