Layout & Features

• The helm is pure Fountain, with the brand's signature white-and-red gauge cluster, dual tachometers and speedometers for the twin-engine setup, trim and drive indicators, and an Azimuth compass mounted up top. The white-wrapped steering wheel and factory Fountain-branded dash give the cockpit an unmistakable, purpose-built performance boat feel.
• Aft, the cockpit seating carries the same white-and-red color scheme, with a bolstered bench seat and Fountain embroidery on the backrest — offering comfortable seating for passengers while underway or at rest.
• Step below and you'll find a surprisingly comfortable cuddy cabin, finished in clean white upholstery with plush red carpet throughout. The forward berth offers plenty of room to stow gear or stretch out, and a small starboard-side counter with built-in cup holders adds convenient storage right at the cabin entrance.
• The boat includes a private, enclosed head compartment. It's finished in a clean, molded fiberglass liner with a fully electric marine head, overhead lighting, mirror, and a built-in storage compartment with cabinet door for towels or supplies
• Just inside the companionway, a compact galley area includes a sink, cabinet storage, and a mini fridge — everything you need for a full day on the water without heading back to the dock. Red-accented steps lead down from the cockpit, tying the cabin's color scheme together with the rest of the boat.

Trailer

This Fountain 35 Lightning comes complete with a matching 2001 Eagle trailer, purpose-built to handle the boat's size and weight for easy hauling and storage.
