Rare and powerful. Seaworthy and solid. The 2008 33 Fountain Sportfish is a beast of boat.
With a double stepped hull. Its high performance meets fishing! With a gorgeous cabin space and so much more. This boat will outperform its competitors! Covered moorage is transferable.
The power is twin 300HP Mercury Verado engines. Port: 2018 w/ 451 hours. Starboard: 2008 w/ 1005 hours.
Smartcraft gauges. Sound system extraordinaire with Dual Fusion media screens and all things Fusion (subs, amp, speakers)
Vetus bow thruster. New 12” Garmin radar/plotter. Garmin autopilot.
With a center helm seat and bench seating on both sides. In floor fish boxes with pump outs. Transom bait tank. Large cockpit storage space. (2) live wells, transom rigging station, built in tackle drawers…
The sharp interior has ample headroom throughout. Two bunks and reverse cycle heat and ac. Vaccuflush head with holding tank and overboard discharge.
Luxury and high performance with a full fishing set up. The Fountain Sportfish is a very useful boat for the PNW. Spend the weekend or summer holidays away boating and fishing in style.
You can cover a lot of coastline in a weekend and outperform other boats in the meantime. This boat has a superior ride quality than most! Out of the water for cleaning Sept 2023.
Please see below for performance reviews: test power is 275hp Mercs.
“My test boat hit the published top speed of its closest competitor and still had rpm in reserve. It’s built to be a fast fisherman, but speed isn’t this boat’s only objective.
Take command of the 33 Sportfish Cruiser at its center helm console, which provides a great view of your course, your wake, your cockpit, and your crew. Note the cool flip-up jump seats that allow your crew to join you for the trek. When you don’t want company, they fold neatly out of the way.
Now hit the throttles. The 33 Sportfish Cruiser gets on top responsively, thanks to its twin-step hull and a pair of four-bladed propellers. Running in following seas won’t be a problem. Acceleration is more powerful than quick because this is a big boat. It’s heavier than the 10,000-pound Grady-White Express 330, but faster nonetheless.
We topped 52 mph with twin 275-hp Mercury Verado outboards during my test. Grady-White says its Express 330 tops out at 44 mph when powered by a pair of 250-hp Yamaha F250 outboard motors ($244,680).
The 33 Sportfish Cruiser made 41.6 mph, while burning 35.8 gph at 5000 rpm. It cruised most economically at 4000 rpm, where it sped along at 29.8 mph and burned 22.4 gph for an economy of 1.33 mpg.
I’d say that credit goes to the 33 Sportfish Cruiser’s stepped hull and skinnier beam, which combined well with the supercharged Verados to best the Grady-White’s numbers. At the opposite end of the spectrum, it posted a 12-mph minimum planing speed, a surprisingly good low number, especially for a stepped-hull boat. Most are only good at going fast”
