Their new product is meant more for fishing and is 37' long with a 10'6" beam. Wider beam for less roll during slow speed work.
As noted elsewhere on this board, Midnight also now owns the Powerplay 33' and 38' molds. I've never owned a Powerplay, so I don't know their beams. Good luck with your shopping!

Clay - what are you doing in that pic - trying to hide your wood??
As far as a boat - the 38 donzi is good, but they also made a 33 ZX.
9'2" Beam (pretty sure). I've been drooling over them since about '98 - nice cabin amenities also. They also posted good speed numbers - stock, low 80's. The Daytona version had (has??) stand-off boxes, and boasted 90's.
Honestly, never rode in one - but, a very nice boat.

LOA - 30 feet (or longer)
Beam - 9 to 11 feet
Thanks!
