The 388 is two and a half foot longer than the 368, the 388 sponson is one and a half wider, the 388 has a little deeper tunnel at the bow and the 388 is two and a half inches wider than the 368. I have both ready to start rigging/paint and will be ready for early summer.

I agree with you on the tunnel extention part, however I was referring to the piece that comes off the deck to make the transom a little sexier and more aerodynamic looking. That's what I was referring to as the bussle

I may be wrong, but I thought I remember Pete telling me the tunnel extension did not do anything, strictly there for cosmetic purpose. |

I think of a bustle more as what MTI can add to their 42 that make them a 44. The top portion that covers the drives, etc, but stops just before the chines: http://img810.imageshack.us/img810/8291/bustleex.jpg |

Come to think of it I ran with Danny Desantos new 2010 40ss this summer. A couple of weeks ago i Complemented Peter on how Bad A$$ the tunnel extension and the extended decks above the transom. Quote " its all cosmetic makes no difference in performance." Im with Blee on the tunnel extension theory so I was somewhat surprised on Peters response. |

The bussel is not included in the info I gave on the difference in the two boats. It would make both of them longer from front to back but no difference in wet surface. Here's a few pics of bussels, two on a 368, one 388 and a 40'. Most of the Skaters have the bussle/tunnel extension as shown below.

Yeah I knew what you meant, but was trying to clairify for the others that may have been confused. Didn't mean to sound like I was disagreeing with your comment.
