Attention all Cig guys. Need your final opinion. Do I sell the Tiger and get a 36 Nor-tech cat? Post quickly.

Thanks,

Only if you get a bigger cat than a 36...what kind of water do you run in?

I run in Gulf and the West Coast of Florida. Usually flat shallow waters in the Gulf. But can get nasty. I just don't go out in that stuff.

Here is my useless $.02:

I looked at a 3600 Super-Cat up close last weekend. It's very nice without a doubt. The boat has great looking lines. However, I thought the cabin entrance was a little weird and the dash set-up was funky. I also think when you buy a big cat like this Bravos don't cut it. 525EFI are great but I truly think the #6 Speedmasters need to be put on a boat this size. Plus, you can upgrade the power without upgrading the drives.

The most important question is, do you need a cabin? If you do, without a doubt go with the Nor-Tech. Also, they seem to do a lot of the Poker Runs in South Florida so that is a bonus if you ever have a problem. If you don't use a cabin, I would probably look at a little older Skater for the same money.

We use a cat while up in N.J. If we were able to make the cat work down here we would without a doubt have one. People say they aren't great in rough water, but we have been out in some nasty water (5-6s) and the boat handled great. We don't use a cabin so we would probably go with the Skater. The ride in a cat is unbelievable and the speeds you can obtain are unmatched by V-bottoms. Unless, you have a 47 GTX with 1300 Sterlings

I would say, sell the Cig. If you need a cabin go with the Nor-Tech, if you don't go with the Skater.

Can't you get a bigger cat?

Other choice is a 2000 40 Skater. Both are mucho dinero!

Byrdman

The 40 skater...you need the size for the safety reasons..plus what jr said.

Kick ass ride both of them.

addiction earlier you said that for the boating you do a Cat would be enough... I think you have to figure out what you really do with your rig.

I know if I did not have a wife and 1-3/4 kids that I take out every WE I would be in a Nor-Tech as soon as you can say it.

Down the line however my way to a Nor-tech is to keep honey happy and that will require a big ride (more than likely Sunseeker Superhawk) if I change the Tiger. Once she has that then I can work on a Nor-tech.

Like I said earlier figure what you want to do for boating and choose the ride. That Tiger looks like a million bucks dude.

a nor-tech 3600 will handle water rough enough that you don't want to be in it in the first place... i agree w/ LS JR, get the 6's or arneson's no matter what the power and enjoy, there is enough cabin there to get out of a storm or to take care of business... the only downside to a cat is insurance, and if you are looking at rides like this, that really doesn't matter either... have fun....
