What did the test driver at Cig say, "the fastest accelerating Cig they've ever made?" After taking a ride yesterday all I can say is I've never been on boat that accelerated anything like that in the mid range.
Makes the old one with 700's feel like a dog. You have to experience it to believe it. With the turbos screaming and its acceleration, its different than anything else out there.
That boat is a work of art.

Glad everything is going well, the boat is a complete masterpiece!

Wow. Boat is awesome.
Will post some pictures of it on the water soon. Have not as yet.
Boat is super quick....I mean SUPER quick. Was running yesterday about 60ish mph when a 38/42 fountain was coming in the other direction. I slowed to mid 40's when I saw him turn my direction so he could catch up to me. As he was accelerating and catching up to me I maintained about 50 and before he passed me I opened it up. In no time I was passing 110 with an awesome rooster tail! The fountain then turned away at probably mid 90's I guess about 10 boat lengths behind.
The turbos are an awesome experience and take some time to get used too. After accelerating to cruise speed you really have to bring back the throttles quickly to desired cruise as it keeps accelerating like a missile. The boat is much quieter at speed also which is awesome but at idle is about 99 decibels off the transom.
Top speed thus far for me is 115 and I mean an easy 115. Used no tabs and little trim and you get there fast. Again, the really amazing part of this boat is the shear acceleration from any speed when on plane. It's what I wanted and certainly achieved. All the guys at Cig have been awesome!
