Tank, My '97 T/G had 525 sc's. with Bravo drives. It was a 300 hr freshwater 2 owner boat in really good shape. No stress cracks, motors freshened in 2014. I loved it, but I got 65k from some nice local guys. I got all my money back, and no hassle with tire kickers or dead beats. Of course everyone says it was worth more. I think in May it would have brought 75k, but I am satisfied with the deal. The boat came from Wataugua Lake in Tennessee, and was a fill in cause the Tiger was 3 months late getting finished with some maintenance and cosmetic work. It featured original sticker graphics kinda gay pink / purple and black on the sides and deck, with checkered flags and pink gauge bezels and rugs. Sorta Miami Vice vibe. No problem for me, I am secure in my manhood! MSO showed Martin Marine as original dealer.

Thanks for the pics. J-Bonz, garish red drives and tabs have gone to black as God and Carl K. intended! The ultimate goal for me is to master this bad boy. Selling the T/G that I really liked forces me to that end. No mo ' 'scuses!

Thanks for that info Tank. Was that a jab, cause it felt like one. LOL To be honest, the script on the scoops says"Zul 1000+". I have only got about 4 hours seat time in her due to re-hab running late into August.Truth be told, I ran the T/G more because it is more user friendly and the Tiger is very intimidating. I am 64, and depend on one or two or all three of my boys to help launch, recover and navigate the Beast. Also I am 5' 7" and need to stand on a cushion to see where the bow ends! But, I love the look and feel of the Tiger. The mid range jump from 50 - 70 with those 653" motors is insane. Anyone who thinks "what's the big deal, it is only 4' " has no idea the amazing difference between the two boats.
