A pilgrimage to visit with Reggie Fountain and run his boats always qualifies as an adventure. I know that sometime during the day, I will get to drive ridiculously fast on the water and will love every minute of it. Fountain holds the world record for the fastest V-bottom boat, at just over 160 mph. The fun part of that from your perspective and mine is that Fountain translates the technology that allows that kind of speed into the company's other boats, like the new Fountain 38 LX - the LX denoting luxury. Performance We ran the 38 LX on the hallowed waters of the Pamlico River behind the Fountain factory in Washington, North Carolina. While a 3-foot wake constituted the biggest sea we could find, the 38's ability to ignore it completely speaks well for its projected seakeeping abilities offshore.Our boat sported triple 225-hp Mercury Optimax Saltwater outboards, along with a set of water pressure, voltage and trim-angle gauges for each. In addition, each Fountain receives a Gaffrig GPS-based Tattle Tale speedometer with analog face as standard equipment. This very simple but accurate unit remembers the top speed until you hit reset.
