I think set up equally it would be a good race. the similarities dont get much closer than the Tiger and the 41.

I believe Sacred Ground has had both powerboats?
Maybe he will chime in?

GLH all your pics are great, but the sitting idle at the dock is my new background!

he did, he had the green tiger, i'll be the first to admit, tigers are set up as pleasure boats. I have only seen 2 42 set up as race boats and they had staggers and 6 paks and did very well in their racing circuits. Lk cumberland has one of them for sale

Apache has pleasure 41's

no argument, take a 42 and a 41 equally powered and set up, it would be a race I would like to see.

[QUOTE=offshoredrillin;2532408]Absolutely, a real Offshore Powerboat race, 6' seas and lots of open ocean.................bet on Apache

No offense, I know Apache is "king of rough water" and all but saying bet on Apache is a stretch. I've been on both in big water and really noticed no difference in ride and handling. They're both big heavy conventinal Vee bottoms and are basically brothers seperated at birth. No real difference in the two in my opinion.

And a 41 Apache with 1000's and sixes compared to a 42 Tiger with 1000's and sixes in an open water race would come down purely to driver (skill and luck).

What I like the most about that picture is the $815 of gas in the full tanks !!! :D:D:D

When you start comparing a Cig 42 and an Apache with similar power, you're getting to the point where you're not really comparing the boats, since they are so close in capabilities. Then you start comparing drivers and/or throttles, more like you would when you compare two sportbikes.....it comes down to the rider :)
