What do you Lip-Ship followers think of the Red Top Gun that JT rigged with big Cobra power! How would you compare a JT rigged boat to one that Philly has customized?

Seems to be an incredible bias towards the Lip Ship models by some people. Philly has worked hard for a strong following and loyal customers. Good for him and I applauded his ability to serve his market. You are paying a premium to have his name on your boat! Is the Lip Ship model worth significantly more than another cig built by the same company? I guess for you is was worth close to $50 K more, personally I would rather put the extra money into Poker Runs and vacations. Yea, I'll admit it, I'm a happy Lip-Ship customer but it seems you're missing the point here. You're comparing this boat to others on the market. There is no other boat on the market that you can compare this boat too. This is basically a new/flat bottom. Gone through inside and out by someone that I'd rather have over see my new cigarette build than cigarette themselves. You can't compare it to a boat that has been beat up for past 8 years or a half azz interior job or paint job done on it. All work is by the best in the industry. You ask is this boat worth more than another built by another company...I'll ask, show me another late model flat bottom that has just been gone through inside and out from stern to bow by someone of equal reputation, then we can compare prices. Fact is, this is a one of a kind boat. By the way, I think the red TS JT built is SIIIIIICK! I don't know what or why you'd want to compare it to a Lip-Ship boat. And since JT and Phil are long time friends and directly next to each other and have collaborated on many a project, I don't know how you would "compare" boats. |

Boats depreciated, this is 9-10 year old hull. I would have a hard time paying 67% of what it cost originally from Lip-Ship originally in the economy we are in today? I would think a buyer that needs financing is going to have a tough time. |

Why do you say that? Do you think Lip-Ship models are built differrent at Cig? If I wanted the best I would ahve JT rig it! |
most of phils customers boat in fl in the winter, and the location, service, and quality is the best - enough said
|
So the easy answer is ... would you pay 149k for Phils 2000 or Buy Wild's boat for 159k.. I am not comparing boats, only asking which boat you would want for the same money !!
