2005 Fountain 48 Express Cruiser

This 2005 Fountain 48 Express Cruiser represents the builder's flagship model, combining race-bred offshore performance with luxury cruising capability. The 48-footer features a deep-V stepped hull design built in fiberglass, powered by triple Cummins QSB 5.9 480 HO turbo diesel engines with Arneson surface drives delivering 1,440 total horsepower. The engines were replaced in 2008 and have logged 500 hours. The boat was maintained under cover and on a lift when not in use, and is a freshwater example.

The interior showcases a custom high-gloss cherrywood finish with a forward master stateroom featuring a centerline berth and side access, an aft guest cabin, and an enlarged private head with shower. The saloon includes a wet bar with sink and refrigerator, entertainment center, and expansive seating arrangements throughout. Climate control consists of Marine Air air conditioning units (16,000 and 10,000 BTU) and a Webasto hydronic diesel heat system rated at 45,000 BTU.

The cockpit is designed for entertaining and performance, with a large removable table, dual power bolster captain's bench, spacious sun pad with power extension and power lift engine hatch, and a full heavy-duty camper back enclosure with upgraded canvas and window materials. An extensive electronics package includes updated Garmin GPS, Livorsi digital gauges, Raymarine depth sounder, ICOM VHF with DSC, and multiple displays. Additional equipment features a bow thruster with wireless control, Fischer Panda 7.0 KW generator, windlass, radar arch, and Magma stainless steel barbecue.

Recent updates include new SeaDek and Gator Step flooring, upgraded canvas and windows, new stereo and speakers, new white instrument bezels, new batteries, and new interior carpeting. An optional matching 2006 MYCO M48TAD dually tandem axle trailer is available.
