Default 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

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.
