About this boat

Powered by Triple Mercury 400Rs with only 290 hours, this 38 SCX delivers the aggressive ride quality Fountain is known for while offering a layout equally suited for sandbar entertaining, tournament fishing, and high-speed coastal cruising. Built on Fountain’s Positive Lift double-step hull with pad keel and notch transom design, the 38 SCX combines efficient offshore performance with responsive handling and a remarkably soft ride in rough water conditions. For buyers comparing: …the Fountain 38 SCX stands out as one of the few models that successfully blends true offshore performance with upscale crossover comfort and social seating. Why This 38 SCX Stands Out The Fountain 38 SCX is engineered around offshore performance durability and high-speed stability. Construction Highlights: This hull design gives the 38 SCX exceptional rough-water confidence while maintaining the speed and efficiency expected from a Fountain performance platform. Triple Mercury 400R Performance Powered by Triple Mercury 400R outboards with approximately 290 hours, this package delivers strong acceleration, offshore cruise capability, and reliable high-speed handling. Performance Features The 418-gallon fuel capacity makes this an ideal platform for South Florida offshore boating and Bahamas crossings. Garmin Electronics Package The helm is configured for serious offshore navigation and owner-operator usability. Electronics Include The layout offers excellent visibility and clean ergonomics at speed. Cockpit & Fishing Features The 38 SCX balances luxury seating with legitimate offshore fishing functionality. Fishing & Deck Features The oversized insulated forward console storage and below-deck storage capacity make this a highly versatile offshore platform. Seating & Comfort The 38 SCX separates itself from many hardcore fishing center consoles with a far more social and comfortable layout. Comfort Features The layout transitions naturally between fishing, entertaining, and family cruising use. JL Audio & Entertainment System This boat is heavily upgraded for entertaining. Audio Package Includes The entertainment package is exceptionally strong for a performance-oriented center console. Bahamas & South Florida Capability The Fountain 38 SCX is particularly well suited for: Its combination of fuel capacity, stepped-hull performance, electronics, livewells, and social layout makes it one of the more versatile premium center consoles currently on the market. Performance, Versatility & Offshore Capability The 2024 Fountain 38 SCX was designed for buyers seeking a rare combination of high-performance offshore capability, premium comfort, and luxury crossover versatility in a sub-40-foot platform. Powered by Triple Mercury 400Rs and built on Fountain’s proven Positive Lift double-step hull design, the 38 SCX delivers the kind of speed, handling, and rough-water confidence that has made Fountain a respected name among performance-oriented boaters for decades. Equipped with a full Garmin navigation suite including dual GPSMAP displays, Fantom radar, AIS-equipped VHF, and Mercury VesselView integration, this boat is equally comfortable making Bahamas crossings, offshore fishing runs, or high-speed coastal cruises throughout South Florida and beyond. The oversized social seating areas, premium JL Audio entertainment system, extensive insulated storage, and upscale cockpit layout also make the 38 SCX exceptionally well suited for entertaining, sandbar use, and luxury day boating. Buyers searching for a fast offshore center console with the comfort and usability of a premium crossover platform will immediately appreciate the balance this Fountain offers between performance, fishing capability, and refined owner experience. Why Buyers Gravitate Toward the Fountain 38 SCX Owners and performance-oriented buyers consistently gravitate toward the Fountain 38 SCX because it successfully combines offshore speed, Bahamas-ready range, luxury seating, and serious fishing capability in one platform. The stepped-hull design and Triple Mercury 400R package deliver the kind of fast, confident offshore performance buyers expect from the Fountain name, while the oversized social seating, premium JL Audio system, Garmin electronics package, and refined cockpit layout make the boat equally comfortable for entertaining and extended day cruising. For many buyers, the 38 SCX hits the sweet spot between high-performance center console and luxury crossover platform — offering the speed and offshore capability needed for South Florida and Bahamas boating without sacrificing comfort, storage, or usability. This model performs strongly across those categories because it combines genuine offshore capability, premium electronics, entertainment upgrades, and Fountain’s proven performance hull design in one package. Broker Note: The 2024 Fountain 38 SCX fills a rare space in today’s market. Many center consoles are either pure fishing platforms or pure luxury cruisers. Very few successfully combine serious offshore performance, fishing utility, premium electronics, and upscale social comfort the way the 38 SCX does. For buyers seeking a high-energy South Florida or Bahamas platform with speed, capability, and luxury crossover usability, this Fountain deserves serious attention. Built on Fountain’s proven Positive Lift performance hull, the 38 SCX delivers the fast, responsive handling and offshore ride quality the brand is known for. The double-step hull, pad keel, and notch transom design help reduce drag while improving lift, efficiency, and high-speed stability in offshore conditions. Construction highlights include: The result is a center console platform engineered for serious offshore use while still delivering the comfort and refinement expected in a premium luxury crossover boat. A trailer may be available. The listed specifications include 1 head, 1200 hp of total engine power, and a maximum draft of 2.58 ft.
