Wasn't in the market but now thinking about it.... Ive been looking at a 38zx down the road, I know absolutely nothing about the brand, this boat is huge, and the cabin is amazing... what speeds should this boat see, and how is handling ?

Just wanting to know pros and cons....

It's a 2002
575sci. 17hrs
Not sure on drives
Asking 150k firm

I've looked at others, and this seems kinda high!

Thanks

Glass dave has one with merc 525 sc's,i think he said his runs 82 mph ,,i would guess 85 is max for this one,,its a wave crusher..if you but it just make sure you get use to it first b4 going wot...a salesman and a buyer were test driving one on my locak lake and the guy made a wrong move and did not follow the salesmans orders and they spun out and flipped the boat at near 100 mph..he went into the turn at this speed killing both of them..ask glass dave he can fill you in on the boat..

Is 17 hours total run time or on rebuilds?


I had not heard of any issues with the 38 ZX spinning, only the 45. Fixx, was it a 38 that spun?

I've never heard of a zx flipping or anything of the sort. Owned an 02 for 5 yrs and my buddy still owns it now. Most awesome solid ride but not an 85 mph pkg. Realistically a 75-80 mph pkg. mine was 70-75 on GPS with 500 efi's. cabin is a plus, great cockpit space, wave crusher, great amenities. Neg is not nearly as fast as other 38's or even the 38ZR but that's not its market. Price is def very high you quoted.

I believe rebuilds... Seller hasn't contacted me back yet....

Rwbrew3

That is sad to hear! I appreciate the info for sure!!

Rwbrew3

Yeah, I thought that price was high as well, I've been looking around and that one is one of the most expensive I've seen. I appreciate the info...

realistic sell price should be half of what they are asking.
