Overview

The Fountain 38 Tournament Edition is a high-performance center console fishing boat designed to excel in a variety of weather conditions and fishing environments. Renowned for its speed, stability, and versatility, this 38-foot vessel aims to deliver anglers quickly and safely to prime fishing locations, embodying the qualities of a competitive tournament boat.

Exterior Design and Deck Layout

The 38 Tournament Edition features a deep V hull with race-proven super ventilated positive lift, a notched transom, and a keel pad that contribute to its smooth and responsive ride. The boat’s 10-foot 6-inch beam and overall length of 37 feet 11 inches provide a stable and spacious fishing platform. The forward fishing deck is surrounded by three 16L stainless steel rails, with a recessed anchor locker topped by a sturdy hatch and pop-up cleats that maintain a clean appearance. Large molded steps lead down to the lower deck and center console area. The heavy-duty T-top is equipped with seven rod holders, two halogen lights, and ample space for antennas and optional electronics. Angled outboard rod holders on the T-top reduce line tangling during trolling. Additional rod storage is available under the gunnels and beneath the forward berths, while four fish boxes are located under the wide walkway beside the center console. The stern includes a walk-through transom for easy engine access, a pressurized water sink, a 50-gallon live well, and dock line holders integrated into the gunnels. The boat also features a saltwater washdown connection and three conveniently placed oil ports for outboard maintenance.

Interior Living Spaces

Despite being a center console fishing hull, the Fountain 38 Tournament Edition offers a roomy forward cabin known as the cutty cabin. This space accommodates two berths, gear storage, and room for eight fishing rods beneath the berths. Soft fluorescent lighting enhances the interior ambiance, while two optional oscillating fans provide additional comfort. The bench seat in front of the center console conceals a 25-quart cooler and offers extra storage beneath the footrest. The center console itself includes a locking electronics box, a one-piece windshield, a molded footrest, and electric drop-away seats, combining functionality with comfort.

Power and Performance

Weighing 10,600 pounds and drawing only 29 inches with engines fully trimmed, the Fountain 38 Tournament Edition delivers impressive performance. On test, the boat accelerated onto plane in five seconds and reached a top speed of 65.4 miles per hour with a nearly full tank and a crew of four. At this speed, the vessel’s fuel range extends to 329 miles. The optimal cruising speed was recorded at 36.9 miles per hour at 3000 RPM, which increases the cruising range to approximately 565 miles. The hull design ensures a safe, smooth, and responsive ride, even in challenging conditions, reflecting the expertise of Fountain’s racing team.

Private Accommodations

The forward cutty cabin provides private accommodations with berths for two individuals. This space is thoughtfully designed to include ample gear storage and rod holders beneath the berths, making it practical for extended fishing trips or overnight stays. The interior lighting and ventilation options contribute to a comfortable environment within this compact cabin.

Conclusion

The Fountain 38 Tournament Edition is a well-rounded fishing boat that combines speed, stability, and thoughtful design to meet the demands of serious anglers. Its race-inspired hull and extensive fishing amenities, including abundant rod storage, fish boxes, and live wells, make it a formidable contender on the fishing circuit. With comfortable accommodations and a smooth ride in various weather conditions, this vessel truly lives up to its nickname, the Fishing Beast.
