In 2005 I looked at a 38ZR with 525's in it with the ZR race drives for someone else for P1, and they were cheap then - huge engine compartment big enough to stagger the engines I think, the leisure version probably has a bigger cockpit. From what little I know they appear to have a good reputation and well built for an American boat - some of them aren't built for British waters!
I would consider one, and with the number of lakes in the US you may even find a fresh water example dry stored, which would mean it would be mechanically even better than a salt water used equivalent.
Can I have a ride if you get one?
