38 Special Wanted
 

Looking for a 2001-2004 38 Special in the next 60-90 days...
Prefer with trailer, fresh water, under 175 hrs, 496 HO's, air/heat, gen would be nice but not required...

Thanks Dave

I do beleive this post will make someones day. :D I don't know what I would do without the Generator though. That has to be my single favorite amenity on our boat. Nothin like being able to keep the AC going while hanging out at the beach:cool-smiley-011:

John

Yep AC / Gen is the way to go....

Mine might be available... but doesn't fit your criteria..:D

I would like to have a generator but have seen that most of these for sale don't. If the boat is clean and is at the right price and doesn't have a gen I wouldn't hestitate. I have seen many folks using the honda EU2000i on their boats with no problems...

Anyone with a 2001-2002 38' special for sale?

Will not power up my A/C.

Do you have the "Honda Hard Start Kit" which is basically a giant resistor that lessens the impact when the AC compressor kicks in? Several of the Richmond guys have this and it works great. I think one guy even runs a 10K BTU with an EU2000i. Check with 'excursion' or 't500hps' from the board.

Thanks Brian I'll have to check into one.

I did some digging and I can't find it, but I know it exists. I think it is a capacitor/resistor combination. Make sure you have a good and thick shorepower pigtail to plug right into the Generator as well.

Dave I've found a few looking around for my next boat when our 33 sells.

http://www.dallasboats4sale.com/index.asp?boat_type=3 has one that is close to what you are looking for - 180 hours.

Get ahold of Brad Harrington ( Funhome ) Here on OSO
He has a 38 Special for sale. I am not exactly sure of the year but I belive it may fit in your criteria. He is in Kansas , so it will be a freshwater boat. If for some reason you can't find him on here get ahold of me & I will get you his email address & phone number for you.

Scott

Thanks for the leads guys, I'll check them out.

Dave,I just traded my 2000-38 special with 502's and all the goodies.It has 250 hrs on it.It is super clean and has gen and a/c. Go to legendmari*****up.com

Dock,

I did not know you were not able to run the a/c. Here is a link to a guy running a 13,500btu unit with a eu2000 on a motorhome.

Here is mine but it is a little older than what you are looking for. But it is in great shape!! So take a look and let me know.
It is a 1993 w/ 502 mags and a 2001 Eagle trailer, I was asking $68,500.00 but I need to sell this boat so would make you a heck of a deal!!!! BTW, its full ad is still on Bo**trader.com
