How much closer are the drives with the staggered engine setup vs. the normal engine setup?

Still debating if I should build up my stock 35 singe-step or go with a new 38. Any idea what the damage is for that 38 with 525's on a trailer?

That is a beautiful boat. I am in love.

He just sent me this one.

Got to climb around in this boat Sat and it's awsome. As beautiful as it is that doesn't hold a candle to the way it sounds. Sounded noticably different from the 500 efi boats. I could't stop grinning for 15 minutes after he fired it up.

Great shots...Nice boat!
I could almost smell the resin.

Ron,
I got a kick out of this post. Can you imagine hadahavit with a dirty bilge.

Mike,

Trust me, in five years that bilge will look just like it does now. This guy keeps his boats SPOTLESS.

Yes folks this guy is about as meticulis as they come. He just sold his last boat a '95 35 Lightning with 500 hours and it looked brand new. In fact he took it to a boat show this spring and listed it for sale and everyone thought it was new. I dont think he has ever used soap to wash the boat! He washes it as soon as it comes out of the water every time.

About the trim caps. I bought the turbosonics for my three pumps and every one still leaks. I followed the directions that came with them to a tee. Now I just keep a can of brake cleaner and a roll of paper towels on board and clean the oil up after every run.

Ron,

Nice pics, thanks for posting them. Was his old boat the 35' Too Old was posting? My trim reservoirs leak too but not from the caps. It's a real pain keeping the bilge clean. I think the plastic to metal fit is the culprit. You can rotate the tanks relative to the pump bodies. When you get bounced around, the oil leaks down the outsides of the hoses and drips right near the inside if the transom.

Thanks,

Mark

No. He sold it locally.
