Re: 38 GUN vs 42 TIGER?
The best running 42' in my opinion are the none stepped cover girl 1/2 cabin Tigers. 500HP's and bravo will put you in the mid 70's all day. Much better ride in the rough stuff too.
A non step 38 1998-early2000 are lighter than the earlier T/G's and run well with 500HP's mid 70's with a full cabin. Still handle well in the rough stuff. The T/S boats are a little more unstable due to the steps being so big and forward on the CG. Not as turn and rough water friendly. Just my $.02 |

Re: 38 GUN vs 42 TIGER?
The Tiger was designed for 500HP's and Bravos and a half cabin.
The CG really changes with fuls cabins and #6's and blower motors. Not to say that they aren't good boats but theyare outside the scope of the original design. Things may have changed since they T/S was introduced. I also agree that the T/G is as good a rough water boat as the Tiger, but the extra length does make a differnence. |
