A 36 is a great boat for the greta lakes, a 41 is really great, but it's a big step. If you go with a 36 buy one with Speedmasters or you'll be eating lots of bravos, unless you have low HP. The one in georga has a lot of paint damage, but it's a cool boat, I have walked around her.

It been by lake lanier for a long time, the owner also has a 42 OL. I am sure your going to spend some good money on paint repair but it's a cool boat. Have it surveyed and a leak down done before wasting a flight, then you'll know what you have to work with. 36's are rare, and speedmaster one are even more rare. The all white one with 6's would be at the top of my list.

Speedmasters are very reliable but parts are only going to become harder to find. Parts were expensive back when they were commonly available so that's not going to get any better. I looked at 3A's for my Cig but opted for the Konrad. If you can find a nice TRS boat, the Konrad conversion makes alot of sense. Same power handling, available non-Mercruiser-priced parts.

My buddy stores his 41 at the same shop that this 36 is keep at, that's why I walked around her and was checking her out. I love APACHES so I had to take a peek, I don't know the owner. I know it was down in the islands before coming to georgia years ago. I like the older 36's per 1995 when they had the rear seat closer to the front bolsters. In 1995 Bobby moved the back seat back 6", a tight cockpit is nice in big water.
