It handles absolutely superbly, the performance of the tracking, the turning.” said Fountain’s Chief Operating Officer Jeff Harris. “The boat is an exceptionally good, no nobody’s 40-, 42-foot boat runs anywhere near the way this boat runs. All upholstery work is done in-house at Fountain so buyers can customize the 42 Lightning’s cockpit. The remake didn’t stop there for the 2022 model and included the cockpit, cabin and transom.
