Gun vs. Tiger
#28
No doubt about it...#6 straight bottomed Tigers with big power are the sh!t!! I don't think anyone can argue that.
Here's a couple I've spent a LOT of time on.
But I don't think anyone can argue the up-side to a T/S blue motor Gun either.
The question itself is just to vague. Even if you're talking 90's straight Gun vs. Tiger, it's not just a simple answer.
First of all, like Mike said, the cabins in the 90's Guns/Cafes were the best Cigarette ever built, very user friendly. Tigers with 6s and big power take sepreme. If your marina doesn't offer it, you're screwed. I have a friend that owned a straight tiger (pictured) and sold it to buy a blue motor T/S 38 due to easier towing, fuel, hydra-hoist, etc.
We boat out here in the Pacific where it gets BIG. He hasn't complained about the ride in the newer T/S 38. Matter of fact, it ride true to its form...NICE...But then again, it's a cigarette, what do you expect?
Now if you're talking a brand new T/S 38 compared to a brand new 42X with 700's and NXT's...I think I'd take the 42X just for the "Bad mo-fo" factor you get with Tigers !!And yea, I know they're called 42X...I still call them Tigers!!!
that's my .02

The Gun to Tiger isn't a apples to apples comparison. I think a straight bottom Tiger to a 41 Apache would be a closer comparison.
Has anyone ever dared to compair the two? I'm sure that would be interesting.
