IIRC, PQ redesigned the Avenger hulls in 2000 or 01. Hey, it's a 38' boat that runs 65.......I really don't think handling is an issue. If you plan to go with bigger power, maybe it's something to consider. I just saw a utube video of a frickin' Bayliner running 90+.......don't think I'd be concerned about a 38 foot PowerQuest at anything under 80

OK, Why did they send every 98, 99, and early 2000 38's back to factory to have the strakes cut and blue printed to remove as much hook out of them as they could?
They told me mine "wasnt that bad" and was one of the last ones they did. Again, just drive the damn thing and make up your own mind. Great boats but I'd stay away from those yrs. IMO. I would love to drive one of the newer ones. They went from a hook bottom to a rocker and is said to be night & day difference. Also look closely at where they cut the strakes off. Mine developed cracks in that area which had to be fixed. Again just trying to keep someone from living the same nightmare I did. Ok I'm done!
