Fountain 38 LS 2021 vs Fountain 38 Tournament Edition 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Fountain 38 LS 2021 vs Fountain 38 Tournament Edition 2008 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 Tournament Edition 2008 tops out at 3 hp. Engine specs for the Fountain 38 LS 2021 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.
Both boats are rated for 11 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Fountain 38 LS 2021 and Fountain 38 Tournament Edition 2008 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
