Depends on what your looking to do with the boat and how fast you want to go. If you dont boat in huge water and want to run under 90 than its the boat for you!!

The 388 is a hanful over 90. The only way to fix it is to shorten the strakes from the last step back to the transom. This can only be done on later ones I think 2004 and newer. The bottom was designed to run fast with stock 500's hence alot of stern lift. That 37OL hull is good to 115mph. Do you need a cabin?

Wow that slingshot is beat down! almost bought that boat and it was mint! Customryder owned that boat and it had stock 525 mercs. Traded in for a Donzi ZR
Then the boat went to Trick marine which explains the pumpkin orange trim tabs and shifters.

Any chance you'd be interested in a 2004 344 Cheetah? If so I may have just what you are looking for. Let me know
