Armed with Arneson surface drive propulsion, the Fountain 48 Express cruiser didn’t just raise the performance bar for big express boats of her era; she set an entirely new standard.
Speed is what this popular sportster is all about, something she achieves with extraordinary ease thanks to her lightweight stepped hull. A cockpit is equipped with two 250-quart macerating in-sole fish boxes, two above deck livewells, and a well-positioned tackle center. The cockpit lounge has a removable table and seating for eight, and the aft section converts to a sun pad at the push of a button. Below decks, the well-finished cabin offers 6'3" headroom, high-gloss cherry laminate cabinetry, and a full galley with microwave, fridge, and stainless steel sink. The dinette converts to a large V-berth, and two more can sleep in a double berth tucked under the bridge deck. The original interior had two heads; beginning in 2009, there’s only one. Both chairs at the helm have power seats that drop to form bolsters.
