2005 Fountain 38 Lightning 09677 Richmond BC

Seller note:

Actual Location: Richmond, BC
The 38 Lightning builder has turned the stepped-bottom boat into a performance machine. Running with production mills, the V-bottom reached nearly 115 mph. To borrow a line, this isn't your daddy's Fountain. Performance Fountain has been at the forefront of squeezing more speed out of its boats using relatively mellow power plants. Workmanship From sea strainers to windshields, Fountain Powerboats builds many of the parts for its performance boats in-house. The company believes it not only can build the parts better but it allows for greater flexibility. Rather than calling the supplier and waiting a few days for the new part, the company says it can make changes within hours. The 38 Lightning featured a new upholstery design, which incorporated the headrests on the rear bench into the engine hatches. The updated design was also carried over into the new bolster seats. Fountain moved the switch for the electric dropout bottom from the armrest area to the gunwale. A smart move considering passengers in rougher water have a tendency to bump it. When it came to painting the boat, The Art of Design was enlisted to do the bold graphics. Protecting the fine work is a black rubrail with a stainless-steel insert. The paint carried over to the underside of the engine hatches and onto the hullsides in the compartment. Pull-up cleats are appropriately placed around the boat. Black powder-coated railings on the deck and around the padded engine hatches are matched to the windshield. Interior As part of the new upholstery design, Fountain created three formed seats in the rear bench. Not only were they comfortable but they'll give rear-seat passengers something to hold onto when the boat encounters some rough water. In addition to the twin bolsters, the builder installed snap-in carpet with the Fountain logo in the cockpit. The driver's spot to starboard included throttles and shifters from Livorsi Marine to the left of the Latham Marine helm. Gauges with carbon-fiber faces were in a U-shape around the steering wheel. A Mercury SmartCraft SystemView screen was centered on the dash below the Monster gauges. The 38 Lightning featured Fountain's new single-piece sliding cabin door. The spacious cabin had a V-berth and a U-shape lounge. An entertainment unit featured countertops with a stainless sink and cabinets. There are two hatches for ventilation, and abundant lighting throughout the space. Overall Fountain Powerboats continues to evolve and the 38 Lightning is reflective of that. There are plenty of V-bottoms that run faster than 100 mph, but few are as stable as the 38-footer at speed. And rarely do they go 115 mph on production horsepower.
