Not sure if you made your decision yet, just came across this. I have had a '02 PQ for the past 2 seasons (bought new, it sat untitled for a season and a half) and couldn't be happier with the decision. 500 EFI's, xr's, shorties and 5 blades it will run a hair over 80 in calm, 75 all day in the rough stuff. Ride at lake of the ozarks is great, never had a passenger complaint. Finish and power are great, plus cabin and cockpit room are wonderful
Have a neighbor that had a .38 special who recently traded. He never had any major problems, but ALWAYS had small stuff breaking, coming apart, etc. It also, since it was so tall, had a tendency to walk back and forth (side to side) alot over wakes.
Lastly, I am sure there is one lurking out there, but I have NEVER been pasted by a .38 Special.....

What size prop are you running
Cullen
What size is the prop you are running. I have a 99 380 that has a blue printed bottom. I sent it back to the factory in 01 and had the bottom redone. I am running 500 efi's with 4 blade 30" lab finish Bravo's. I can run 82 mph on the GPS with 2 people and 1/4 tank of fuel. I am thinking about going to a 5 blade Maxus prop. Is your lab finished or not and is it 28 or 30 pitch?

perspective on props and speed
OK, I have a 2001 38 with 575sci's and labbed 32" maximus 5 blades. I only get 4900 rpm but can get 84 MPH on the GPS. I tried a set of 30" labbed bravo 4 blades and they spun to the revlimiter at about 30 mph
The 5 blades are great but with HP 500's I would try a 26 std 28 labbed.
