One of the best parts of owning a cruiser is having it at the dock ready for you to enjoy! Your family can enjoy it at the dock and have it ready for you when you get home from work. Trailering a cruiser defeats so many of the benefits including a wider beam, 12-14 is a must, etc.
So many powerboaters think that the SS formula is the answer when getting out of a go fast and moving to a cruiser, well it's not. Nice boats but they are not good at being a cruiser and not going to impress you in the performance department after having that badazz flatdeck.
Outdrive suck
Not enough room
Not fast enough for a thrill
Etc.
The only Formula I personally like is the 40PC and the 48 sport yacht

LOL, I pretty much disagree with everything you just said.
Coming from 47 Lightning to a 400SS and I couldn't be happier.
My boat doesn't sit in the water and I have the option to go anywhere I want when ever I want.
We all have different boating desires.

I`d get a slip but I still want to:
1. not take 2 hours to go 40 miles
2. be able to bring it home for winter storage and maintenance/repair
3. Be able to tow it to a new destination couple times a year
I like the idea of Diesels and shaft drive , not ready to go that slow yet.

I`m leaning towards a Diesel now.
There`s a Fountain with Arnesons in Canada that I`d like to find out what shape it`s in... I need to make some new Canadian friends first thou
Thanx for the the heads up pretty sure my wife showed me that one , it`s a little out of my price range

i take that back, seems to be on their website now. I just bought a 38 ec and I love it. The way that I look at it is; I maybe 20 minutes behind all my buddies, but I can have the blender cranking out drinks, AC running, and 9 people that clam to be my friends!!

I'm sure Alex would check it out for Dan, but its a couple thousand miles away from where his shop is. Sucks, because I think he's well versed in diesels, and not just gas marine engines.

They offered the 400 SS with Volvo Penta diesels. Not sure I've seen them in a 370. You are still dealing with outdrives with that setup. Jim Onken (Don's brother) had one at LOTO for a couple years.
