Ok let me comment on T/S Tigers in general. They are great looking boats. The boat rides real nice in chop or big water. I did however put a 1" spacer in as the X dimension was to high and caused the boat to cavitate the props and not carry the nose. This was a huge improvement in the boat. The cockpits are smaller then guns so if you are carry 5 dudes around every weekend it might be the wrong boat. Tigers handle excellent until you break 95 mph then you must drive the boat as it starts to chine walk a bit. I was told from Bud at Cigarette that the first T/S had a step that was to large. This why the 42X has that relief step. I personally have grown to like the Tiger better then the TG.I purchased my Tiger 4 years ago for $120k with a fresh XR drive. Since then I had Zul redo and bump up the motors with new heads and intakes, cranks etc, added IMCO SCX's new steering to match up to drives, new exhaust repainted dash panels, added new gauge bezels, added a custom rug to match the paint, had the paint touched up to like new, had a new cockpit cover made, added 2 new HP transom assemblies and I am sure a whole more that I can't think of right now. So to those that want to pick a bargain boat what do you think all that costs? Now for those that want to get an older boat I sold all my old parts and made back a couple of bucks (more then I would have thought) Now I have boat that shows almost new and runs like a raped ape. All in I am guessing I am around $165k plus. I know my boat is not worth that much and I sure as hell would not sell it for $100k. It can not be replaced for $140k.

I've been contemplating a business opportunity here to some how lease big power and SCX's/ASD7m packages to guys with bravo boats. Hold the stock power and bravos, and reinstall them once the lease term is up or the owner is ready to sell.

I also have to say taste is very subjective but I think many times paint can make or break a sale. Just my .02 here are a few pics of my rig, that Adam 302Sport thinks [ATTACH=CONFIG]516947[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]516948[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]516949[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]516950[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]516951[/ATTACH] I can get $80k for

Neither od these boats are Merc power so according to your thought process they should both be under $100k right? By the way I like the first boat I think it is a pretty sweet ride for the dough.
