Default Cig Tiger question?

I love this boat, 2000Tiger with 500efi's, but I was looking at the trailer and couldn't figure out how it didn't have a bow stop. Has anyone had any experience with a setup like this before??
Perfromance wiseI am assuming that this would be a low 70's boat. How would this setup do with a set of Stellings boxes installed?

Saw a new 42 Lightning and he removed his bow stop Myco, and had 2 tie-down straps to keep going forward.

my trailer did not have a bow stop when i first got the boat. it sucked at first but got used to it real fast. i put the bow stop on the following year and have not looked back since.

Just put a bow stop on.

Don't be a cerebral midget like Stecz and take a year to figure out you need one.

Nice rig... Nothing like a straight bottom Cigarette 42 Tiger.

that thought had crossed my mine at least once already

I have a set of stellings boxes that I would think about running on a setup like this, but I don't know how the tigers react to boxes?

500efi's, + whipples=about 650hp +/- per side, I think that would make it run neck and neck with GL's rig, don't ya think.

For the 500 EFI i would have to go Vortech, i have seen a lot of really impressive things with that setup. Nice boat, it would be a nice addition to Texoma.

I was thinking that would look good anchored out at the islands all summer long.

With 900 HP, you might want to buy a few extra drives to keep in the garage!!!
