47 Lightning

Our 47' Lightning is the ultimate blend of performance and style. Triple 500 EFI Mercurys propel this amazing boat over 80 MPH, making it one of the fastest entries in this size range. Fountain's top rated Lightning man-handles whitewater while you enjoy all the amenities of a luxury cruiser. Our fuel efficient, Super Ventilated Positive Lift bottom, coupled with a 310- gallon fuel capacity, keeps long distance ports of call within reach.

Reggie Fountain
"Style, luxury and high performance is what the 47' is all about. High-tech integrated air vents are contoured in the mold to help cool a spacious engine compartment that easily accepts triples. Our contoured backseat blends perfectly with innovative front-to-back electric bolsters to safely accommodate all your friends and family. Finally, in the unlikely event that a motor fails, the 47' runs faster on just two engines than most other boats run at wide open throttle." We also offer a Poker Run version with Twin Staggered Mercury 900's or Sterling Engines.
