Default "Come Fly With Me"

What's the deal with this boat? From the pics it doesn't look like it has steps but it has all the new style dashs, new platform, new air vents etc. What year is it? What power?

It`s hard to tell but I`m sure that it`s an older boat with updates. Also it looks as if it has number sixes as well.....Nice.

I think the boat is a 99 and I don't think it has been changed since it was new. It had Zul 1000's and #6's the last time I saw it, and I think it probably still does. Heard it runs 106 mph.

The boat sat at DSM in Dana Point for along time. Semper Fi from the boards used to tow it for the old owner and has been in it. Maybe he will chime in.

I believe the boat is a 2000. It is non-stepped and has 1,000's with 6 drives. It runs about 105-106. It is a bad A$$ Top Gun. It is one of my favorites.

The Cig is a 2000 with full cabin, no steps, dry sump 6's and 950-1000 Zuls...Sean Stinson spec'd the boat and would know quite a bit about it.

There was a great video on the board a while back with Stinson driving it off of Miami. Film was from a helicopter to Frank Sanatra....AWESOME video! Maybe someone can find it.

I thought that video was of the Vegas Boys running it on Lake Mead. The same guys who own the Crayola and Blue/Flame big power Tigers. These are the guys who own the casinos on the TV reality show "Casino"

A SCOPE member (and good buddy) now owns it and has been running with us almost every weekend this summer.

Nope, the video was in Florida w/Stinson and the previous owner. But yea, the old owner was one of the guys from Vegas. Gerrard knows the boat well.

The other 2 Tigers (crayola/ blue flame) are owned by the Fertita family who own all the Station Casinos and the new Green Valley Ranch in Las Vegas.

The Top Gun was owned by Tom Breightling (sp ?) I belive he works for the Fertita family.

I have towed all three of these boats all over the place. I have to say the Blue flame Tiger is my favorite of the three.
