Brace Yourself What's the 42x like that is for sale at J&J in port clinton? Brians 39 was unreal when we did last years thunderfest on it ... That's what sold me on the staggered TS.

You're probably the only person qualified to answer your own question as you know what you're looking for and want you want from your next boat. But, I do agree the 39/700's will be less hassle and probably have better resale and be a lot easier to move in the future when that time comes.

39/700 boat = 105 very little maintenance (Easier to sell)
42X/850 boat= 107 double the maintenance or more
Both are great in the rough water. 42X has a little deeper cockpit.

if you prefer the look of the 42X but do not want the 850 maintenance and up front cost, do a 42X with 700's. Phil has them running right at 100 with box stock 700's. Both are beautiful boats.
