What about 700s in both boats?
The new 38's are running 94-96 with 525's! I think the 42's are still around the 85 mark under good conditions.

Cant tell you about the 42, Can tell you first hand about the
38/700's number 6's. It runs 6 blade Herrings. The best the boat ran light, was 114.3 mph. Loaded like in the Richmond Poker run, 200 Gallons of gas, temp in the 90's high humidity, 5 people in boat. 110.8

I prefer the Lefties myself.

Im left handed too and like that my strong side is on the throttles. Once you run a couple of times you'll wont even notice a difference.

I have a 42' Lightning with 700s with SSMIV and 6-blade Herings that runs 106.5MPH with a light load and 104 with fuel and passengers. I am also left handed and I had no problem getting used to the throttles. The 38' is a bit faster but in rough water I prefer a 42.

Beak Boater's combo is flat out awesome! If I were looking at getting into another performance boat, the 38 with 700's would be it.
