FOUNTAIN 47 LIGHTNING
Ready to blister the competition with the famous cat killer hull?

Here’s the latest incarnation of a living legend, the Fountain 47 Lightning. How do you improve on a boat that is known throughout the world as one of the greatest racing hulls in history? It isn’t easy. Only Reggie Fountain’s magic touch could bring about such a transformation. Now you can have it as the ultimate Poker Run yacht—or as a cruiser that can go anywhere, anytime. (But never sedately.)
Want a bullet proof package?

Looking for staggered twins with exceptional center of gravity balance? Bolt in a pair of Mercury 700s with NXT1 gimbals and #6 uppers and lowers and run 90+ MPH. Move up to twin 850s and thunder over 100 mph. Leave the world behind you at 115 mph with twin Mercury 1075s. You read it correctly.
​
The 47 comes complete with newly styled drop down bolster seats and an ergonomic cockpit configuration. Choose a six man stand-up/sit-down bolster option or a four bolster option with a rear bench seat. Fountain’s technological advances add up to the fastest, safest, smoothest running boat in its class.
​
The thrill of a lifetime...comes standard. Guaranteed!
