Do you take trades? I don't think DMan would.

Sure do. No problem at all.

Don't hesitate to give me a call.

Tim,

Did they dump the 46' Rough Rider in the water today? Saw a black Dually making a right on Atlantic Blvd with a BIG blue empty Myco trailer.

In any case, it seems like big power and speedies are rare in a Gun.
Just re-directing the thread back to is original intention / question

I'd like to hear some accurate feedback on this as well. Thanks.

Are you sure you're not thinking of the Tigers? Thats why they have two bottom designs for the new stepped Tigers because the first generation of steps did not work at all well with big power and SSM's. They designed the new stepped bottom to run the larger packages.

The boat with the Sterling 900's dockrocker is talking about was my 04 TG. The boat ran absolutely perfect. The was no balance issue or did it do anything bizzare. I traded the boat back into National Marine only because Cigarette had received 6 pairs of the new 1075s and I just had to have those motors in a new 42X. I am a EFI supporter and decided the 1075s was my best option. The TG was an absolute hot rod / bad ass boat.

I saw it at National Marine about a month ago. They said they sold it, but now it's for sale with Lake Cumberland Marine"??

G LIGHTNING-Any pics of the new 42X?

I am a Cig novice so please excuse my ignorance. What is the difference between a 2004 42 X and a 42 XP? How do the XP's seem to handle with 900's and 6's? Thanks.

Thanks Mike, thats good to know that you had no worries / issues.

I also think that alot of guys looking to go/use big power are looking past the 38 and just going with the 42. The trend seems to be that the 42 is now about equal to what the 38 use to be as far as desireability is concerned, so that may explain less 38's with big power being produced. It looks to be the same trend with Outerlimits as well.

I agree, you also get the 4 extra feet which is nice with a big power boat. I mean, don't get me wrong, the 38 is still the most popular Cig but I think more people that buy 38s these days are just looking for stock/reliable power, and aren't looking to race anyone. (Except PokerRunGunT/S )
