Fountain 38 LX by Steve Fennell

Fountain will continue to impress offshore fishermen for the 2004 season with its recently introduced 38 LX.

According to Fountain, they have taken some of its most popular and proven fishing, cruising and performance features and combined it into one astonishing package.

Fountain 38 LXRiding on a twin step super-ventilated positive lift hull with a notched transom pad keel design, the 38 offers the performance, quick planing and superb handling as you would expect. Add the triple 225 Mercury OptiMax outboards and you're guaranteed speeds of 60-plus mph.

Cockpit highlights include ample deck space and several ideal features including a 50-gallon circulating livewell, twin 150-quart fishboxes, rod holders, rocket launchers plus a transom door. The helm comes complete with full instrumentation, a GPS speedometer plus an electronic and dual electric bolster/leaning post.

Down below the cabin houses a full galley with a microwave, sink and even a refrigerator/freezer. Opposite is a spacious enclosed head with Corian countertops, a shower and vaccu-flush toilet. Users will also appreciate the 6'5Ó of headroom.

For a good night's rest the forward berth is large and includes a wrap-around sofa that can seat five comfortably.
