Cigarette 42x 2010' model with 700's
 

Does anybody know cruise and WOT speed for a 42x with 700s' & NXTs' ?
I have already made a downpayment for it (it has 110 hours on the clock) and here in the Med there aren't many people to ask... .

Consumption figures in WOT and cruise speed?

Used to a own a fountain 42 2009' model with diesel cummins engines, but it was (totally) burnt because of a spark coming from (the factory) amplifier. I want the cigarette to ride better in rough conditions (I will be using it -only- in the sea) I do not care for being the fastest of all powerboats. 90+miles is fast enough for the Med, it is too bumpy..

based on what I've seen, cruise is somewhere in the mid 70's and WOT is mid to upper 90's.

RWOT will be in the mid 90's. 4000 rpm is around 65 depending on how you are propped. At 70-75 your basically at 1 mile per gallon. At 65 it's 1.1 mpg. At 60 it's 1.2 mpg according to vessel view.

Share some pictures of the boat. Wondering which one it is.

Thanks for the consumption info. What props are good for high cruise and keeping the boat on plane under rough conditions (meaning being able to keep the boat at relatively low speed)? Owner told me he uses the original one Cigarette fitted (I have no clue what these are, I will see them on the 26/8)

Nice boat, congrats!

That's a nice looking X! Like the paint design a lot. Congrats.

I believe there are Mercury Racing props on the boat. I remember seeing them when I was looking at the boat (on pics). Cigarette normally puts large (diameter) props on there 42's so you should be fine on the bumpy med. Where do you boat? Two years ago I was in St-Tropez with a Revolution, we had some real 3-4 footers every day of the week. Btw, there was one dealership that advertised the boat as being a 2008 boat and said it was imported in 2010. In other ads they all say it's a 2010 boat. Don't want you to be worried, just want to share this with you. Anyway, it's a very cool looking cig!

I am boating in Greece, indeed during the summer season in the Aegean it is very common to have 4-5footers, which are very sharp, boat needs to cut them through. owner told met hat he has mercury props indeed.
I will check what you said when I go & see the boat.
It was obligatory to pay a downpayment in order to reserve the boat & go for the sea trial, so I do not yet have a personal view on staff.

Where do you boat ziggy?

I happened to be in Piraeus just before the summer. Saw a Fountain and two Cigarettes on my way to the airport, so you're definetly not the only one out there. The Cigarette will do just fine in Greece. You really can't go wrong with a Cig in bumpy waters! I do most of my boating in Belgium. Keep us posted on your process.

I am running 17.5x34 with 18 deg rake Herings.
That is on the big side of things a 17x33 would work or close to it.
On thing I do know is that 18 deg rake is what is needed for the boat. I've tried 16 rake and it bows stears and nose dives off waves. Also tried 20 dog rake and the boat is fast, but a little squirly at higher speeds and did not ride as well.

Turner,
Do you happen to have any extra props? Something I could try / buy? I am in cleveland / Sandusky.

Thanks a lot.

What do you mean "on the big side of things" ?
With 17,5 x 34 do you get on plane easily? WOT and cruise speed?
Have you ever tried to see at which (lowest) speed the boat is held on plane with these props?

I mean that's as much pitch and diameter that the boat can pull on the top end with the power.
Boat gets on plane very easily. 2800 rpm and it comes right out. No slip unless it's rough.
Can cruise in the upper 60s at 4000 rpm. Have only ran it out a couple times since I got these props and seen 101-102. ( I have the whipple stage 2).
Boat stays on plane down to 30-35 mph.

Other than what I am running I don't have anything else. It either sold or I sent them back.
What are you looking for?
Also these are the larger 26 spline SSM style props. If it's for your early model Top Gun you are probably running a round ear bravo style prop right?
