Fandango - That is a sweet setup.

I like the full cabin for the sleeping purposes. I never actually use the head, it's not even hooked up right now. As Phil said to me once (When he mentioned buying a Gladiator, my response was, want a full cabin) "All you guys from the Great Lakes want full cabins" It's also not 1000deg here like it is in Florida. Most guys up here with Top Guns overnight on their boats at the bars / islands.

ZX - AT is an excellent choice, very laid out and big headroom. I never liked the raised deck look, but it has grown on me with all the advantages, and they are fast capable boats. Other option is an Outerlimits, which would be my next boat if I could afford it.

although it would be nice to own a TS, we love the cabin on our flat bottom boat. Let's face it, the two opposing couches on the TS is useless.

Anyone ever build a T/S with bigger power, boxes, and big drives like 6s, and then a full cabin? What were the results?

Funny you mention that...when we talk about what we would do with lotto winnings it's always build a custom ts top gun with mid 90's cabin!!! Best of both worlds

There is the Rough Rider with T/S and full cabin. It is my ULTIMATE Cig - owner BSZHBA on here owns it.

There was the one or two Guns with the 80's microwave lettering on the side that has the cabin door on the left and the full head down below, but I'm not sure if the front was finished, and I'm not sure either were 6's....

Phil did a few boats like that for people. It's a sweet set up.

Tank , any AT years to stay away from? Active Thunder looks like a good choice, very simaler to A TG..
I'm no expert on AT's so I'm not sure if there is. None that I've ever heard of though.

I can answer most AT questions if you can't get a hold of Pat (ActiveThunder), here on OSO.

Agree 100% . Only reason I bought my Cig is because the we can sleep 5 comfortably. It`s like 2 queen sized beds and the V birth doesn`t come to a point where you`re bumping your heads, only performance boat I`ve seen where it`s squared off with storage up front.

Tinted the hatches, dark as a cave, turn the ac to 67*, I sleep like a baby.
