Which top guns??
 

ok so after looking at a few top guns and comparing things, talking to Glassdave and others it is obvious the 87-90 guns are laid up heavier and stronger then 91-up guns, my question is for guys who have had both or been in them both in slip what's better??

For use in Great Lakes and loving rough water runs ... overnighting every weekend and all out useability...

Lets say 87-90 gun with 3's 700 ish HP vs let's say 93 with Trs/konrads/bravo 700 ish hp what is the differences in ride wuality im Great Lakes slop? Both same? One better then other and why?

Have you ever rode in a twin step? If not I think you’d be surprised, there’s really no drop off in ride difference. Cabin is a different story though

Tim, sell a few more parts boats and then buy mine! Then I can get a T/S....

yes and to me all cigs ride great but there is some didfeeence in feel, that being said. T/S would be sweet the issue with those is the overnighting for me every weekend they are not very overnight friendly especially with wife having enclosed head on the list lol

One of the reasons I sold my TS.

If the cabin is your biggest concern, buy a post 90's gun. As I've stated over and over....Best cabin in it's class.

You're not going to notice a difference in the ride between the two by the way.

Tim, there's a 2000 37 Active Thunder on facebook that I tagged you on. Boat has 500EFI's, full cabin, enclosed head, etc..., runs 85mph and asking $64k. I know you're a big Cig fan, but you like the cabins and if you want to get into a faster, newer boat with a nice cabin and good ride in the rough, there's not much out there without spending a ton of money.

Tim, I would consider the AT, sweet boats.

I had a 92 Kevlar TG and I know for a fact that it would take anything you and your water could throw at it..................get a dry one............

and its for sale........

Looks sweet!

i cant believe that things still for sale. Great package and looks very well cared for.

like I said in the other thread about the wet stabs, I knew it was wet... I'm not losing money... that's all I am going to say about that... guys gotta get over it, I know exactly what I'm doing there.

Im not looking to spend 90,000.00 if I was I would be looking at 36 apaches... hands down the best all around 36-38ft straight hull boats out there

that's a sweet ride, just more then I can do "cash" at moment... I won't do a loan on a noatnand over time I'm working my way up the ladder to pay more cash, also lolookg to build a barn in spring so I'm trying to keep the boats cheaper that's why I was looking at no power options also leaves me $ for barn build, looking at a boat this weekend that I been sitting on, of thatbworks out price is right and I Get a barn lol

Wow, that boat is in great shape, lots of money spent....

Sell everything you have boating related. Buy the boat.....go boating....and enjoy. Can't be far off with all the parts, hulls and stuff you have. And that is the asking price

it is a thought, just trying to do boat and a barn.. haha who knows what will happen in the end... justbwant a top gun... dry... we will see

Dude, Trust Tank!
 

Tank has it right as usual! I love my Tiger, but my '97 TG was way more user friendly. Enclosed macerator head, sink and lots of cubbies for storage. Incidentally, cockpit and engine room are both larger than in the Tiger too. You may pay a little more for a TG, but they also retain their value. As echoed by everyone, that '93 is a great deal. Spend any less than that, and you might regret it!

True...Boxes...5's. NA Power. Big Cubes... Right Parts and run 80's in a straight bottom. Can't be beat for the price.

I tried to buy that boat last year, he ended up deciding to keep it. Its a great deal, he had sent me a video taken from shore of it running down the lake and it sounded awesome!

Its for sale,

Tim, the fellas are right. You know what it costs to get all the upgrades. The '93 is your boat, sell everything and pony up the cash! Enough dickin' around!

we will see what happens, I am looking at a boat Saturday

I've always loved that boat, looks like you can eat off everything. Appears to be a well kept boat!

I would love to see that video!
