1996 Fountain 25 Sport Fish

Step aboard and you’ll notice how much cockpit space Fountain squeezed into a 25-footer. High gunwales and a wide, uncluttered deck give you room to swing a rod or work a fish around the bow without tripping over gear. The helm layout is simple and purposeful, with clear sightlines and that classic Fountain sheerline stretching forward. Under the cushions you’ll find deep storage for tackle and safety gear, plus in-deck fish boxes that can double as extra cooler space for family days. The small cabin isn’t just a place to duck out of the sun; it’s big enough to stow overnight bags and keep the kids’ gear dry when the spray kicks up.

This 25 Sport Fish really shines in local waters where conditions can change quickly. The stepped performance hull softens the chop and lets you run comfortably across open stretches while still feeling nimble around tight harbors and inlets. Its size makes it easy to trailer, launch, and tuck into smaller slips, yet it has the range and seakeeping to chase fish well offshore on the right days. With a modern outboard on the bracket, you get strong hole shot for beating bridge openings, efficient cruise for longer runs, and shallow draft that’s handy around sandbars and back-bay channels.
