OK, I'll bite. This is just my opinion, but I did own one before buying my current boat (Top Gun). They are great boats in the rough as they are heavy for their size. You won't find many boats in the same size range that are better when the water gets snotty. 500HP's will get you 74mph, 600's will get you around 80. The cabins are the best thing about them. I think that they are a better layout than any other Cig model. There is a special seat in the cabin that has many uses.
My Bullet was by far the easiest twin-engine boat that I have ever driven. Not too big and not too small. Get on plane, trim it up and you are done. Never used the tabs at all. My Top Gun has to be driven. That's not a bad thing, but it gets to be a pain in the azz sometimes. All in all, I would love to own another Bullet someday. Do some searches on here, there is a ton of info on the Bullet.
What is the new 36?????

That's helpful - most people who are in the market for a used bullet are really just struggling to decide between that and an un-made NEW cig.....
I have only seen one in person, and can't comment on ride, but the cabin really was spacious - real useable layout. Search the Cig section - you will get a lot of info and opinions on them and from what I have read, not much bad publicity.

I love mine! Handles big water well and the cabin is nice with a separate head for the ladies. Cockpit is slightly small (6 people are real cozy). Only comment I can make that can fall into the negative column is it takes more power to hit speed goals than other comparables. Old school has very good estimates for speeds with the HP500s and 600s. I would make sure to get a good survey IMHO. Attached are a couple cabin pics.
