Features & Specs:

Performance & Hull

This Fountain 38 Sportfish Express was built for offshore adventures, featuring a twin-step positive lift hull designed to slice through rough seas while maximizing stability, speed, and fuel efficiency. Powered by twin 320hp Cummins MerCruiser 4.2L QSD diesel engines, it cruises effortlessly at 30 knots (burning just 10 gph per engine at 3,000 RPM) and reaches 44 knots wide open (19 gph per engine at 3,900 RPM). A Bravo 3X drive system with heavy-duty steering, one brand-new drive, and Mercury Racing trim tabs (with indicators) give you precise control at any speed.
