Would love to have this boat on LOTO. Rode with Kelly last fall at Harbor Hop on his Tiger and they just eat that lake up. GLWTS!

cool, pluses and minuses of FB is everyone is an expert especially on pricing.. same people on this site that always bash pricing do it there... they are morons, name me one person that lists their for sale item starting at the lowest price?

Id love to see it too, lol.. in all seriousness, my friends wife who is riding with me in the video has a CC, she was telling her husband at 92 mph the thing was on rails, she couldn't believe how smooth it was. it really is a great hull, and we made it better. :)

Awesome boat! How many RPMs are you turning?

93 was 5800ish

got some uplighting on the trailer this week

That looks fantastic Rob. Did you do the install yourself? What was the process?

mitch at Md offshore did it, ive been swamped at the shop, doing the truck next week, its powered through the markers and i have a switch on the trailer as well, for night loading, and will have one in the truck too

Got to run in Tiki lees shootout, my 2 passes were 90 and 92 respectively on a 3/4 mile course.. i was heavy on fuel from my own miscalculation the day before. but im still happy with results for a supposed "old" hull... speed by the start boat was 50 max, i went through each time at about 45. sorry for the vid quality... bill at wmf took it while waiting to run his mti

Cool boat man. What are you dreaming up next?

Can you compare the ride of a step vs non-step hull 42 Tiger?

Thanks Andy, to me yes the straight hull rides smoother. the first step tigers had a cog issue, then when they staggered them it became worse. then they redid the hull to the 42Xits just my opinions that steps run faster at speed but take more to plane until the boat becomes "unstuck" which is why they were harder on drives. to me the ride of a staright hull is better than a step, but thats just me.

The twin stepped hulls do everything better than a flat antiquated bottom. Plane easier, crush waves the same if you trim it in (same entry as a non stepped boat) and have way better to end. The only reason somebody wouldn’t buy a TS over a straight bottom is the size of their wallet. You can buy straight bottoms for about half the price…

Agree...^^^^^

I owned a 2001 42 Tiger with the twin step. Good boat but you better know how to drive it if you want to go over 90mph. The steps were in the wrong spot and to big. Cigarette tried change them around with the relief and by staggering. They were not the best designs let’s face it. As far as straight vs step goes Offshoredrillin I would rather be a straight bottom Tiger at 100mph then my twin step. That boat came out bad a$$. I think the best argument on step vs.non step is resale and that’s because of what everyone posts not just because it’s better. In fact in many cases the step boat becomes a dangerous weapon in the wrong hands. Not sure of any spin outs in straight bottoms but I have seen tons in all the step boats. Just saying both have there place.

Still some summer left, next month or so is best weather...
