Default Rough water Cig question

I LOVE Cigarettes. I run on the Lake of the Ozarks and would love to get an older 35 to 38 Cig. Sad to say I play n a game that is above my pay grade so mone is an issue. There seems to be SO many different models out there though most are cafe and top guns. What Cigs are best in the rough stuff?

I would recommend an older 35' cigarette from the late '70's with a pair of 800s and you would have an over 100 mph boat that would run all day. By the way you were talking about an older cigarette right?

Mostly you are going to see Top Guns - they have sold the most of those (more than 700). They only sold 110 Cafe's from 86-96(97)

The best cigs in rough stuff are Rough Riders or Maurauders - but realistically speaking Cafe's and Gun's are both good - The Gun has 3 extra feet, a little more weight and is actually considered a little faster than the cafes with equal power...

flatdecks would do well too & less than top gun. but even a bullet gets around nice there.
