When did the Unlimited come out? What is the main difference?? Other than 1 foot bigger?? Is the GT the original step hull boat??

the main big difference is that 39 is a staggered boat.....the 39 has the same size cockpit as 38 topgun but with a staggered engine room...it came out begining of last year

Screw IT

Here are 3 Cigs running in the Connecticut Poker Run.

Its hard to tell the difference but the 39 Unlimited had tne new 700 HP w/NXT drive package. Very Nice and FAST. We ran from Long Island to Block Island a good 25 miles in 4 - 6 swells and some added chop on top. The 39 Unlimited was a factory boat run by Neill. They were 2nd or 3rd to the dock!

Was the 39 designed to compete with the Nortech?? They are all staggered set up also.

thedonz

not the GT that is not staggered

BLee

Enough Cigarette customers expressed an interest in having a sub 40ft model available with staggered engines, much like the classic staggered 38's. They built the 39 Unlimited to meet that demand.

They updated the 38 and named it the GT. Like Mike said, it's a side by side configuration as opposed to staggered like the 39.

So what are the performance #'s, with lets say stock 525's in both... Is the best drive package the Merc, ITS??? Whats the real pros and cons??

I hope it looks better in person.

thedonz

speed wise they're both about the same mid to upper 80's but with the staggered setup it rides a lot better in the rough and rides a lot more level in both conditions
