My 272 would creek when hitting large waves 4 footers. I want to buy a boat that can handle 3 to 4 's with no problem. I did love my 272 it was a great boat for me, but now it's time to move up in size and comfort
Also it's snowing here now about lunch time and were closing for the day so far about 3.5"

The list includes the following;
35 Fountain
38 Fountain
35 Formula
34 Powerquest
33 Outlaw
36 Outlaw
The Fountains just are not for us, the Formula's are VERY nice, the dealer just did not want to work with us. Too much money.
The Powerquest dealer was brand new and wanted to pay for the entire dealership with one sale. He priced me the 34 with 496's, $10,000 more than we bought the 36 for! But it was a nice boat.
The 33 was what we thought we woulf end up with, but having purchased 33 new boats in three years, the dealer did us a favor and talked us into the 36. He brokered our 272 for free, which was an easy sale and priced the 36 right. All in all, we are very happy. My 36 Outlaw is the largest of all the boats I have listed.
If money was not a problem, the 38 Formula would be a nice choice. It has a generator and a nice head with shower. The head on my 36 is a little small.
Good luck.

Picture this:
4 teens
1 honda civic (decently fast for a 4 cyl around 220 hp)
2 inch of snow still falling
1 vacant parking lot
Thats fun. The tires wouldnt catch. Speedo showing 85 and were maybe doing 20. After we get going 60, the full effect of the EBrake takes over!!
I want to move to florida.

Holiday. I called my father (near lake norman) to jack him a little. He has a steep driveway and can't get up. It's tough not being able to get it up when it's cold!
Hyper, Imagine this:
1 almost 40 year old teenager
1 wife
3 small children
1 Expedition (in 2WD mode)
1 large parking lot
