I won't say price but I will say it was under the shocking category vs asking price. To me so much goes into price thoughts, most boats are over priced and nowhere near as nice as pics show or people say, most boats have power that has questionable quality build and can bomb at anytime, ssm will always pull a premium to certain buyers, personally I would not want a 35/38 cig without ssm, and 6's would depends boat not all with 6's perform right (setup)

many boats I seen survey well have rot that they seem to miss, when I look I get in anywhere I can to check especially under step in a gun to cabin 90% are wet there but people don't look.

you can find a boat that seems like a deal with nice power and ssm for let's say 60,000. Next thing you know a bad engine or a drive eats 20,000 out of your pocket, then you find rot and it goes from there, things snowball super fast.

that being said if I'm looking at a top gun in 70-90,000 range it better be real nice, have lower with history and proof of build by a good name, personally prefer ssm, you cannot give me bravos on a gun no thx.

Full Force Great information! That says a lot right there. Thanks for the information. I’ve decided to hold off purchasing anything until I can get some seat time in some different brands. Cig is on the list and I’m definitely interested in the beak boat (Sorry guys). I also need to make a list of must haves. I want to do this once with no regrets.

If you like rough water and your kidneys don't buy a beak.

no doubting they run flat and fast, that's the only advantage over Cigarette. I like my cigarette better for everything else

That says a lot guys. Also explains the price difference.

Ok you cant have a Cig. Keeping budget in mind. Whats your next boat of choice? Formula?
