Default lookin for new boat

Ok i started a thread about raylar kits on my 29 outlaw and just decided to try and by a new boat. Im very torn I would like a fountain because i currently own a 32 cc and i love the ride but im afraid that the cabin wont be roomy enough im looking at a 2000 38 lightning with 500 hps for 90,000 I want a boat that can run in the 80's or at least 80 and I can modify easily. I like the look of the fountain but im affraid I could get more cabin out of a Donzi or Formula with same speed results. I cant look at a 38 up close and i dont think the pics to the cabin justice. any help would be appreciated whats a better boat for me

Thanks guys and to all that responded to my Raylar thread

What are you looking to use the cabin for? Unless you are a midget it is not good for much.

The Baja cabin in my 29 has more room than my cig. Now if you really want some room step up to a Black Thunder. The wife will love you.

My partner has a 32 with 500's and I have seen a best of 82 to 83. I don't think a 38 will get you there with that power.

Don't know where you are boating at but you might look at the 38 powerquest avenger. Lots of boat for the $$$$$$$ with a very nice cabin. 70+ to 80+ with the right stock power.
