My advice is to go to a dealer have him take you out in both boats and then decide for yourself. I've ridden in both and didn't care for the cockpit layout of the lightning, or for the way it handled. But then there are others on this board feel the exact opposite. That's why you shoud climb into both and try them out before you buy.

And if you have any thoughts at all about doing a bigger boat then try one of those too.

there is a 2005 brand new 35 at jand j in sandusky it is all laid out with 525's custom paint/dash /interior to much to list was in the cleavland boat show somewhere in the mid 130's will take it very eager to sell

That is a smoking good deal.

boat is a must see anybody looking for a new boat it is a killer boat.best of everything.wish i had 1 more zero in my check book would upgrade in a min.but i dont want a payment.
