2024 Fountain 38 SCXTriple Mercury 400R Power | 290 Hours | Offshore Performance Meets Luxury Crossover Comfort | No Bottom Paint | Stored Indoors

The 2024 Fountain 38 SCX is a high-performance luxury center console engineered for buyers who want offshore speed, Bahamas capability, premium entertainment space, and true Fountain performance pedigree in one platform. 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.

The Fountain 38 SCX is engineered around offshore performance durability and high-speed stability.

Construction Highlights:

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.

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.

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:

• High-density composite stringer grid
• Fiberglass-reinforced transom
• Three-piece hull, liner, and deck construction
• Bonded and through-bolted assembly
• High-density cored hull sides, liner, and deck
• Self-bailing anti-skid cockpit
• Mercury electric/hydraulic steering
• Mercury K-Plane hydraulic trim tabs

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.
