Fountain 38' Tournament Express

Tournament-ready performance meets fully modernized offshore capability in this exceptionally updated Tournament Express. Originally a freshwater boat from Lake Erie with indoor winter storage, this vessel has spent the last three winters lift-kept in Florida and underwent an extensive 2025 refit and repower.

Powered by triple 2022 Mercury 450R outboards with approximately 310 current hours, this boat delivers an impressive 44 mph economy cruise at 3850 RPM with approximately 1 MPG and a top speed of 76 mph. The upgraded fuel system includes 460 gallons total capacity with 300-gallon main and 160-gallon reserve tanks, making it ideal for serious offshore fishing, tournament use, or long-range cruising.

The 2025 refit included all-new rigging, power steering, controls, fuel lines, water separators, and tank switch valves. Electronics were completely upgraded with dual 16” Simrad NSO EVO3S displays, Simrad engine display, open-array radar, down and side-scan sonar, autopilot with pump, and integrated Sionyx night vision system. A custom dash with Bluewater LED halo switching provides a clean, modern helm layout.

Comfort and functionality were also significantly enhanced with custom seating consoles from Nautical Ventures featuring convertible 2- to 3-person forward and aft-facing seating, flip-up bolsters, tackle drawers, and additional storage. The vessel also features new SeaDek decking, upgraded cockpit and console LED lighting, Lumitec SeaBlazeX2 underwater lights, and an Apollo Bluetooth audio system powering a premium JL Audio 10-speaker stereo setup with amplifiers.

This is a highly customized, extensively upgraded offshore platform that combines tournament capability, high-speed performance, and modern electronics with the benefit of a recent comprehensive refit. Turn-key and ready for its next owner.
