Fountain 48 Express Cruiser: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The 2002 Fountain 48 Express Cruiser is a high-performance yacht that combines speed, safety, and luxury in a single package. Designed to outrun many smaller center console boats, this vessel is recognized for its smooth handling and impressive power. Powered by three diesel engines, it achieves speeds exceeding 65 miles per hour while maintaining fuel efficiency of approximately 1.2 miles per gallon. Despite its advanced features and capabilities, the 48 Express Cruiser remains relatively affordable within its class.
Exterior Design and Bridge
The 48 Express Cruiser features a traditional, sleek bow with a subtle forward dip, optimized for high-speed performance. Two overhead hatches provide ample natural light and ventilation to the interior. The helm station is designed for precision handling, equipped with a comprehensive instrumentation cluster that includes trim tabs, drive tabs, tachometers, and a racing-style steering wheel. The layout ensures all controls are within easy reach, and electric drop-down seats offer flexibility for comfortable sitting or standing to enhance visibility while underway.
Interior Living Spaces
Below deck, the interior exemplifies luxury and thoughtful design. The forward V-berth is appointed with high-quality bedding, matching pillows, additional storage drawers, and a handcrafted cedar-lined closet. The head compartment includes a stand-up shower with a sink faucet that doubles as a shower head, complemented by a porthole for natural light and ventilation. The galley is well-equipped with a microwave-stove combination, refrigerator, coffee maker, ample cabinetry, and entertainment options including a TV and VCR. The salon features a wraparound sofa that can convert into additional sleeping space. The spacious aft cabin serves as a guest room with a privacy curtain, featuring comfortable bedding, abundant storage, mirrored walls, mood lighting, and a hanging closet, although the ceiling height is somewhat limited. A well-organized AC-DC electrical panel is easily accessible, and the engine compartment houses the high-performance diesel power plant.
Cockpit and Deck Amenities
The cockpit offers generous space to comfortably accommodate six to eight guests. It includes a wet bar equipped with an ice maker and sink, facilitating beverage preparation without needing to access the interior. Battery switches are conveniently located near the ice maker for easy access. The engine cover doubles as a large sun pad, and a four-foot bench-style seat aft provides additional seating for guests. A transom door leads directly to the swim platform, enhancing water access and recreational opportunities.
Power and Performance
Measuring 48 feet in length with a 12-foot beam and a draft of 3 feet 2 inches, the 48 Express Cruiser weighs approximately 22,000 pounds, contributing to its stability and smooth ride at high speeds. It is powered by three 420-horsepower Yanmar diesel engines. Performance testing demonstrated a quick planing time of 5.6 seconds and a top speed of 65.1 miles per hour at 3,300 RPM. The vessel’s optimal cruising speed is 43.4 miles per hour at 2,250 RPM, delivering an impressive range of 490 miles, underscoring its capability for extended voyages.
Conclusion
The Fountain 48 Express Cruiser successfully marries high-speed performance with luxurious accommodations and practical design. Its combination of triple diesel power, refined handling, and well-appointed interior spaces make it a standout in its category. This model continues Fountain's tradition of producing fast, safe, and comfortable boats that appeal to discerning boaters seeking both excitement and elegance on the water.
