Cabin size
 
Hi all. Can you stand up in the cabins of boats like a 38 special? I've never seen a boat like that in person. Or boats of the size that you all have. Question is mostly curiosity.

Thank you
Mark

They look really cool. My goal is to have something like that someday. Already started saving my $$$$$. Might not get there. But ya gotta have dreams.

Thats a very very nice boat!!! Any chance you could post pics? If a boat like the ones you all have showed up in my area. Traffic would stop. It would take u 3 hours to launch it because of the questions and attention it would get.

Thank you

i had a 38 Donzi ZX and yeah you could stand up no prob, plenty of head room. My 38 Scarab however . . . . not so much but still plenty of room and way more comfortable to overnight in.

The better question is how tall are you?

I just bought a 380 Powerquest and it has about the most cabin room I have seen in a 38 footer. Friend just bought a 382 Formula and for how close in size the boats are with them sitting side by side on the trailers, my Powerquest is vastly larger and deeper inside. I have 5'10" headroom so me being 6'2" tall, I can't quite stand up but can move around extremely freely. Far more freely than I can in the Formula.

Only TRUE stand up powerboat is a Black Thunder. That is my dream boat and will be the only thing I sell my PQ for.

What are your speed goals? You may want to look at a Fountain 38' Express Cruiser as well.

There are plenty of performance boats like thone near Syracuse. In fact there is a Poker Run next weekend at nearby Seneca Lake.

The Sonic 358 and 386 are 6' in head room, that said I am 5'7" so I fit with ease.
