As you said, you may not be the fastest Cig out there but you'll be there every day because stock 502's will never let you down. Good choice IMO.

How fast is that boat with 502's?

We went from a 29 Outlaw to our T/S- Not much of a learning curve. Especially with the straight bottom. And a Little longer deck to look over lol

It's only a guess, I'll say mid 60's, but a great boat and very reliable.

That's what I'm told - 65 and owner says he has seen a few mph higher with no load and light chop. We'll see, but honestly really looking for reliability and smoother ride. Telling the wife/kids we can't go on the water today because the boat wouldn't start would not go over well. I had the Outlaw for as long as I did because it never left me stranded, and over 9 summers never gave me a problem I could not fix in 30 minutes. People rag on Baja, but that 29 was a great boat. Thanks everyone for all of the advice and kind words!

After you get the amps mounted, remove the cockpit shower (no one ever uses) and have someone glass it in. Then cut a hole for a 10" sub woofer. You will need a 1-2" spacer.
Post some pice!!!

You'd probably be very surprised how many Cigarette owners came from a Baja (me included). Great boats, probably the most underappreciated boat in the performance market.

There will always be somebody faster. What matters is enjoying yourself and having the best time!
Congratulations

Two Baja's and a Sonic later, I finally made it to a Cig!


Congrats, it looks to be a very clean boat!
