Yep

All movin from that Chithole to Naples Florida and clogging up my roads.

a trailerable boat at a marina? assuming the marina is close enough...the end of a midweek work day...no work, no prep...just unplug and go. Places you want to see...Friday afternoon pull the boat and go. Some work you want to do in the bilge...Sunday don't splash it back at the marina, keep it home for the week and do your tinkering. Yes there are added operating costs involved with this but I might suggest it offers you maximum opportunity to get value out of your toy. The only concern is the beam and over width...or dimensional permits...length could also be a concern.

Just my 2 cents...this what I am doing with my boat.

Tommybanana check out the power plants in this 38 special.. (no pics unfortunately)
The bilge is tiny on that boat, not sure how they got them in...

2000 Baja 38 Special
This is a very nice one owner boat that has dad the best of care. Powered with twin Yanmar 300hp diesels with Bravo 1 outdrives. If your in the market for a great looking performance boat don't miss this rare opportunity.

That thing shows as new, I've seen less room in a NY apt.

Chain O lakes . Great boat racing . Decatur , Fox lake etc.. Lets look at the positives of Chi town . :)

If you like overcrowded , shallow, dirty, mud pits full of no wake zones and seaweed..then yeah i guess.

Tommy, did you circle them yelling "I fu cking told you!!!!"

Went to Shogrens yesterday, Scott gave me lots of good info and spent a good amount of time showing us some boats, I really appreciated that.
Crawled thru 2 38EC`s, 48EC, 47 Fountain.

The cuddy of the 47 is much larger than it seems in pictures, I really liked that boat. 4 bolster set up, red accents, huge sunpad and cockpit etcetc it was a beautiful boat. Way out my price range. Dream boat with some stock power.

The 38EC is our choice. More room then I thought, love being able to stand up straight, amenities, generator, ****ter, separate bedroom, more performance oriented hull , full hydraulic steering, real trim tabs, performance dash and gauges, doesnt seem too big tow... Really liked it.
With a pair of 496 HO`s should be very reliable unit and still hit 60mph no problem.

What did you think of the 48EC? Always liked that boat. Shogren had one listed a while back that needed some TLC, it was broken into if I recall. Is that the one that you were on?

I thought it was very large. Loved the Cummins Diesels and Surface drives. Very bada$$. More boat than I need or want. Great boat to do some long trips on.
The one I was on was getting lots of new stuff, may be the one you are thinking of. New owner is having it refitted then going down the Mississippi all the way to the Gulf I believe.

Thank The the lord for large bodies of water. But the lakes are shrinking too. Lake mead is down like 200 feet . The ocean is rising . Howxabout the great lakes ?? Is that level tising ir falling ?
