Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Fountain 32 Center Console 2007 vs Fountain 38 Tournament Edition 2006 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Fountain 32 Center Console 2007 vs Fountain 38 Tournament Edition 2006 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Fountain 38 Tournament Edition 2006 measures 37,0 feet overall (2006), giving it roughly 5,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Fountain 32 Center Console 2007 at 32,0 feet (2007). At 7 lbs and 106 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The Fountain 32 Center Console 2007 carries a rated maximum of 300 hp. Engine data for the Fountain 38 Tournament Edition 2006 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Fountain 38 Tournament Edition 2006 carries 287 gallons versus 3 gallons in the Fountain 32 Center Console 2007. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Fountain 38 Tournament Edition 2006 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Fountain 32 Center Console 2007 caps at 9. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Fountain 38 Tournament Edition 2006 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Fountain 38 Tournament Edition 2006 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 37,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Fountain 32 Center Console 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 9 that costs less to run day-to-day.
