I remember that. I actually saved a picture of that you posted way back. I always thought that was really cool!

I have been looking for a long time. I really want to build something but the cost is so prohibitive that I just can't get over wasting that kind of money. I want to buy a solid package that needs a little TLC and over time I can paint and change to make it my own style Most "hull" only or add power will put you in the poor house before you even start. I keep trying to make my self just pull the trigger but I see deals like your boat and I just can't do it. A pair of motors alone at 750-1000 hp are 35K or more each then add headers, tail pipes and all the ancillary chit and your well over 80-85K with no labor to install. So when I see big power # 6 boat sell for under a 100K on a trailer......it just doesn't make sense to build one. I will keep waiting and saving and hopefully the right boat for the right money will come along. Or I will win the Powerball and not give a chit what I spend.

It is worth it to wait Bud, I actually missed out on a Baja 36 Outlaw last September. Boat was in Canada, by the time my Passport came, I was about 2 days late. Owner sold that 99 rigged with Merc 900 sc and 6 drives on a trailer for 55K! I was not looking for a Baja, but price was a great value given the gear it was running. I waited to hit Powerball too, but at 63, I'm done waiting for much!

Thanks J240, My Tiger isn't an orphan!

If I had to take a guess on the number of straight bottom Tigers built, I would say somewhere between 18-28. And, that may even be high.

Did you re-list your tiger or has the ad not been updated to show "sold"? I see it's still listed for sale.

Whens the boat making the trip home, were getting close to good weather

Hey outlw36, Still got to do some stuff : Drives and tabs going back to black, minor rash repainted, exhaust and silencers, wiring clean up, etc. I flew down to NC last Monday and met with Chris Bowers and discussed what needed to be done. Saw the beast on the trailer for the first time, Big Boy! Chris is a great young man, and immensely talented, but he works pretty much alone and at his own pace. Gonna be about Memorial Day, and I am fine with that. It is worth it to have a great guy doing the work right! Chris knows his stuff, He just stuck a new transom on an MTI cat, you would not believe his attention to detail, fabrication and painting skills, FLAWLESS! He is very, very, detail oriented and I love that!

If you have it back for Memorial Day, Lake Winnipesaukee might be a first good run.
I'll be there all weekend.
I put the Gibson turn downs on mine, there nice and quiet at idle around the docks but come out of water on plane.
