Is Sutphen the better boat
 
Okay we where having this heated debate in another thread so I would like to hear from all of you. Know don't get me wrong I have always thought Sutphen was a great boat but this was getting interesting.

The Sutphen is light weight because its built correctly and doesnt need all the crap Cig threw in the boat. I love Cigarette's but a Sutphen is much much faster boat, built and rigged better, and can hang with a Cigarette in the rough any day. There's plenty of Sutphens around. The owners just hang on to them forever because its such a good boat. Why dont you bring your boat on a poker run and well see where you end up!! A flat bottom Cigarette has never been ahead of me at any poker run!!

QUOTE=fountain40icbm;3205728]Every Sutphen was hand built. There were more Sutphen's in the northeast than there were Cigarette's in the 80's. Sutphen actually has more racing world and national championships so why is Cigarette #1?? I like Cigs just as much as the next guy but they are not the best of the best. We have owned Cigarette's and our Gladiator was one of the best boats we owned. Cigarette doesnt go above and beyond the comp in really any way. They do everything really well but nothing alot better than the rest. They have you brain washed!!:D:D[/QUOTE]

I have 2 measley 300"x on my boat and I am very happy with it. Christ thats just about a fishing boat. Does everything well though.
I guess you guys need to be up against something with comparable HP, so Jimmy knowles sutphen with tripple 300x's would be a good match, That's only 900 HP I am sure you guys are running at least that.

Whats he running about 96 MPH these days?

i would be happy to run in front of him at any poker run in a 92 38 tg. any water any speed any time. 100+. dont get me wrong, i'm not saying a negative word about his sutphin. just saying i wont have a problem running at the front.

I mean being a cig owner you realize thats the only way a cig could run those numbers.

However this is a sutphen we are talking about, so its under its own power and yes, IN THE WATER!


In fact theres video of it doing just that on you tube.

Now I know your used to that 65 MPH that most cigs run, and its hard to believe that with not much more HP a SUTPHEN can run that fast (96) but its true. Not only that, but it was done on 3 FISHIN MOTAS.

Thats OK we are still suprised a CIG could run tripple digits even on a trailer. With that Hull design you think that would be to rough for it>LOL

good reading

I have seen you on the sound SEVERAL times. THere are less sutphens because they are CUSTOM MADE not mass produced!


each one is lovingly handled buy true craftsmen to be just about perfect in every way.

1/2 the cigarettes produced from 1970's to 1990's wouldnt run over 65 MPH. I see them getting spanked by jetskis all day long on the river! They are famous for being slow among jetskiers, a favorite target!

RXP's lay waste to them on a regular basis and thats a fact!

My boat is dead stock and it will walk a RXP all day long in any water and its a boat with OB's on it that was built 100% as a pleasure boat not a go fast boat. Its got seating for 8 for christ sake.LOL


Now if we are just speaking of how fast a boat is a cig is on the bottom. Lets face it ANY CAT will spank its AZZ all day long, so if speed is our only concern both our boats are getting walked like crazy.

Sick and I were just playing with eachother, but I told him at least one of the CIG guys would take this seriously and get his panties all in a bunch.LOL

I didnt think it'd be you of all people.

There are 50 other makes on this site and all have thier good and bad points. We mess with you CIG guys because you think you own the be all end all of performance boats and we find your cockiness funny.

I have said it before and I'll say it again. I like cigarettes, but they are not the 10 steps above boats that CIG owners think they are.......

For the record SICK came into the SUTPHEN FORUMS throwing STONES we didnt get all cranky and *****y. We know were the best boat made.LOL

good huh?

I never said I always had my Sutphen.:D I have no doubt your 1000+hp TG should run ahead of me.:D

Good grief.:rolleyes::bong:

Yep im a stupid 21 year old who doesnt know anything and Cigarette is the best boat built in the history of the world. I finally see the light.................have a nice day. I am not posting in this thread again.

bob 09-12-2010 09:22 PM

I must say that over the years there haven't been many Cigs that have impressed me at any poker run or ?, from a speed standpoint. However, since the beginning of offshore time, the Cig has enjoyed a re-sale that has constantly impressed me!

wstultz 09-12-2010 10:03 PM

I think both boat manufacturers make a great product. It's all in the eye of the owner, buy what you like. Have fun with what you got.

Interceptor 09-13-2010 09:39 AM

Two different boats, both purpose built.

Rick G 09-13-2010 09:47 AM

I am surprised the Apache guys haven't hijacked this thread yet. The fact that the Sutphen guys are even making the comparison only speaks well of the cigarette brand. Both are great boats . The fact about the championships and Sutphen having more , maybe it had something to do with Don being dead? I'm just saying.

RG.

Sutphen builds a nice boat. Cigarette it is not. Let's be real about it.

It seems to me that you've had a chip on your shoulder regarding Cig's ever since your buddies over at Ocean Performance discontinued their relationship with Cigarette as a dealer and in turn started dealing Outerlimits. You can review the post history for yourself...its pretty obvious.

this is the dad...you might want to get your facts right about Cigarette and Outerlimts and Ocean Performance and our loyalty to anyone brand..we really do not have one...and as far as these other "opinions"...NO high performance boat does everything well...period...and if anyone thinks their "boat" cannot be improved...then you're drinking too much "brand-aid"!!!

302Sport 09-13-2010 05:34 PM

brand-aid is what most cigarette owners drink. the same people prolly think a rolex is the best watch made. :party-smiley-004:

I think my facts are just fine... just don't recall you (whichever one of you that might be) discussing OL much before they stopped dealing Cigarette. Then there was this quote from one of you.

If your refering to the Miami show 44 then that was the Carbon Fiber printed leather which I have not seen yet in any other boat. This is not your typical carbon fiber vinyl. The interiors now are done in house here at Outerlimits.

So is one of you working at or do you own OL now?

BTW just did a little search of the OL forum:

VtSteve 09-13-2010 06:43 PM

I was just online at both company's sites. Hands down winner is Cigarette, not even a fair contest. The opening water scene is very cool, and hey, They even have the Cigarette name on the speaker grilles, how kewl is that? It's all custom of course, so no problem getting an eight track player.

The Sutphen pics don't enlarge, everything's very white. No movies, no nuttin. But if you go to the Sutphenboats.com site, then you get the model babe, very cool. And, they offer a 5.0 with an Alpha

Breitling is the best watch everyone knows that. I have to say I have never been in the Power Play forum . It always amazes me all the nay sayers hang out in here, but I guess it is like they say imitation is the best form of flattery

I work for the company so I can inform people about the brand. Where have you been? Are they my favorite boat in the entire world, close but no. Vee bottom, yes. Again your facts about Ocean Performance are wrong as usual.

Breitling is the best, but only because I drive by their office every day on the way to work.:lolhit:

So you work for Outerlimits but don't have loyalty to the brand? I'd fire your azz.

Geez...maybe you didn't say it but one of you did (I'm so confused)...I think I've made my point...Its Ok really, I don't have any axe to grind with you; just mentioned what appeared to me to be a change in the tone of your posts around that time...for whatever reason. Guess it was just my imagination.
