Life happens! Thing is I'm happy as can be back in an outboard boat and made a new Skater brother in the process.

The 368 isn't a big enough jump to warrant the large amount of money you're going to spend to get into a bigger boat. The 338 really runs just like a 32B in the rough, and there's not a big enough difference between a 338/32B and a 368 in the rough to make it worthwhile, imo. I don't blame you for wanting to go bigger, as there's no comparing the 338/32B to a 388/40 when the water get's nasty. But trust me on this one - I've owned my 30 for 10 years, and I've also spent a lot of time in a 36 (poker run and raced the ex Fountain/Mercury 36 with Rod Karnofel), though the 36 does ride much better than a 30/32B in the rough - if I ever made the jump to a bigger Skater, it would definitely be a 388! Good luck with the sale on Sam's old rig - it is an awesome piece for sure!
Thanks for the good information. The 388's are on my radar. For the record my 338 takes the rough/sloppy water much better than most would think.

My only response was well that's a good problem to have..

Great boat and I'm still waiting for my ride in it lol!
You need to free up your schedule. We missed you at TicFaw.

No he ordered your actual boat and later canceled the order due to the death of Brad Smith.
