Top ends should be done at 80 hours and right now they have about 15 on them.....

Yes I have spoken with someone at Cobra ( not Randy ) they knew the boat,spoke highly of it and were very helpful with all of my questions. I was surprised at there professionalism and willingness to help me on a boat they're not even selling. Theirs not as much maintenance as I would have expected..

flat bottom ones love it

Thank you guys for all the nice comments. I know where there is a set of Merc 850's for around $45k if that's what you wanted instead of the big power. I do not recommend 700's in a 42 because the boat is very boring to drive. 90mph in a twin step 42 is like an easy afternoon cruise.....

i seen and been in the 188th 42 boat at Randys shop in fl, and i can tell you there is nothing wrong w it. its definetly one of kind and a real head turner and runs amazing - that gets my vote

Sorry, I should have specified T/S Tigers.

Love the 188th Street boat! Merc 850's would be a good fit for it.

I will tell you this is true my T/S runs amazingly flat and flies level, but after 95mph it is a handfull. I heard it is because the step is to large. So I have it propped for mid range to run to mid 90's and the accelaration is insane especailly for a 42' boat. The 3 relief step is the ticket to going over 100mph smoothly for sure.

or you taking the boat to key west this year it would be nice to see it in person

were taking our Intrepid to key west, the cigarette stays nice and warm in a heated building up north all year.
