More than a year in the making, the most legendary high-performance V-bottom to ever hit the water, has a new lease on life for 2025. Sporting a next-generation deck, transom, cabin, cockpit and dash, the only thing we didn’t update on the 42′ Lightning is the boat’s race proven bottom design. As rivals have learned on racecourses and waterways around the world, you can’t beat Fountain’s 42′ Lightning when it comes to top-end, midrange acceleration and ride control. The boat flat gets it, and is now more user-friendly than ever before.
