2004 Fountain 38’ Lightning
** All reasonable offers considered **
Model Heritage & Performance History
The Fountain 38 Lightning stands as one of the most successful and legendary V-bottom designs ever to grace the offshore poker run circuit and factory-class racing lanes. Built around Reggie Fountain’s race-bred, super-ventilated positive-lift hull design, the 38 Lightning incorporates a precision-tuned pad keel, notched transom and optimized step locations.
This specific 2004 model features the highly desirable staggered engine configuration, which places the powerplants inline for a perfectly balanced center of gravity, improved handling predictability and zero side-to-side torque steer. Capable of effortlessly chewing up rough water while running 85+ mph, this rocket sled delivers jaw-dropping throttle response and razor-sharp high-speed cornering.
