Squadron vs. TG
What's the difference between an early 80's 39' Squadron XII and a standard TG. And how come there are virtually no Squadron's around?

I know of three 39' Squadron's.....

Ive ridden in the "Dry Martini" Squadron......seemed heavy, but gave a solid dry ride. Personally, I cant see a difference, but the Squadron is 1ft longer, and has a pretty big engine compartment. What Top Gun are you comparing it to? An 80's top gun or newer model, like a T/S?

Comparing it too the 86-90 TG. Seems to be the closest comparison. Big engine compartment is nice! Just wanting to know if it's Cigarette quality honestly.

squadron will be heavier, and has a different strake setup.
Very few were made, as the Cig contract w/ don was just for a short time.
IIRC, don was only able to make 12 boats a year under it.
There are a bunch of threads here about the Squadron XII's.

Not an expert on the topic, but just looking at the pics appears the engine bay is much longer and the cabin deck much shorter on the squadron.
