38GT or 39 Unlimited ?

Looking for some input on selecting a new Cigarette. Started with used boats and now looking at new. Not sure what the pros and cons of the 38 vs. the 39. Any input appreciated.

Re: 38GT or 39 Unlimited ?

If you can afford the 39, the real diff is the ability to run staggered. i just bought the 38 gt 2006 with 525s. The 39 with the same motors runs about the same speed, if not a few miles an hour slower. so to spend the extra money, if you're looking at 525s, i feel, is not worth it. if you're looking for bigger power, i.e. 600s or 850s with #6s, then the 39 is probably worth the extra money because of staggering. either way, they are both great boats and look identical--good luck in your search!--Dave
