Check this 05 out. It has a lot of upgrades and good monies for it. The wife and I were looking it over but we would have to change to many things to move from our present 29 to this 42.

You may get bored in a 42, coming out of a 35. The 42 is the ultimate wave crusher---but with no big waves, it will be pretty boring. It may run close in top end numbers, but the 42 will take a lot longer to get their. Tested a couple of boats on Pickwick, with Pier 57, very nice place. I could see it getting a little rough around the marinas, but you would have to go hunt for a wave big enough to feel. Maybe one of those house boat wakes. Go water test it, then make up your mind.

wcmarine:

What did you mean by "just wait a little bit...might be some surprises...".
Did you mean surprises from Fountain? Do you know something the rest of us need to know?
