I love the lines on the ex and would take that $75,000 to bump up the horsepower instead.

Re: Lightning vs. Ex.

Are they both full staggers? Is one faster than the other and what kind of speeds do you get with 525's?

Sweet boat either way. Congratulations on purchases!!

Looks GOOOD! Very clean. A buddy has a 42 that we ran in at last yrs LC poker run. I was shocked at how smooth it was runnning in the rough. A far cry from my 32!

I was looking at a 35 Lightning a week ago. I realy liked the walk around, but it has no non slip on it other than the couple feet at the cockpit. I can see alot of swimmers with that.

Nice EX... :)
