I am not sure on the headroom in the newer guns but on my Cafe' it is not that high. I am 6' and have to hunch over to walk around down there. I imagine the gun is going to be about the same.
Where are you from and maybe someone around you has one you can walk through and see one in person.

I've never measured mine but I agree it's around 5 feet at the entry and gets lower as you go forward. I would say its in the middle of the pack as far as head room. More than a 42 Fountian or 38 Donzi ZR. Less than a 38 Donzi ZX.
If you want head room, most performance boats are going to be on the low side. 38 ZX donzi, Black Thunders, some of the Baja models will give you the most cabin room. Fountain SC will have some room.
I've got the same boat only a 2001 with the 500efis. Boat performs well runs nice at LOTO has a good cruise speed Runs 80 and should be as reliable as any bravo boat can.

Nobody "wants" to tell you the cabin height? Like it's some secret right of passage, that only 5+ year members are privy to....? How did you find out our dark secret??
If someone knew the height of the cabin, they would have posted it for you. That's not a question that gets asked much though, because almost no one buying a Cigarette really cares?
If you're looking for an 8ft tall cabin & a playroom, buy a Black Thunder or a Sea Ray. If you're looking for an offshore powerboat, buy Wild's Top Gun. It's the best deal on the market, and a perfect boat.

Love that boat! A buddy own the "sister boat to that (though his has zuls) Really nice turn key package. It's been for sale for a while most likely due to what Brandon talked about with the 500's and xr's vs. 525's and its. I also agree wilds boat is a great boat at a great price!
Good luck on a purchase. Great time to buy.

I'll be in one on Sunday...I'll measure if for ya. I'm 6'2" and had a TS Gun and found the height not to be an issue at all.
Honestly, you're really down there to get something you need or to get it on with a hotie.... If ya want a cabin boat...the amenities..not sure this is the boat for you...
Kind of like the X5..know it well..... if you want a badass sand ride...thats your machine.. If ya want to cruise the dunes in comfort....less driver involvement you get a Funco.

Not sure of the exact height, but...Unless you're a midget, you aren't standing up when you're down there.
