To answer your question, I was thinking of a 42 with 700's or 850's. Maybe even a Poker Run. Even considered a Skatter too - you know outboards, cheaper to run blah blah. But I have to consider that, interest rates have gone up for boats and insurance rates are higher for a new boats. Further the cost of a new boat the way I would want it comes close to 400k or more.
If I could trade my boat in, get a fair price, still get a good deal on the new one, fairies fly and Santa Claus is real..... You get the point. So we'll see. My boat rocks and I don't want to give it away. I am going to be patient...

A 38' Fountain is a superb boat in the right conditions.
