Get this - I just went to Home Depot and bought 1 bag of fertilizer - You know, the Scotts stuff to keep the crab grass from comming up. I paid $46.04 for the stuff - what the F _ _ _ !!! But hey - there really not sure about weather or not this is a recession. Neither of the 3 idiots running for office is talking about the $105 a barrel oil prices - they are all brain dead. And hilary and Obama want to raise my taxes to pay for someone elses health care!!! Again - What the F _ _ _ !!!

I am getting a bid board with my 06 35L. Same old haul ass ,great handling, good looks and reliabilty. In other words I love the boat but she is truly one dementional. Regarding the 38EC, In 2006 they removed the wall seperating the v-birth from the cabin and it greatly increased the room/space. The
later model 38EC perfroms better than their older siblings. Myself, as stated love my 35L but I am tired of sunstroke in July - Sept down here in Tejas. would like a little more comfort but still want some performance. The 496s in my opinion are a beter combo than the 525. Not to metnion less costly to insure. about 2500 a year agreed upon value at 250K including windstrom. I am looking at a new 08 but I will proably wait and see how the economy shakes out, not to mention the price of motion lotion, in the hopes of striking a better deal. However, if you speak with the boat sales folks they closing more deals than they can handle>> yea right.

I talked to the guy I know, he said they are still on the fence, the wife and daughter are making some noise about not wanting to get rid of it. He also said that the $4K the marina will want for the seasons high and dry might be a determining factor too, so I don't know what the deal is yet.
He did mention something about high 60's though, so he's in a reasonable range for a 95 at least.

a 38 Donzi and a 38 Powerquest both have very big cabins, so does a 40 Hustler Fiore........the PQs especially can be had for a great price.......IMO if you cant get it done in one of those you should kick your old lady out or forget "performance" boating and buy a cottage.......IMO
.....we hang with some cruiser guys and this one couple has this 38' Sea Ray and his wife goes on about how "how am I supposed to put my whole house in this little space!!!".......one time my wife said to her "Debbie, you should try seeing how much you can leave at home instead of seeing how much you can bring with you"
has anybody ever been in a step 38 Scarab....????
