I own a 2003 38 Open w/Cummin's 6CTA's (450hp). Have done extensive cruising with the boat over the past 9 years and the boat has performed well under most conditions (sea's over 4' get's my wife concerned but the boat handles it well)..... Live on Long Island and have been north to Canada (Montreal), East to Newport, Boston, Gloucester, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, Block, Montauk, etc and south to the Chesapeake many times... Running at 2100 I'm making 24.5 knots with a 27 GPH burn..... Boat is great for my wife and myself..... Haven't found any faults with the boat.......Visibility is good at most speeds...... I modified the helm seat by raising it up 3" to make visibility better when seated. I'm 6' so I would think that would be a modification you may want to consider.
