seriously....I'd only consider it a "homo seat" if you were a homo and the guy next to you was a homo:eek::drink: Otherwise, I think it's actually an interesting set up (one I'd have no problem running) and the cabin layout is waaaaaay cooler than the standard 39 cabin (imho).
Plus - like I said earlier the cabin layout would be great. |

So whats a good deal[what should i offer] for this vessel or keep looking for bigger powered boat?
525's are a pretty desireable used block so you could probably come out pretty well going to larger power. |

you could always pull the 525's and sell them and repower with something with more grunt, either down the road, or before you sell it to make resale easier.

That boat will blow drives right & left with any engines big enough to make repowering it worth it. An upgrade to 600hp, isn't enough to notice vs the cost involved, and 700+ will make the XR's the weak link. Take the boat for what it is, and don't try to make it something it's not. As it sits, it will be reliable as hell for YEARS to come. If you start repowering it to go faster, mess with the drives, etc, you will gain more headaches than mph. |
Stay with the 525's...
It just seems the guys who have bigger power can't boat weekend after weekend...stock guys are almost always on the water...and boating past the big power guys who are limping in. :) |
if this really goes for $180k then it is gonna put a hurting on earlier 38 TS's resale. NO?:eek:

Besides, how much more $ does it take to build a 39 over a 38 with same options? Extra little bit of glass/resin, one driveshaft, one set of long tailpipes. Thats all I can think of.$10K?? Maybe? I know Cig charged way more but... |
also not sure if i would want the "first" of anything
Just my o2 ct.. and worth every cent.. |
Its a unique boat, runs mid-upper 80s, runs on pump gas, whats not to like for that price!:hitit:

But as it is that boat will run for years if left alone. I for one really like those 39's. |
