Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Fountain 38 CC Open 2009 vs Fountain Tournament Edition 2002 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Fountain 38 CC Open 2009 vs Fountain Tournament Edition 2002 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.
The Fountain 38 CC Open 2009 carries a rated maximum of 3 hp. Engine data for the Fountain Tournament Edition 2002 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Fountain 38 CC Open 2009 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Fountain Tournament Edition 2002 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 CC Open 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Fountain 38 CC Open 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 38,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Fountain Tournament Edition 2002 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 9 that costs less to run day-to-day.
