What is Darr?

Kind of like a Kraken. An Internet monster of mythic proportions. People automatically assume you are a trolling if you come on here talking about big high dollar boats with a low post count. Don't take it personally.

That 38/700 boat has a beautiful paint job - I crawled all over it prior to picking up our 42. The only 2 things that steered me away from the 38/700 was 1) I really wanted a 42 and 2) the engines are ready for top end work (from what I was told). It is certainly a head turner and presumably wicked fast!

Thats a great boat for leaning to dock and load

Trailering should be no problem either. 23 or 40ft. They load and unload the same way. Some people just aren't good at it. Lol

If you get your wife involved never ever yell at her. Especially around the docks with others around.

the 42 is hands down a better boat than the 38,i know as i own a 38 with big power and often drive my buddy,s 42.a 42 with 1075s is a totally awesome boat.send a pm to offshoreexcursion,he is the most awesome boater in the world and has logged more miles on the water than any man alive!

Rat race, pun intended.

To decide what length you like highly consider where you'll be storing and whether or not they can accommodate the boat. Where I'm located my hands are tied with just a 30.


As far as launching I saw one post about tying 2 line to the boat and letting it leave the trailer under power. I highly advise against it with a boat that you can't physically pull back on the trailer. For whatever reason it won't fire it's now stuck in the water. I've had 2 instances where mine hasn't fired on the trailer for removal once in the water and damn glad I power it off.

You must launch where there is just a ramp and no "docks", like Lake Cumberland. That takes some getting use to vs floating off the trailer, tieing off, then getting on the way
