Question for 38 and 42 owners

I can't imagine ever going down in size and I just have a 40'. Even just going for a few rides on friends smaller boats 33'-38' last year was a "sore" reminder. I would say go as big as your wallet, storage, and trailering capability will let you!

Hell I'd be happy with 575sc's or 600's. I actually thought about going that way but it might be easier to finance a boat that already has in it or already does what you want it to do. Unless somebody is interested in giving me a great deal on some bigger power I am in somewhat of a holding pattern.

What was done to get a stock 525 boat to 90 mph ??

I'd have to back Beak Boater on this. I know the boat in question, and I certainly don't know if it holds true for all of the 42/525 boats but that one does run. I was running a friends '08 525 38' earlier this year on a poker run as hard as she would go, and I know it was 90-92 MPH GPS for quite some time and that 42/525 boat ran a few clicks behind us and never lost any ground. It didn't make "sense" to me either, but it does it.
