BBYSTWY , I run a 1995 Cig flat deck with 605 cu with naturally aspirated motors that put out approx 725 horses . It has number 5 drives and will run 76mph . With a bit of tweaking it shd hit eighty . I have had Formula's and big Scarab's this bost is by far the most fun . I will agree it is all about the cruise and not the top speed . If you find a solid older cig with decent power and SSM drives and don't beat on it you will find that they will give you a lot of years pleasure with minimal grief . Other than routine maintenance i really haven't spent a lot of dough on it in the past 3/4 years .There was a thread on here a few years back discussing the pros and cons of stepped and non stepped hulls and I think the science proved that stepped hulls were only about 10 % faster on flat water and no real advantage in big water . The other big contributing factor was reduced weight due to improved construction methods . ( but lighter boats don't crush waves like big old resin buckets did think 41 Apache) What got lost in this discussion is that although the newer stepped hulls are more efficient and may cost less to operate is it worth playing 100k more and how much better off will you be in the long run . It is an interesting discussion though I always seem to learn new things here all the time . Cheers RG.

hahaha I guess that's true....so hypothetically if a boats listed for say 165k...what's a good starting point...100? 110? assuming its as the one listed before 01 T/S with wore out 500's or 525's?? Just trying to gain some knowledge in that area as well if something were to pop up..don't want to insult anyone but at the end of the day a boat that needs a lot of work should go for a lot cheaper than that I would think?

No I get that...and like I said I would never throw out a crazy low offer like I was talking about earlier in the thread...it was just an example of where do you start on something like this...that's why I'm not good at negotiating because I see a price and I'm like well it's probably not worth all that and I never even call to talk about it haha...trust me I would never try insulting someone that has something I want!!
Thanks for the info!! some good info to think about

If you’re looking for something with a decent cabin, want to run good speeds and don’t want monster power, I would look at these, all stepped, efficient, and fuel injected with merc power:

Was looking at both tigers and the OL...the OL is in Canada so I think that's out right away...seems like a headache to get one across the border and I would have to get on a tiger and make sure the cockpit and layout are useable for me...never even seen one much less been on one lol
