The 1998 Fountain 42 Lightning is a high-performance offshore boat built on the brand's signature twin-step hull design. It runs twin Mercury 500HP engines and reaches speeds of 72 mph, with a cruising speed of 56 mph. The boat has logged only 198 original hours on its engines.
Recent upgrades totaling over $35,000 include new Mercury Bravo One XZ drives, transom assemblies, Hydromotive props, Gil exhaust manifolds, and Drive Indicator 3300C cables. The Silent Choice exhaust system provides operational flexibility. All new components carry only test hours.
The boat has been stored indoors in a climate-controlled garage, protected from sun and weather exposure. It has received regular maintenance at a Mercury dealer and passed a recent survey. A red Myco trailer is included.
