Re: ts gun vs ts tiger

the difference in price is about 10 grand which does not make it a issue for me. hours are within 20 of each other and a year between the two. is size the only thing i should look at ?

Bigger is better, except around the dock, or on the trailer.

Re: ts gun vs ts tiger

Pull the hoses off the thermostat cover and check for corrosion. That area is VERY, VERY susceptable to corrosion in that area. A simple inspection there will say volume on how the boat was cared for. Might make your descison easier.

Re: ts gun vs ts tiger

Topguns are usually better for resale.T/S tigers with 575s are a great running boat.It all depends on the individual boat.I assume the prices are pretty close,so I would take the one that has been maintained the best, assuming the graphics are to your liking.Also,in that price range,I think they are getting pretty close in the resale market.We have seen alot of Tigers sold recently.
