His quote on 35 Lightning with 525 was $215-- which seems high in relation to the x's being quoted out there. You can about get a 42X with 525 for close to that. Whats everybody think??
i was told by local fountain dealer that they are gonna re tool the top deck and would loose a some cockpit space and would be aa poker run 35 with staggereds.

The canopy boat is an older model. Reggie Jr. has raced it a few years back and Joe Sgro raced in Washington NC.
It hauls a@@. Runs 112 mph with 525's But is a twitchy boat, will be a handfull in seas.
Go with the new staggered 38 Lightning. Very fast and stable!!

either way bad ass boats. but a 38 staggerd gonna run 92 ish i would think and thats 20 mph off the 35 that is huge diff.. it compounds as u go faster think 72 to 92 nop now go to 112 that is gonna make anytning nutty,,
my o2 as my 35 is solid to about 85to 90, lose and trying to find its bottom and then seems to find it and then over 95 takes a nice set.

The 38 poker run boat at 110mph you can take your hands off the wheel!
35 is a beauty, but has too little bottom, Unless you want a boat you have to really drive and have a lot of fun!!! Reggie swears by the 38 Staggered, and loves the new 40 poker run model!!!!
Now, please dont think I am knockin the 35, hey... It has won more boat of the year awards than I've had hot dinners!!

Re: 35X w/525s ?
I'm new here and dont usually post alot, but maybe someone would please answer a few questions for me. I am interested in the 35x, but would like to know how the boat handles/est speed(stock power). I also read where somebody said it would be a tough re-sale boat with 525's, ? is the lightning that much different? or cost.
thank you !!
thank you !!

Stock power is twin 496 Mag Ho's with 425HP each. It will do 76-78MPH loaded right. I have not been in one in rough water, but It is a nice boat. I have not seen one with 525's because if you want 525's you go to the twin step lightning. There is a significant price increase from the executioner to the lightning, but the lightning also has more cockpit room(equal to the 42).
