What are your thoughts on a 357 vs 382 flat bottom? I am in the market. I have a 302 kaama that I will keep but want something bigger for the ocean.

Why not go stepped hull.

looking for something I can re power and has Head, AC, and Genset. I like the look of the older boats and want a wave crusher.

The cabin head room is a little better on the 382 vs the 357. The design of the boat changed a lot with the 382 and you get power bolsters and foot rests with the 382 that the 357 does not have. The "trunk" on the back of the 382 is a nice convenience too.

If you go stepped the cabin head room increases a little more with certain years but I don't know the exact years and amounts. Also with the structural grid design of the stepped hull there is more room in the head.


HHHmmm....decisions decisions.

The 382 is an awesome boat. I never met a wake I to slow down for
