Default Tiger with 500s

Finally in a position to really start shopping

Is it just me or are 500 efis not enough to push a tiger.

I see about a half a dozen of them for sale all 42s with 500 efis.

What speeds will they get and how hard are they on bravos.

this is a good example. This boat matchs my company colors, but I worry about the engins and drives. www.paragonstl.com

Thanks for your help

The boat you posted is "LivinVIP's." The boat runs in the low 70s and is absolutley flawless. Victor's boat is absolutley flawless. It's so clean you can eat off the engines. It's a nice boat and must be seen to believe.

In 2000, they vaccum bagged the Tigers. They weigh just under 10k lbs. The bravo drives will last on the stock power.

I knew I could count on you lucky

What if you use blowers or pro chargers (which are better) with that get me more speed and still not hurt my drives.

I am really not sure of what package I want to go with, Cigarette1s boat is first on my list but this is a close second. Didnt this boat have 3 man stand up rear seats at one time.

Ive got a 2000 Tiger that HAD 500's 540 Bulldogs and the boat went 71 all day long with the extended covergirl cabin and XR'S

Is it enough ??? Only you can answer that question. The boat can take alot more than the 500's and 70. But is definitly not a dog with that power. It jumps on plane and goes real nice

No, the boat with the 3-man real bolster has the same paint as this Tiger but is a T/S. From my understanding you can't add a blower to an EFI engine. You could add the vortech prochargers and would probably run 85mph with good reliability (700hp). The boat is like new.

No, it was bought by someone on the board though. I tried to send you an e-mail but I got a mailer-demon.
