2008 Fountain Boats 48 Express Cruiser Description

A YACHT TO BUILD A DREAM ON Sometimes dreams can seem hopelessly unattainable because those exotic ports of call and remote islands always seem to be out of reach in most conventional cruising yachts. Not in a Fountain 48 Express Cruiser. Why plow endlessly through the water when you can fly effortlessly to a destination you may have once dreamed of visiting? Powered by triple 480 hp, fuel-efficient diesel engines, you can cruise at an astonishing 50 mph while attaining one-plus mile per gallon. Open up the throttles and run up to 64 mph. The 48 is also available with twin 480 diesels which will run 50+ mph, which is still dramatically faster than the competition. If gas engines appeal to you three Mercury 525’s with Bravo III XR drives will cruise at 50 mph with a top end of 70 mph. Further, the 48 EC’s 12-foot beam provides the perfect combination of smooth ride and stable platform. Underneath the 48 provides you with the luxury that you would expect from a world class yacht. Like all Fountains, this classic was born of the brutal world of offshore racing. It means simply that this one performs like a champ. Remember, this is the yacht that set a world record from Key West to Cancun, Mexico, dashing 405 miles in 8 hours and 36 minutes while running into a three to five foot head sea. A quick day’s cruise instead of the traditional overnight haul. While others are still chasing the moon, you could be sipping cocktails in its luminous thrall. Live your dreams.
