looking for 38' or 42' w 700s
 
I'm looking for a 38' or 42' w 700s. There doesn't seem to be much to choose from in the classifieds. Preferably I would like an 07 or newer so it has the new cockpit but not required. Anyone have any leads or know where a good deal might be found?

Call Scott Shogren at 847-336-9037. I'm sure he could find one for you.

GF?

I s/w the Guys at East coast 978-777-1721 they can build a new one for cheaper than any of the leftovers( if you find one) ask for Dan or Rick

eddie 09-23-2010 04:02 PM

The one in the classifieds for $199k seems like a good deal, best price I've seen on a 700 42.

There is an 07 38 leftover at Flight craft with 700s.Actually I thing its a bank repo.I am pretty sure that the new interior started in 08 though.

jmeng 09-23-2010 05:04 PM

Nah, '07 was the first year for full stagger and the new bolsters/dash, etc.

chattviper 09-24-2010 07:53 AM

yep, that's what i was thinking.. already saw that boat. As far as the 2 in the classifieds, i'm just not a fan of red.

And the plans for my 35 are whatever the insurance company wants to do with it. My brother had an accident in it and the boat is practically totalled.

fglightning 09-24-2010 04:58 PM

Sorry about your boat!!!

The salesman said 230-ish but I have a hard time believing that.

m3seth 09-25-2010 11:42 AM

What about this one?

http://www.boattrader.com/listing/20...tning-97401130

Where ever he was in the vid really doesn't matter, thats still a very fast V Bottom pleasure boat.:point:

and except for the race boat, he was the first V-hull. I knew it was a 700 boat, didn't realize the MODS and the impressive speeds the boat ran. (I thought it ran a still impressive 110 or so)

No real point, I'd love to have it! It's just hard to pick out each of the boats in that vid so I noted which one it was. Several of those faster cats made the trip to JOTJ for the first time this year significantly increasing the speeds of the lead boats, to my knowledge the 38 has been to JOTJ since new (and the owner a likely participant for years before)


edit: Hey, it's YOUR boat, isn't it. Regardless, impressive. I'm in a little CC right now and decided if I ever get another go-fast it would be a 120mph boat. To get reliable power I figured that meant a cat......that video just gave me another option to consider when the time comes.

Beak Boater 10-02-2010 05:02 AM

Nope....its not mine. I do have a 38/700 Fountain though. Mine is stock...no upgrades. Thats Rodge Ausleys boat.

I did not try to run upfront this year, couldn't anyway cats were flying, but had water hose issues and was only running 115ish. Later broke down after this video. Roger

Now that you mention it, I do remember seeing you sitting still. Hopefully it wasn't anything major!
We were passengers this year but will be in another go-fast eventually. After seeing that 123 reading of your boat I was very impressive......I've looked in the fountain section a couple times looking for 38/700 boats to see what they are going for!!!


......just four years ago 123 would have been fastest of the fleet.

Roger 10-11-2010 01:50 PM

Split the main hose feeding water to both engines. Tried to tape it up and managed to get to Smithfield station eventually where Brian Forehand from Fountain jumped in and fixed it for me. Thumbs up for the Fountain guys.
