2024 Fountain 38 SC: High-Performance Center Console with Mercury Racing Quad Outboards
Overview
The 2024 Fountain 38 SC represents the latest evolution in high-performance center console design, engineered for serious boaters who demand both raw speed and refined functionality. At 38.33 feet in length with a 10.5-foot beam, this dual-console layout delivers the spaciousness of a larger cruising platform while maintaining the agility and efficiency that define Fountain's reputation in the performance boat market. Powered by four Mercury Racing 450R supercharged outboard engines producing 1,800 combined horsepower, the 38 SC is built on Fountain's NMMA-certified positive lift hull featuring a high-performance double-step pad keel design engineered for stability at speed and efficiency across a wide operating range. The boat showcases less than 70 hours of operation and has been lift-kept, positioning it as a nearly new entry into the market with the full benefit of modern marine technology and factory-fresh construction. This configuration places the 38 SC at the intersection of performance capability and practical day-boating comfort, making it suitable for offshore fishing, high-speed cruising, and entertaining in a single platform.
Hull Design and Construction
Fountain's construction methodology emphasizes durability and performance through a three-piece composite system. The hull, liner, and deck are bonded using a combination of gluing, through-bolting, and tabbing techniques to create a unified structure resistant to flex and fatigue. The double-step pad keel hull design is fundamental to the 38 SC's performance envelope, generating lift during acceleration and allowing the boat to achieve planning attitude quickly while maintaining directional stability in following seas. The hull sides, deck, and liner incorporate high-density cored construction wrapped in fiberglass reinforcement, a method that reduces weight while increasing rigidity. The self-bailing, anti-skid deck features a bonded stringer grid system that prevents water accumulation during high-speed running or rough conditions. A notched transom design accommodates the quad outboard configuration while optimizing weight distribution and hydrodynamic efficiency. The hull is finished in Oyster Gray gelcoat with custom graphics available in four design options, while the stainless steel rub rail with vinyl extrusion and eight-inch pull-up cleats provide both protection and functional hardware placement.
Power and Propulsion
Four Mercury Racing 450R supercharged outboard engines form the propulsion foundation of this 38 SC. Each engine is a 4.6-liter V8 FourStroke producing 450 horsepower at wide-open throttle, with an operating range of 5,800 to 6,400 rpm. The combined 1,800 horsepower output positions this boat in the upper tier of center console performance, supporting the manufacturer's published 100 mph top-end potential. These Mercury Racing engines feature advanced combustion and supercharging technology designed to deliver power across a broad rpm band, supporting both aggressive acceleration and economical cruising when trimmed appropriately. The engines are equipped with Mercury DTS (Digital Throttle and Shift) controls for synchronized throttle management and smooth gear transitions. Mercury's five-year, 300-hour platinum warranty extension covers the power package through 2028, providing significant peace of mind on a critical system. Stainless steel, performance-matched propellers are factory-installed, and a Reverso automatic flushing system with push-button operation simplifies post-run engine maintenance on the quad outboard configuration. An electric steering system with hydraulic assist ensures responsive helm feedback, while Livorsi 1150 hydraulic trim tabs with hard-anodized billet aluminum construction provide pitch and roll control during acceleration and running trim adjustments.
Helm and Electronics
The helm station reflects modern marine ergonomics and digital integration. A carbon fiber-reinforced steering wheel with stainless steel knob and push-button LED-illuminated switches provides tactile control and clear visual feedback. The joystick control system simplifies maneuvering in tight spaces and at idle, a feature that becomes valuable during docking or navigating crowded anchorages. The electronics package centers on Garmin's GPSMAP-8616 dual 16-inch displays, the industry standard for chartplotting, sonar integration, and navigation data management. An Airmar B60 transducer supplies sonar information for bottom mapping and fish finding, while Mercury's VesselView 903 engine monitoring system displays real-time data on engine performance, fuel consumption, and system health. This integration allows the operator to monitor all critical functions from the helm without requiring multiple separate instruments. The automotive-style dash features a glass windshield, providing visibility and weather protection. An opening portlight in the center console with screen ventilation allows air circulation without compromising security. LED navigation lights, four LED spreader lights mounted on the T-top (two forward, two aft), and a 10K-lumen LED T-top light bar ensure visibility during low-light operations. A computerized lighting control system from Shadow-Caster allows RGB color customization for underwater and cockpit illumination, creating both functional and aesthetic lighting options.
Fishing and Offshore Capabilities
The 38 SC's fishing-oriented features support both casual and serious offshore applications. A 30-gallon livewell positioned under a rear-facing seat maintains bait and catch quality during extended runs. The livewell includes integrated aeration and circulation systems designed to support extended fishing sessions. A tackle center positioned at the port side rear-facing seat organizes fishing gear, while a starboard-side trash bin keeps the cockpit clean during filleting or cleanup operations. Gemlux outriggers with BA-12 bases and 16-foot carbon fiber internal poles extend the effective trolling spread, allowing multiple lines to be fished at varying distances and depths. A rocket launcher rod holder mounted aft of the hardtop provides additional rod storage and quick-access positioning for live bait or stand-by tackle. The boat's 418-gallon fuel capacity supports extended offshore range, enabling multi-day fishing trips or long-distance cruising without frequent refueling. The bow thruster, a standard feature on this model, improves maneuverability in confined spaces and reduces the need for aggressive helm input during positioning. A complete ground tackle system includes a through-hull windlass with polished stainless steel plow anchor, 15 feet of 5/16-inch galvanized chain, and 150 feet of 5/8-inch eight-strand braided line, providing secure anchoring in sand, mud, or soft bottom conditions typical of many fishing destinations.
Cockpit Layout and Seating
The 38 SC's cockpit organization balances fishing functionality with entertaining comfort. The helm seat features flip-up bolsters and articulating armrests with fold-down foot rests, allowing the operator to adjust position for extended running or docking maneuvers. A forward double-wide console seat with articulating armrests and integrated drink holders serves as a passenger station or observation point during cruising. An aft-facing seat with upholstered backrest and five integrated drink holders faces the transom, creating a social gathering point for entertaining or observation during fishing. Bow seating with integrated backrests, drink holders, and underseating storage provides forward-facing accommodation and stowage for fenders, lines, and miscellaneous gear. Gunwale coaming bolsters on port and starboard sides offer padded support and integrate the boat's logo into the upholstery pattern. The cockpit sole features color-coordinated flooring in slate gray and black, complementing the monochromatic aesthetic package. A Fountain pattern marine mat with matching colors and logo extends across the deck walkaround and T-top, improving slip resistance and visual cohesion. The T-top itself is constructed from fiberglass with a custom welded aluminum support frame, providing shade and weather protection while housing LED spreader lights and overhead storage. A forward sailshade in black offers additional sun and spray protection for the forward cockpit area.
Comfort and Convenience Features
Practical features enhance the boating experience beyond raw performance. A transom shower with pressurized fresh water allows rinsing after fishing or water activities. A ceramic head with fresh water and raw water holding tanks, overboard discharge, and a pressurized sink supports extended cruising without returning to shore facilities. Seven below-deck storage lockers, including four with overboard diaphragm discharge pumps, provide compartmentalized stowage for provisions, safety equipment, and personal gear. Fresh water and raw water washdown systems simplify deck cleaning after fishing or general maintenance. A safety ladder with slide-in design facilitates boarding from the water. A starboard transom door with a stern platform extends the usable deck area and improves access to water-based activities. The premium upholstery package features quilted, patterned fabric with color-matched inserts, while the helm
