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!!

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.
