I have been debating back and forth on the 38 special or the 342...Has anybody got the 342 and wished they had went for the 38? I tow from West Louisiana to Destin once a year and have a hard time getting over the whole size difference behind the truck. I know which one I would prefer once anchored out with the wife and two kids.

I owned a 38 Special,,,,for 2 weeks,,,,drive one first to make sure you like it.
I was looking for a " sportier " feel.
Lots of room thought and all the amenities are nice
Had no problem towing it around, but Im used to towing 40+ footers around
My 36 Outlaw is actually a touch longer then the 38 was,,,,,,go figure

38 special is 1300# heavier (9600 compared to 8300). Heavier trailer. Add genset, more fuel, storage; fresh, gray....you see where this is going.

The 38 is a whole lotta boat.
The 342 is a lady in the street and a freak in the bedroom kinda thing. Will do 71-72 with HO's if its not loaded down with fuel. Has a good ride and a lot of amenities. I can tell you that the "U" shaped seating in either boat is great for entertaining, comfort and lounging around.
