Ive posted this before, but I love this 405 picture. My camera was pretty salty and wet that day.

I dont consider 60-62 mph as underpowered from 496s in a boat you can stand up in to take a shower, and all those other options.

These boats are slugs, I have one at my marina here in clearwater florida, nice looking boat but basically plows through the water. He told us that he wished he would have purchased the .38 special with 500's. His first choice.

I'm not sure how he would of been better off with a 38 Special, one of my buddies has one with 500 EFI's and it runs around 62.

What I think is interesting is comparing a 38 Special to a 405, two completley different boats. Sort of like comparing either one to my Outlaw. All 3 boats have their own reasons why you would want them.

The 405 is a "performance" cruiser.... But it will do 60+mph. Not alot of cruisers can say that.

I mean it has a radar bar for christ's sake (sorry eddie!)

The 06 and 07 models were aLL recalled at the time they were built to update the adhesives that were used in the cuddies. They were all fixed to my understanding.

The drivelines and colors are going to be the only real difference between any of the 405's. After that t is how they were taken care of.

If you like the styling, go for it... In most cases it is ALOT of boat for the money!

You're right, just get a 47 Lighting if you want a performance cruiser it will run over 80 GPS with the ac and gen on. :evilb:

Does a 47 Lightning fall into the cruiser dept?

How fast is a 38 Fountain Express Cruiser? That seems like a fun party boat.

It's drives more like one than our 42 did! :lolhit: He's giving me a hard time because ours has an arch.

I've never been on a 38EC before, I don't have a clue. I checked one out at a slip before looks nice.
