A straight bottom 42 is an Apache twin. They don’t get as much love despite being much newer.

I owned a 2001 TS Tiger for 7 years and only ever had it porpoise when in flat lake water trimmed out. The boat was an absolute wave crusher and loved the rough stuff. It does not have a balance problem but the early models had a little more lift in the front to ride over waves rather than through them. i've been on a lot of different boats over the years and haven't had one ride as nice in the bigger water. I just bought a new boat and sold the tiger (hope I didn't make a mistake). I did keep blowing drives the first 3 years and changed to Imco SCX Extremes and solved the problem. Had the uppers on 4 years before any rebuilding and changed the lower gears every season as preventative maintenance. Seemed like I had more room in the engine compartment then my friends 38TG, Also the door to the cabin was bigger, Had 2 big lockers in cabin.

I can’t speak to the T/S boats (beyond my pay grade) but my flat bottom tiger definitely porpoises without a good amount of trim. I can’t compare it to a TG either but I can compare it to my Cafe and there was a significant size difference. 42 is plenty more to tow that’s for sure.
