I love my new 35 Lightning, ElCapitan. It cruises at 80 MPH

No but they were close but I was comfortable and could brace myself. I had the same problem in my 29 too but back then I had 2 knees and use to wedge them in to hold me in the boat while sitting. In a sport boat I seem to mostly half way sit/ lean into the bolster. I just move the seat bottom down about an inch or so to catch my rear in real rough stuff.
If I do end up with a 35 or 38 one day I will have them move the seats back 1 inch too.

Totally right - the point of the thread is the Mike fits in the new 35. I also believe Mike posted his fish boat. Were you elected or did you appoint yourself thread cop?

Naw, I'm not leaving just yet. I love the outboard powered boats because of ease of maintanance, shallow water ability and ease of flushing/washing after the day is done. Plus I still like to fish a few times a year.

So now my problem is I need 2 boats!. I might change my mind but I'd like to have a 35-38 performance boat that will hit 100mph and a 24-27 center console with twin OB's.

Mark, 4-300 Opti xs's on a 38TE Fountain will do 86mph!
