I have been out in both and there is no comparison. You can see which one I bought. I also owned the 31 Fastech prior to this purchase.

The Fastech also topped out in the mid 70's and the TG is mid 80's.

NADA says that an 2002 top gun is $188,000
2002 fastec is 134k
big difference but the TG would have a better qualtiy right?

What year did cig start putting steps in the TG?
Formula was 1997 I belive.

No one ever came up to me and asked "Is that a Formula boat?"

Cig- quality, holds its value, better performance, hotter looks.

Formula is more of a wife & kids offshore.

I love both boats. Pros and cons, as you get with any comparison :D

Cig for performance, helm/cockpit layout, wave crushing capability, legendary reputation (tried tested and true)

Formula for sexy lines, interior layout/liveability, luxury options, "new wave" technology

IMO, either one would make you happy!

Both are great boats. I was a salesman at a dealership that sold both. Both were Factory 2 national champions. Very different ride in big water. Both great but different. The formula has a lot more "wife" features like a pump out head, adjustable footrests, glove box with a mirror inside. The Cigarette is more of the pureist offshore boat. I would take the Cig but my wife likes the Formula...thats why I own a Cigarette.

I have never seen any problems with the quality of either, if you hear about more quality issues with formula it's probably because they build a whole lot more boats than Cig.
