I've heard this was designed to allow wake surfing too. With the outboards I'm wondering if this is true?

Either way, I've been wondering when someone would come out with a "dual sport" boat. Not the best at anything, but can do a little of everything...

I presume it’s the 38LX/sport fish hull with a new deck and open bow.
First thoughts, it’s a bit ‘daggy’ for a Fountain but there’s a lot of daggy boats getting sold, and at least this one will probably perform well.

Practical layout, if the price is sensible, it might take some market share away from Formula.

Closer look, I’m starting to like it.

Nice looking boat. Does not look like a Fountain at all. Where's the beak?

I currently have a DC and the design is really good, day boat only but for me it was a better choice than a CC.

I wish more companies would build something like this and enclose the bow so you can get more of a cabin. Think intrepid 43/47 but built by Nor-tech/mystic/midnight… Midnight built the 37 cabin for awhile, wish they would do a build like that using the 43 hull as a starting point.

That's like what I was thinking. Maybe some type of convertible hardtop that lift up on top of the existing hardtop.
