if you havent been up to the river ever, i suggest you try it its awesome. Probably more economical to tow though.

If you got time ABAY is having pirates weekend and a HUGE raft up in lake of the isles last year probably 300 boats. Boats, beer, booze, babes, you get the idea

I havent tried sandy pond this year, i figured with the water so low, it probably wasnt worth it

the biggest one you can get. period. I think you need at least a 1 ton for a 42 or bigger

yeah a 42ft boat I wouldnt be towing in anything less than a DRW 350 or 450.

Bigger isnt always better as far as what are you using it for and your pocket book. :lolhit:

If you like red...shoot me a pm. ;) My wife won't let me put the boat for sale until the end of this month (she is emotionally attached, lol). But, for sale it will be...in two weeks. Shhhh until then!

Both great boats, Flip a coin and enjoy whichever it lands.

The 35 for sale in pasadena md I have seen in person, great boat, great price.

My first boat was a 25 Convincer, sold it, bought a 24 Fountain, hated it. Then bought a 95 twin 502 29, still have it and love it. I later bought a second Fountain, a 32 put light hatch and built the engines using aluminum heads, no problems with sitting low in the water due to less rear weight, traded it for a 35 with 525s, liked it OK but sold it and finished with a 38 with 700s staggered. No comparison, bigger is better. If you can tow the 38 buy it or 35 buy it. Its like buying a HD Sportster and then you go to a Glide, then Fatboy, then Electroglide, IT NEVER STOPS. LOL

I just sold my 32 and can't say enough good things about it. I loved the way it looked in the water. Fast, great boat. I just bought 2004 35 executioner and I can tell the difference. Cabin is taller, a little bigger but you gain a lot in sun pad(engine comp.) and behind bolsters. Feels a lot bigger in water. Both great boats.

I vote for the 35. Great boat
