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.

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!

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.

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.
