2018 FOUNTAIN 38 CC - AVAILABLE NOW IN PERTH, AUSTRALIA
This is the epitome of US designed and built multipurpose performance centre consoles, in immaculate condition and ready to enjoy. Privately imported at significant time, cost and effort to find the right boat (condition, colour combination, features and optional extras etc).
Impressively versatile boat, whether day boating (what it is used for here in Perth), serious offshore fishing or simply to go fast in comfort and in any conditions - the ocean going ability of these vessels has to be experienced to be believed.
Performance is next level with cruise at 35 - 50 knots (3,500 - 5,000 rpm) with top speed ~65 knots, and surprisingly economic fuel consumption at cruise (~1.3 - 1.5mpg).
This model was significantly updated in 2018 as represented by this vessel, in particular with a vastly improved targa and seating arrangements throughout (including lounge seating at the bow, stern and in front of the console).
It has all of the standard Fountain 38 CC features and accessories, plus an extensive options list including:
- Triple 350hp Mercury Verados in Cold Fusion White (recently serviced) and Mercury K-Plane trim tabs
- Toilet (electric) and 2 x fresh water showers (in the console and at the stern)
- Top of the range Simrad electronics package with 2 x 16" Simrad NSS Evo3 chartplotters / fishfinders with radar, sonar and sounder
- Mercury 7" Vesselview
- Autopilot with remote
- JL Audio stereo with amp and subwoofers
- Impressive red/white/blue lighting package, including multicoloured underwater lights and remote spotlight
- Lewmar Pro-Fish 1000 electric anchor winch with remote
- Electric fishing reel power sockets, raw water washdown and live bait tank
- 5 x insulated fish tanks with macerators, 6 x storage lockers
- Side dive door and ladder
- New top of the line upholstery throughout
- New Seadeck flooring throughout
- New custom full boat cover
- Fuel capacity ~1,600L
- Never antifouled
- Top of line Myco trailer included (subject to registration)
I have personally imported and owned several 32-35 ft Donzi centre consoles from the US and this boat is in another league of performance, comfort and capability.
From the Fountain Powerboats website:
"Fountain's legendary 38CC is the pinnacle of a multi-purpose center console. The boat tracks true with hooks in the water, cruises efficiently at mid-range speeds and delivers a soft, dry ride when Mother Nature gets nasty. Inside, the large U-shaped bow seating area provides space for carry-ons under the cushions. For those that prioritize fishing, options include electric reel outlets, a starboard side dive door, an extra live well, and outriggers. "
Particularly suited to buyers of Fountain, Cigarette, Nor-Tech, Midnight Express and also Boston Whaler, Grady-White, Pursuit etc.
