the kids didn't like going out on the 382 and love using a friends little center console. Occasionally I didn't want to go hang-out for the day simply because of the wash/dry routine I insisted on doing after using the boat. For now I'm looking for a little CC the kids and I can use and paying off the house.......but it's all up for debate.

Yep. My 382 is heading to KY also, maybe you'll end up on the same lake next summer!!! The buyers seem like a great couple I'd have loved to hang with on the water. They are coming the weekend of the 20th to pick it up......you guys might make a Formula convoy!!! :)

Thanks for all the congrats. REDWENVY did you buy the 353 from commonwealth? I saw your posts about a trailer. I almost went for that one myself. That was defiantly a good deal to be had as well. Fun ride with the 525"s. I can't wait for spring. My new 382 showed up Feb. 1st and it hasn't gotten above 30 degrees since.

BTW Bondo....I just sold my 382, but my previous boat was also a 312. Huge difference and we loved it. Overnighting became a breeze compared to the 312.

Yep, a CC.....but we have a house on the river and evena 24 is bigger than I want to go. The target is under 20.

500'S
I agree,the 312 was a great boat. I had 496's 375hps and it ran all day loaded with people and gear 68-70 spinning 28 bravos. And still really good on fuel. But the size and weight difference to the 382 doesn't compare, nor the fuel economy I'am sure. We run around Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard and the bigger boat is sure to be an upgrade.
