I have to be honest if you are looking for a boat thats family friendly The 38 ZX may not be the best choice. Its a fantastic boat but better suited to two. None of the cusions are the least bit comfortable and there are a few things that complicate it a bit like the fore deck can be treterous with a fresh shine, NO bow rails and the crowned shape. The sunpad is also kinda steep and can be slipery when you have a towel on it for protection. The rear seating is a sculpted four bolster style and seems kinda low to me but as of yet i dont believe i've lost any passengers though:D , still the bolstering is a nuisance when docked and entertaining. The boat truley is a love/hate relationship and better suited to a single guy picking up chiks :evilb: It is with out a doubt one of the best looking boats ever built, in my opinion, and performs very well. I also have a ScarabIII and i actually think it is more comfortable on long weekends with more then two on board, that boat is the Griswold family truckster for the water. I can easily sleep like eight on that thing :drink:


You probably will find what you are looking for in a Sonic or Blackthunder. I always thought the Sonics were pretty well layed out.

heres a pretty cool piece if you dont mind OB's, it was just mentioned in the PP thread. Monster cockpit and the quality is unmatched.

fountain 38
fountain 42

thanks to each and everyone who sent me the info!

Sonic 358 cabin is the same as the 386 and the 42 and 45 cabins are the same.

that is pretty cool!!! nice cockpit space with the outboards. inside is pretty nice to.

are you 100% sure?

In both cases then, where fo they put the extra 3 feet? engine room? cockpit? or 1 1/2 in each?

you could get triples in the 386 and the 45 were triples so the engine comartment is where the 3 feet is

I'll get the dimensions on the 35 Sonic for you this weekend.
