Default Tiger vs. Top Gun ?

Could someone tell me what is the "best" Cigarette, and why... Basically, what are the main differences between the Tiger and Top Gun?

Thanks!

I am not sure about this but I think the 4 foot comment above just about sums it up.

From what I have seen (and there are smarter people on here to comment than me) something to consider is that the tiger is a little pointier - resulting in essentially the same amount of hull in the water. I am not sure there is a lot of ride difference considering this fact, but I have never been in a tiger.

As far as roominess/accomodations/appointments - same as the rest....

Note that the Tiger comes in a flat bottom and T/S design.

I like both boats and would personally consider both while making a decision. However, I find that the Topgun has a bigger cockpit and a nicer sunpad area making it a little more user friendly. Also, when it comes time to sell, I think that the Topgun has a slight advantage over the Tiger. The Topgun has always been one of Cigarettes most popular and best selling boats. Either way, you can't go wrong.

It seems that both the Tiger and TG range from 38-42 in length... am I correct..so basically there is very little difference betweeen the two.. other than the sunpad area and a slight nose change???

So we're clear - the Tiger is the 42 footer - all tigers ever made were 42 feet long.

The Top Gun is the 38 footer - all Top Guns are 38 feet (with the exception of the new 39 TG Unlimited, and a handful of 35' Top Gun's) but for your purposes TG's are 38 feet.

Just wanted to make sure that was clear....

Actually SeaFord, that was where I was messed up!!!! I actually did not know that. NOW I understand.... that's why it's good to ask people who know what the !%$ they are talking about!! Money wise then the Tiger will obviously be more expensive... just because of the size difference... Gotcha.
