They better throw in the trailer at 400 hours. Go with a 42 and never look back.

Is there such a thing as a 2010 42? There does not seem to be any out there, lots of '09 stock, just don't see the 2010 inventory.

I keep hearing that from the guys that know Fountains.

Keep looking Eddie, the right boat will turn up. Will let you know if any pop up under the radar.

There are a few but they were all retail sold. The MFG switched to 2011 @ MIAMI.

[QUOTE=Team Shogren;3092456]The 38 is a stretched 35. The 42 is its own boat and there really is nothing comparable. Let me give you a few comparisons. We have scaled all three boats. The 38 is only 400 pounds heavier than a 35 while the 42 is 4,000 pounds heavier (12,880 dry with 700's & 6's) than a 38.

The way I see from fountains web site,
35- 9500lbs, 38- 9800lbs, 42- 11400 lbs, dif., from 38 and 42 dry with 525's is 1600 lbs.
Still big dif.

I think the Fountain site number would be standard rigging on the 42 which would be 525's with Bravos. The number would be quite a bit more with the No. 6 drives. Big weight difference in the drives, plus the trannies etc.

I know of a 38 with staggered 525's that maybe for sale in GA. If you are interested send me a PM. A friend told me about it this week. It is not listed anywhere but heard from a friend that it was for sale. Let me know.

True but if both boats have same power your comparing the same thing

I am really undecided on a new boat, I ultimatly want 38 with 600's 06 or newer, but the cockpit room is a killer. I am going from a 2000 35 which will has more room than a newer boat.I realize because of the full stagger. Scott at shogren has been very heplfull. So I realy think I have to go to 42, which I realy don't want to. Trailering, lift ,dock all set up for my 35 , 38 will be okay , 42 have to change everything. We boat mostly on a river so 38 is perfect. Want ot go over 100 so I feel better in a 38 than a 35.So when the right one comes along even maybe a 35 , 38 or 42.Guess I want my cake and eat it to.
