39 Top Gun Open ride quality
 

I'm looking for input from anyone that has experience with the 39 Top Gun Open, specifically with the quality of ride in rough water. The specs show a dry weight of right at 9,000lbs. I have ridden in a few other center consoles, but I'm curious as to how it rides with the 8' beam. Most of the other manufacturers have a wider beam, as well as some of the other Cigarette center console models. Thank you in advance.

39 Top Gun is not a center console boat

It is a Sport boat w/Staggered motors. The ride is Exceptional.

one word GTS

Brian, you may want to check your source again.....https://www.cigaretteracing.com/eng/39_topgunopen.php

I stand corrected... But just to clarify, this is what I was referring too:

My apologies...

have you ridden on Bubba's yet? he would be the one to speak with.

My buddy had a 39 open for less than a year and traded for a GTS. Beam is too narrow and rocks side to side like crazy. No comparison to the GTS. I'll have mine at the shootout if you want a ride. Here is Rafes 39 in Destin for a good comparison.

To me the 10' beam is ideal if you are trailering. It's manageable on the roads without getting hassled, but it's still wide enough for a good ride in the rough. Does it ride like a Huntress, no. There are compromises in everything though.

Big difference, interesting comparison.

Chad /\ correct statement above! too narrow

Thanks guys for confirming my initial thoughts. I've been told by more than a few people "in the know" that the beam is simply too narrow for a good, solid ride in LOTO water. Bubba, I may take you up on your offer. I found a night version of your pic as well![ATTACH=CONFIG]543620[/ATTACH]
