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!

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.
