2008 Fountain 38 Sport Cruiser is a masterpiece of engineering and design that runs like a sports car, but feels like a pleasure palace. For openers, the legendary stepped hull has been redesigned with improved step locations to provide an even smoother and more stable ride in all types of water conditions at all speeds. Further, Fountain Mercury has expanded the chine width, which not only adds lateral stability, it opens up the interior space underneath. This boat eliminates the predicament frequently faced by fishermen: how to get out to the best fishing and where to find an agreeable place to relax when day is done. With a cruise of 50-plus mph and a top of 60+ mph, the 38 SFC with 3-275hp Mercury Verado can take you to far away places and across intimidating bodies of water in great safety and comfort.
