2007 vs 2008 35 Lightning
I'm looking for a 2008 35 lightning. Is there any difference between 2007 & 2008? From what I can tell they are identical. Thanks.

I don’t think there is, the only thing I have seen are prop differences. 5,6 or even 7 blade props. Seen an a full staggard 35 running at the toy run, those things are fast, run flat and looked rock solid even with Boat wakes hitting from the side. Pretty impressive for a 525 Boat. |
I think the early '07 builds still had the old cabin interior, without the timber laminate and stuff. I've seen some advertised with the newer cockpit but not the cabin. If you're looking at an ad that says '07 and there's no pics of the cabin, just ask! Nice boat, one of my favorites. RR . |
Depending on when it was made, earlier 07’s had the older style interior, later models had the new. I believe they were both staggered but not positive.

No all 35 staggereds have new cabin and cockpit. Only the 38 and 42 could have new cockpit and old cabin. |

Your right, I had the 2007 38’ yellow one at PBC in my head. |
The 2007 35 has the new cabin and cockpit. props on these boats are all over the board nothing to do with year more owner preference. only a few were built with ITS transom assembly. Hering props seem to be thinner than Mercury so you might see a little more speed out of them but they tend to throw blades more frequently.

2007 was the year that the 35 changed from side by side to a full staggered build, 2008 was/is the same, lots of playing around with X dimensions and props, but that has always been the case at Fountain. Fountain was never one to sit still if they thought something might work better. That and the fact that individual owners play with props to no end. I have three sets of props for my 35, all have plus and minus points, just the way it is.
