ts gun vs ts tiger
 

down to three boats witch way to go ???? 575sci power in all three two are guns one is a tiger. what do you guys think. will be running in miami for your knowledge

Re: ts gun vs ts tiger
 

depends on the deal ur getting, obviously for the same money id rather have the larger boat.

Re: ts gun vs ts tiger
 

the difference in price is about 10 grand which does not make it a issue for me. hours are within 20 of each other and a year between the two. is size the only thing i should look at ?

Re: ts gun vs ts tiger
 

they are both great boats, are they all stepped hulls?

Re: ts gun vs ts tiger
 

yes both twin step

Re: ts gun vs ts tiger
 

Bigger is better, except around the dock, or on the trailer.

I've driven a T/S Tiger and run in a few T/S guns....Get the Tiger...Size matters!! :drink:

Pull the hoses off the thermostat cover and check for corrosion. That area is VERY, VERY susceptable to corrosion in that area. A simple inspection there will say volume on how the boat was cared for. Might make your descison easier.

Topguns are usually better for resale.T/S tigers with 575s are a great running boat.It all depends on the individual boat.I assume the prices are pretty close,so I would take the one that has been maintained the best, assuming the graphics are to your liking.Also,in that price range,I think they are getting pretty close in the resale market.We have seen alot of Tigers sold recently.

i also been told that the 3 to 4 mph i will lose with the tiger i will make up with ride and handling quality especially using the boat in south florida waters. what do you guys think ???

Re: ts gun vs ts tiger
 

I think that I would go with the Tiger.

Re: ts gun vs ts tiger
 

I would say the tiger as well, not because I own one, just the stability factor. When I talked with Hugh (hpoffshore) he gave me some great insight into the make up of the two, and where that 4 feet is. gun cockpit is a little bigger, but most wont even notice it. I wanted bigger for the potential big ones that can pop up quickly in the cheasapeake...Rob
