42 tiger
hi guys new member here im looking at a 42 tiger non stepped hull with 500 efi would love to hear your thoughts top speed? issues? etc.. many thanks !!!!!!

mine is a 2000 non stepped that had 500 efi's and xr's 1.50... no issues... top speed was 72 then now 77-78 with engine work done. keep tabs and drives tucked in when planing and you will be fine.

To get on plane. The boat will not be a rocketship, but they are really cool boats! :cool:

Tank is right, tuck them in while planing, once you get to 3 on your trim you are neutral, lower is tucked in. once you start to give it throttle, trim the drives up some then the tabs and viola, your on plane...also turning the props in carry the bow much better, you will lose a little of the maneuverability, but still very manageable.

Been meaning to ask this about my TG as well. I turned the wheels in on my Formula and gained a couple mph, but you're right, maneuverability did suffer a bit. Think I'll try it on the Gun (and take the spacers out of the lowers).:evilb:

I will my Tiger does not like getting on plane with 4 blades but once it is there it amazes me how it will stay on plane at low speeds. I have only had this boat this season but I am loving the ride. My boat is a twin step, it really shines in 3' seas wherevit just spans across the waves as if you are riding in flat water. My only complaint is with the higher x dimension and the fact it rides so level due to the steps the boat definitely seems to break the props free a lot easier then Cafe. But all in all the more a drive the more I like it. Good luck!
