It actually isn't that it's a ton of weight but it's weight right in the nose of the boat. When I picked mine up from Lip-Ship I asked Phil about converting it to an extended cover girl. He said it would completely throw the balance of the boat off. Most older TG's tend to porpoise in the mid-range speeds. I can actually trim the drives to 3 or 4 (tabs up) while cruising and my boat will hold the nose up and won't porpoise a bit. As far as storage, the forward bulkhead unzips and I can store all non-essential things (bumpers, extra life jackets etc) in the front. Plus, a full cabin without genset and A/C in south Louisiana = useless.

Correct. Sold new by Ocean Perofrmance to a gentleman in MA. It's currently for sale as by the way.

And weird paint. Have seen it a few times on the Cape.
Sounds great, looks clean, but just *something* about these graphics...

And at $229K for a special order '02 straight bottom?

Extended cover girl cabin

didn't the 02 with the american falg graphics and 3A's have the full cabin?

No sir. Mat Raymond owned that boat for awhile.

I wont argue with the master ....I just could've sworn I saw a full cabined stepped boat...I remember thinking...THAT's the boat I'd want because I love the full cabins.

Right On LS jr. thats what I thought, Good Call

Baron,

Who did your cooler cover and table top? I think I really like that....
