Any of you diehard Fountain guys ever heard or seen a staggered 38 SC? Stumbled across one and wondering if someone decided to get creative post-facto or if it actually came offset as some rare one-off option directly from Fountain. I haven't actually seen boat in person to see if there are any sings of transom or stringer hack and slap.
Secondly, how much speed and economy does an earlier non-stepped 38 SC give up to an equivalent later stepped hull? Seems like the steps on the later models are fairly small by today's standards.
Lastly, any general input from current or former owners of SCs would be greatly appreciated.
Looking to up-size to a performance boat that has the creature comforts of a cruiser for weekend overnighting for the wife and two small munchkins...while remaining towable (not like I want much?!). The 38 EC would be a dream boat for my situation, but pre-owned ones are still out of my range and would probably be testing the upper end of towability.
