Did you buy Tommy's WarHawk? You really feel the water in that! I wish I could have brought my jet down to GPP last weekend.

Derek, it may come down to the type of boating you want to do. The pad v is going to ride rougher but it is 38'...but damn it sexy. It's got the AT in the looks department

I boat lake Michigan 99% of the time and we all know how that gets so I'm thinking that the ride and cabin are top priority.

Yeah...what he said

One thing about the 388 that was said earlier about the ride being hairy in the 90's. yes it does walk and get squirrely in that speed zone but if you trust it and push the boat about 4mph faster it will straighten right out and fly like an arrow. you just gotta trust it. we ride better at 100-105 then we do at 94 in ours.

Hard to trust it when the manufacturer tells ya the hull wasn't designed and doesn't run well at those speeds. This the reason of the redesign.

No question, the 388 is a sweet boat and was on my list too.

they had the original black thunder 388 running 150+ back in the day...just saying

8 of 10 days your not even going to see 85 on Lake Michigan. Like I said earlier. Ride and cabin are #1
