Thinking about an Awesome
Is this boat still being made? I was looking at a 2002 38 with twin 900's on her. Since im very new to the awesome brand is there anything I should be aware of...good and bad? Thanks in advance

Re: Thinking about an Awesome
Thanks for the info. I currently have a 312 Formula and I know this will be a big step up for me if I decide to pursue this type of boat.

Re: Thinking about an Awesome
DAn can put you in a brand new one with 525's for under 300k they also build their own motors if you want more power.

Re: Thinking about an Awesome
a 38' should see 130-135mph depending on props and drives, It also has a large cabin, and no exotic layup materials.

I think he said around 120mph. He did mention how big the cabin was and that was surprising. Didnt think cat's had much of a cabin. So, ho does the ride and drive of a cat differ from a v-hull? Take a while to gert use to or easier? He said it has to run on 93 octane but the highest any marina goes up to is 91 here. Maybe a stupid question but can i just add octane boost and be ok? One more question, with that much power and it only having XR drives am i prone to throw drives with that much power?

Re: Thinking about an Awesome
Marc, what are they asking for botox? Awesome is starting a new 38, I know Dan would make you a great deal on it, what is your budget? thanks, we should be able to work with you and get you insurance.

Re: Thinking about an Awesome
Wiggler4490, The last time I saw Botox posted on here under the classifieds they were asking $250k. Your right Markel is about the only 1 who will insure "Ultra high Performance" cats. Markel is who we have for insurance on our 31.
Chattviper, we went from a formula 357 w/420's to a 31 awesome cat w/900's and #5 drives and love it! The v-bottom is nice but there is nothing as smooth as a cat ride!

Re: Thinking about an Awesome
First issue is the insurance, once I clear that up then I will let you know about looking at a new one. My budget?? Well, again, depends on insurance and I cannot see how a new one would be cheaper than a 02 model.
