Looking for some input and opinions on older 38' +/- boats. Thinking about moving up and doing some shopping. Build quality and ride in the rough are top priorities. Right now looking at Cig 38 Flatdecks and straight bottom Top Guns, maybe a 36 Apache, 38 Larry Smith Scarab. Anything else that should be on the radar or any opinions on any of the above vs each other? Most of the late model stuff is more than I want to spend.

Everyone who gets in my 28 apache says it rides like a 35 foot boat, so there's my input

I also own a 28 that rides like a 30+, want to make sure if I do go bigger I am not disappointed.

The only other thing is a 36 apache you may not need a dually, a 41 you need one. Just something else to think about. Find one out there and go for a ride , I think there are a few in your general area for sale.

My 36 has a bow tank 110 gallons . Load it up when lake mich gets rough helps a lot. Super heavy boat good ride.
