The Fountain 39DX is one of the most capable and versatile dual-consoles on the water today—combining Fountain’s legendary offshore performance with the comfort, space, and amenities of a luxury family cruiser. It’s fast, stable, beautifully finished, and built to handle everything from offshore runs to relaxed family days in the Great South Bay. For boaters who want a do-everything platform with zero compromise, the 39DX stands in a class of its own.
At Oakdale Yacht, we’ve run and rigged more of these than just about anyone in the Northeast. Here is our full, real-world review of what makes the Fountain 39DX such a standout.
Performance & Ride Quality
Offshore pedigree meets dual-console comfort.
What instantly sets the 39DX apart is the hull—Fountain’s iconic, stepped deep-V, designed to deliver speed and efficiency without sacrificing stability. Powered by triple Mercury V10 400s, the 39DX offers:
- Top speed in the mid-60s
- Efficient cruise in the 40–45 mph range
- Exceptional handling in mixed conditions
- Confident tracking and grip in sharp turns
- A surprisingly soft, dry ride for a family-friendly dual console
Even in the confused chop of the Great South Bay or inlet swell at Fire Island, the boat remains planted and predictable. This is where you feel Reggie Fountain’s DNA—precision, balance, and speed you can actually use.
Deck Layout & Comfort
Spacious, social, and built for long days on the water.
The 39DX provides one of the most flexible deck plans in the segment. From the moment you step aboard, the wide beam and thoughtful design stand out.
Forward Lounge Area
- Deep seating with room for the whole family
- Convertible table/sunpad
- Wind protection thanks to the enclosed windshield design
- Ample storage for gear, bags, and water toys
This is a space guests gravitate to—comfortable, open, and ideal for cruising, anchoring, or sunset rides.
Aft Entertainment Zone
- Wraparound lounge seating
- Electric aft shade
- Dive door for swimming, docking, or landing big fish
- Built-in refrigerator, sink, and prep station
- Smooth flow for entertaining or relaxing
Whether you’re running offshore or drifting the sandbar, the 39DX makes every area feel like the best seat in the house.
Helm & Technology
Comfort and control made effortless.
The helm is one of the biggest reasons customers fall in love with the 39DX.
Key highlights include:
- Twin or triple Simrad or Garmin displays
- Digital switching
- Mercury JPO joystick control
- Electric windshield vents
- High-back captain and companion seats with shock-mitigation
- Excellent visibility and ergonomic layout
It feels like the cockpit of a performance car—everything is exactly where it should be.
Cabin & Amenities
Genuine overnight capability.
Unlike many dual consoles that offer a “token” cabin, the 39DX provides a real, usable space:
- Climate-controlled cabin
- Convertible V-berth
- Fully enclosed head with shower
- Corian counters and premium finishes
- Smart windows and natural lighting
Perfect for kids napping, an overnight getaway, or simply adding comfort to your day trips.
Versatility — The 39DX’s Superpower
One boat, limitless ways to use it.
The strength of the Fountain 39DX lies in what it can do:
Family boating
Comfortable, safe, and feature-rich for kids and guests.
Sandbar & leisure
Huge seating, shade options, dive door, and entertainment stations.
Fishing
Large deck space, rod holders, livewell options, and the handling you need for serious offshore work.
Overnighting
A real cabin makes weekend trips easy.
Fast cruising
When you want to stretch its legs, the 39DX delivers traditional Fountain speed with modern refinement.
Most boats are good at one or two of these things. The 39DX excels at all of them.
Build Quality & Engineering
Fountain’s heritage of performance craftsmanship.
The 39DX is built with the same structural philosophy as the offshore race boats Fountain is famous for:
- Composite stringer grid
- Resin-infused construction
- Precision weight distribution
- Reinforced hull-to-deck bond
- Advanced lamination schedule
- Premium hardware and electrical rigging
The result is a boat that feels solid—no rattles, no flex, no shortcuts. Just pure confidence.
Who the 39DX Is Perfect For
This boat is ideal if you want:
- A performance boat that doubles as a family cruiser
- A dual console that can legitimately run offshore
- Luxury comfort without sacrificing speed
- A boat you’ll use more often—early spring through late fall
- Something special that stands out everywhere it goes
If you want one boat to do everything—and do it well—the 39DX belongs at the top of your list.
