Hell, if we are living vicariously then this is what I'd think I should get.

I have never actually weighed the complete set up. I also NEVER stop at any weigh stations when traveling. We have not been stopped, hasseled or even looked at by DOT.
That being said, my best guess is the truck (Kodiak) with fuel is around 12000 lbs, and the boat w/ fuel and coolers etc.is 13000 lbs translating to about 25000 lbs w/people etc.
Generaly when we are "traveling", I pull the boat with as low of fuel as possible and fill it up before we splash it. There is definaetly a difference in pulling "feel" when it is full of fuel. If I remember correctly it's 8lbs/gallon for gas, multiplied by 300 gallons, this adds a substantial amount of weight. (2400 LBS)
What is your reason for asking, what spacifically are you looking to answer?
Most people I have seen hauling the bigger boats just use a 3500 duelly to pull them. But I like my Kodiak!

Gasoline is 6 pounds per gallon and oil is 6.5 pounds per gallon

It is still roughly 27% right. Take that same percentage by any price point that that person is looking at and yes... It is a big difference.
I have an 07 40, I would have loved to have an 07 CIG, but my 27% +/- is a whole lot bigger number... Get my point.
Besides, Insurance is also a difference between a Cig and a Baja. 30% more when I was checking around last time I was looking. You also have a smaller number of companies that will write the Cig.
Last but not least, Baja is a good boat, If you have issues there, thats a different reason all together and you are most likely NOT looking at the Baja anyway... My suggestion is untill you have taken a ride in a 40OL, dont judge, because you will be impressed!
But hey, I wouldn't mind the CIG either...

Jason---I could not make that decision(new used boat). I dont know the money being spent but I know boats are all at a deal right now. I love Baja but for speed I would maybe looking at somtihng else.
