Had a 38/600 boat, it ran 93 very light load, with Maximus props. 90 any other day of the week. Thats why I bought the 38/700 boat!! You owned a Fountain before, so you know this but it wont hop like a 28 Skater until you get to around 70, Im sure you will miss that!!!

What about the cabin ? Does it stay together when you pound the **** out of the boat in Real Rough water( Atlantic or rough Gulf,not rough lake water).Like I stated before that was my Only dislike of my 10 Meter.

first off the skate is a great boat. the later models 38 will run early to uper 90's depending on setup. and will not let you down handling wise in comparison to the skater, within reason of course. plenty of room in the cockpit and cabin. the 42 is nice also but will run early to mid 90's. handling also good but may leave you yearning for more due to the small power,525's. great for bigger water with the family. either choice will due just fine, but i feel the 38 will be the best all around for a small performance oriented family.
