Thanks for the info thisistank. I know she was originally bought by a wealthy guy who also owned the 194' yacht Helios, kinda cool to see it in pics as part of his navy. I don't believe there was a budget issue, she is pretty much jammed with exotic/cool stuff, i e Carbon fiber K plane bottoms. Rumor is it was 700 k new, yikes! I was just trying to get an idea of build ratio of Tigers to T G's. Someone mentioned something like 117 Tiger straight bottoms, I thought that was strong.

Congratulations! The boat was originally commissioned by Lorenzo Fertitta (owner of the UFC). Sean Stinson can tell you all about the beginnings. Peter Pavkovich canalso give you some good background on it. I was lucky enough to spend some time back in 2002 on the boat in Miami. I can still remember running high-90's in snotty water when the steering wheel popped off. It's a monster in the rough and very loud! Have fun!

Hey Ironmanwb, That's kinda how I felt. I was originally looking for a T G. I got a good deal from a great guy who picked me up at the airport and shuttled me around (twice), took me out for over an hour, showed me 90 mph and left 300 gals. of stabilized fuel in her. Seller also paid for Chris Bowers to come up from N C and winterize the boat, he is a legend in those parts, and will continue to service her. The whole experience was very comfortable and positive, no what ifs, or buyer's remorse.

No way there was 170 straight bottom Tigers Not even close
Bet there wasn't more than 30
Went step around 2001-2002 and I think the earliest ones were around 97-98
Just guesses but I was pretty involved in the tiger scene for a while and I knew almost all of them
Congrats Its a nice ride

Congrats on your Purchase. I have the sister boat to yours,the 30' Mystique. Mine was built by the same owner as yours a couple of years after yours. Both have the same paint layout and colors.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
