we ran back from sandusky to cleveland last weekend in 3-4's with no problem.. it was the occasional 7 footer that was a b!tch . but for what the boat is its a incredible ride. similar boats would be a saber or brave. all are kinda hard to find tho. not to many for sale. alot are sold before they are listed in classys

what do you think

I would not want to be handling a 38ft boat by my self. Im not a pro but pretty good but would not want to be in anything bigger than what I have by myself.

The only time I don't mind someone's help is putting the boat on the trailer. Our ramp is steep and the ass of the boat tends to try and float away from the trailer. Other than that everyone else seems to drink my beer and get in my way (other than my lovely wife, of course).

I obviously am not an expert boat handler, but with practice it's very possible, I know a couple guys who operate 48 ft. Sea Ray bridge boats, alone. They do a beautiful job getting in the dock, and they tie it up themselves, everything. With practice I am sure I could do it, I would probably wait until I have help and practice for about an hour or more.

How about a cigarette bullet? Heavy as hell for a 31, about 9,500 lbs. A bullet will crush 3-4 footers with no problem. Should be in your price range as well. Only downside is they take a lot of power to go fast.

Made from 88-93 I believe. Only 68 made. You won't find another boat in this size that can handle the water a bullet can. I boat on lake mi and I love the ride quality. 502's should get you to 66-68mph
