It has 496 HO's with Bravo III drives, owner is a open pocket kid of guy when it comes to repairs. Talked to him last night and boat could be bought for $115,000 or lower depending on what kind of deal is made. I actually rebuilt the steering cylinders last night and will be installing them today so I can take some more pics while I am there.

Saw this and thought of you...

Thanks for the leads guys, much appreciated!
Brian, does the one your service have a trailer, bottom paint?

No trailer and it has bottom paint.

I saw it last week ask them to Email it to you.

Ok, will do Rich. Thanks again.

A quick check on Boat Trader turned up the least expensive 38EC currently listed on that site, a 2005 for $119k (no trailer): http://www.boattrader.com/listing/20...n-38-EC-359317

I didn't think Fountain was still turning out 38EC's (or anything). I was surprised to see an ad for a 2013 38EC listed for $469k and change... (ouch).
I've had my 2004 38EC (500's) for about a year now and enjoy it. It's definitely a unique boat. IMHO, a perfect compromise between comfort and performance. Best of luck with your search.

Lets see a pic.
Where in eastern N.C. are you

They have a 2009 asking 200k.
Too much for me, but thanks for the lead.

Still looking for a 38......if anyone knows of one not listed please let me know.
Thanks,
Mike
