Nope, I think this board has had enough he said she said BS ! I bought the boat "as is" and alrady planned on changing them. If I wanted a warranty I would have dished out 400k + and Cigarette would have been happy to do so !!! I do hope Marc and Chris can resolve the differences though, I think they are both good guys !

Exactly Or at least with XR drives

Of course you still should upgrade to XR's. Even those will be at there limit with the existing power you have in the boat now

Hey bud, have you thought about the Konrad's vs the xr's for longevity. A few of the Chicago cig guys said they went with them on an older cig and swear by them. Maybe a few thousand more now for 2 less new drives againnnnnn later. Just curious. Hammer

I have, I just am not going to keep the boat that long, maybe for a season. I will address the drive issue when I pick up a Tiger and am going to keep it for awhile. I saw the konrads at the drive shop and they looked nice !!
