Going to take a lot of power to move this Cig 70 mph.
(I figured that topic line would get you Cig owners lookin')

32fever,
Wait a couple years and buy a twin step Top Gun when they come down in price. It takes a lot less HP to go fast. They are running with the Fountains in F2 class. I wonder if their ride suffers with the steps? Nice looking boats with a huge price tag.
Did you see the post on the 38' Cig for auction?

My wife says we're not buying anything. I saw the one in auction, though, that's one nice boat, and a great price. (I am starting to work on the wife now, though, maybe in a couple more years I'll budge her. Starting high, though

That particular boat is Hawk Power, its said to be 70+. What's great about the Fountain, typically you can buy 42's which are really more like 38's, with triples for less money in equivalant years that are much faster. I like Cigs, But in used, doller for doller, Fountain is a much better buy.

Fever- I have been in that boat's cabin, and you would need a micrometer to see the difference between it and the 42 F. The best part about the Cig is the Cigarette mirror in the V-berth, that's cool. I will say for those boat having the linear measurement they have, none of them have a cabin worth the ****: ie F, Cig, Apache.

32fever,
You need to introduce your wife to "Miss Cig". She will get your wife all psyched up about buying a bigger boat. She seems biased on those 38 Top Guns. Then you let your better half convince YOU, that you need a bigger boat. It’s much easier that way.
