Was looking at both tigers and the OL...the OL is in Canada so I think that's out right away...seems like a headache to get one across the border and I would have to get on a tiger and make sure the cockpit and layout are useable for me...never even seen one much less been on one lol

Didn't things change in that regard this year? I thought there was a thread here about import/export stuff changing? Without throwing this thread back into politics lol I thought some embargo something changed?? Not up on all that stuff just remember hearing something about it.
If you don't mind me asking...what was the added cost of the transfer?? And are you responsible to pick it up at the border?? thanks

If you’re looking for something with a decent cabin, want to run good speeds and don’t want monster power, I would look at these, all stepped, efficient, and fuel injected with merc power:

i just went through this whole exercise for the past year. I was trying to buy an 05' TS but the banks just weren't on board even with perfect credit and sufficient income. They only wanted to loan $140k ish on a $210k boat. I ended up paying cash for a 1996 TG and absolutely love it. It has scratched my Top Gun itch and saved me $140k. Now if the guy with the 05' puts it back up for sale, I may have a nice '96 for sale

Great lakes you want that heavy straight bottom. I also remember Kurt also saying nothing beats a Straight bottom and he`s from Florida. You are not winning any speed competitions however that's for sure.
Not too many days you can go WOT around here so...

525 Straight bottom TG max speed 65mph cruise 45mph
525 TS TG max speed 85mph cruise 65mph
Now say the water is really rough, to make a fair comparison, pull that TS boat back to the same speed as the straight bottom would be running (45mph) and compare the ride. I'll be willing to bet at 45mph you dont see a difference.
No, bring them both to 65mph where the straight bottom is trimmed out for max speed and the TS is tucked in, running flat, I'll bet the TS ride is better in the rough at that speed.
