This is a VERY CLEAN boat with 400 hours presenting a GREAT OPPORTUNITY to get into performance boating. Her engines were redone, topend, at 300 hours and her outdrives were installed within the last 50 hours. The original owner is a complete neat freak about keeping his boat in great condition. The original Fountain cockpit carpet was taken out and stored upon delivery and a new one was made so when it came time to pass her on to the new owners, they’d have a brand new Fountain factory cockpit carpet. The owner rates her at a 8.5 for the cabin and cockpit. The hull is in great shape with no dings or scratches. The bilge is as clean as the rest of the boat. Custom diamond plate flooring was installed in the engine compartment. Engine and drive oil was changed every 15 hours with Mobil 1 Synthetic from day one. Twin Mercury 525HP Mercruiser engines (re-done at 300 hours) with Mercury Bravo I Outdrives (installed within the last 50 hours) power this Fountain achieving speeds around 85+ mph (recorded on both the on board Livorsi GPS Speedo and a hand held unit). You’ll enjoy an extra level of comfort at speed due to the optional race fairing option, it provides a deeper feeling. You’ll also be able to enjoy you favorite tunes because of the upgraded XM radio with the big subwoofer and marinetech amp. There is a custom cockpit cover and a full boat cover as well. This boat is being offered for purchase by her original owner. He is an experienced boater who took care of the boat as only an experienced performance boater can.

The Fountain 42 Lightning has won more races than any other V-bottom in history and currently holds the UIM/APBA/SBI world speed record at 171.883 mph. The staggered engine set-up brings the propellers closer together, keeping the center of gravity down low, along the keel, where it works best. The spacious cabin design features an enclosed head (vac-u-flush), overnight sleeping accommodations, and a galley with an integrated cooler and pressurized sink. Extras include an integrated anchor locker with anchor, electric drop-down bolster seats, and the optional full race fairing .

Combine this fast stylish ride with a Motivated Seller and you have something you need to see!
