Thanks, my previous "large" boat was a Cobalt 343 with twin 525's which I sold last season. They are actually pretty similar in size. The 38 has about 2-3 feet in length (Mostly beak... lol) but is about 1.3' narrower in beam.

Haha, sounds good! If you ever make it to TX we should do a poker run!

Sold it because someone made an offer I couldn't refuse... I do miss the boat still. However I would still take the 38' Lightning over the Cobalt.
