I have been thinking of buying 38 Lightning.I have small kids and would like to overnight some times in the boat with my family.The cabin is not very roomy and there is not much room for things or food,no normal refrigerator etc.So is there any real possibilities for this kind of boating with family or am I determined to buy some dull cruiser?
37 Active Thunder 1st choice Black Thunder next. Both have the cabin and good freeboard for safty for the kids.

Where are you located? I have someone here locally that will be selling their 1995 as soon as the weather breaks (soon).

I can put you in contact with them, it is high and dry stored, they are supposedly going to fix a small laundry list of things before attempting to market it.

Nice looking boat though, 500EFI's if I'm not mistaken.
PJ, have any pics? How many hours on the 500's. I'm up in Baltimore.

I don't have any pics. I know they had new (more modern) Fountain graphics put on it a few years ago, then left the boat winterized over an entire season. They had it out with us about 4 times this past summer, I'm not sure of the hours on the motors, I can find this out for you.

Boat is located at Triton Marina, Elkton, MD.

About the boat an acquaintance of mine has, not trying to scare you away, but from what I remember, it had 800 or so hours on it when he bought it back in 2002 or so. I know they blew one of the motors, had them both redone with Arizona speed kits (?) It was only used 5 times this year, plus the wife is in the Real Estate industry, so they are trying to cut some overhead here soon.

Pj I am interested in that boat also, if you could get more info.
Treads will have first dibs on it. I looked at the sc at Boat boys in Ohio not bad but when I looked at it in the beginning of winter they where asking $89k not worth it trailer rusty. It is a repo and they would not entertain offers less. There getting closer, Shogrens just sold a real nice one for $49k.
