Nice 42X
 

Nice boat but about 100K to high for starters.

Very nice, what is the top speed on a 42 with 850s?

Phil did a 42x (the all blue Lauderdale show boat) and I believe it ran 107 with the 850's and #6's.

That was the boat featured in Powerboat. The boat was advertised one year old for 545K but I don't know if the matching International CXT was included at that price.

I saw the Hideaway boat today in person, looked real clean.

That is sweet...I like the colors too.

The boat and truck are in the sandusky, ohio area now...........

Curious...any 42X's w/1075's?

If so what top end?

look at the 06 1075 39 listed with 50 hours for much less...

"Greek Lightning" had one. I believe 113 or so was the number?

there was an 05 that ran 111-112mph

thats the boat:cool-smiley-027:

There is one in Marco (Cig42x) that I think has 1200 Cobras and is very fast! It has the 188th St commerative paint. Originally had Sterlings but the owner swapped them out for the 1200 Cobras. Very Nice Boat!

The 42 X is the worst performing hull Cigarette has. For whatever reason the 42 has some issues when it comes to efficiency in the water. I heard it first hand from an ex Cigarette employee ( maybe disgruntled)

mph
 

I think that boat runs like 117mph??

If you dig deep enough, you'll find this to be true. But, man O' man, they sure are some badazz lookin Cigs.:D

111 MPH, 117 MPH ... that is efficient enought for me and would have no problem owning one ! ( except for the payment)

Todd, I thought it was the XP that had the issues, not the regular X.

I have know there was issues with the original Twin Step 42 (hard to back up, and tend to lean right to left at speed) but I know the 42x has none of those issues.

I would take the words of a Cig owner who has tried them all instead of an ex-employee that more than likely barely had rides in a few rigs and could not afford one.

Notwithstanding we all know straight hulled TGs and Tigers are the cat's azz!!! :D

This was Wern's boat, super sharp and ran 117 mph in the Sarasota run. It was featured in Powerboat. The other 42x that I think is still for sale in the LOTO area has 850's as well and was like an 04. Probably the most gorgeous red and multicolor 42 that I have ever seen but again he was asking nearly 500 bills for a 4 year old boat. We tied up to him in LOTO and it was gorgeous.

It very well could have been the XP, I really did not get into depth with him about it. He did say that the issue was the steps were not placed correctly as to the center of gravity on the boat. I don't think he was saying it was a bad ride, they just thought efficient wise it came up a little short . But like I said before 117MPH is efficient enough for me !!

thats what i heard as well, the cog was off a bit as they just did a stagger on the first ones and it made the balance funny at wot. the xp came out first then the x.

What about the side by side twin steps ?
What up Rob ?

Hey Jerr, heard nothing bad about them, rumor was they made a stagger out of a side by side boat and the cog was off (42xp) they then corrected it for the 42x. i'll be in ohio in 2 weeks with motor and transom asmb. I lost my cell and all my numbers pm yours again.

440-567-3441 .... I think Kramer owes you a drink doesn't he ?:evilb:

42' side by side
 

There is only one that I know of with #6's and 950hp Sterlings and it runs like 105-106mph. been in it and it runs and rides very good.

I own a ts tiger and with 525 efi, I get a consistent 81 mph and it rides solid with no listing at all. I'm very happy with the 42 line and the only boat I will go to will be a 42x with 700's. I like the extra freeboard compared to the 39 and the extra bow.

Yep, got to see it up close when we were there. Friggin badazz and beautiful boat.

,, yep, I'll be in jersey on sat. then out there on the 2nd. hey I've got 2 sets of 500 efi heads that are for sale 3500 for both pairs, one set is fresh, other has 70 hours..I went aluminum.
