First check a few things, Check to see if the Xs are true. I have found a few that are not , either side to side from center or from each side. Next look for a shrinkage in the glass on the left area in front of the notched transom just outside of the rounded area. Does the boat ventilate in a accelorated planing? Because of the bottom design , quite a few of the cigs need lowered Xs. Switch your props and try to see if it is a prop problem it will come out in the switch.

Feelin Nauti did your 93 Fountain come from grand, if so i believe it was John Mullins personal boat for a short time.

Flawless looking rig.. goodluck with your prop issue.. your X dim.. looks real conservative..have you tried the boat out in the rough to see the effect of its performance?..

Re: Tiger Handling Characteristic
 

mismatched X-dimensions? On a boat of that caliber and that kind of $$ ?

now that's worriesome... :(

Re: Tiger Handling Characteristic
 

Thanks for the thoughts Tres. I will check the X's and will post back with the measurements if they are not true. The boat does ventilate getting to plane. My gut feel is that it will be either a need for lower X's (like you mentioned, also 2112 mentioned spacers) or just a change props. At this point, I am just waiting for spring to get the boat back in the water so I can start working with it again.

Thanks,

Been awhile, curious if you had a chance to try new props yet? I am looking at a similar setup to yours so curious about your results.

Call Bud at Cigarette or Phil at LIP-SHIP Performance.Both will give you the correct answers and not try to get in your pocket by talking you in to something you don't need.

I would take the advice that Tres has provided.....it is free and we all know that Tres could rig a Cig blind-folded. Normally people charge for that kind of info......ie. attorney's, consultants, doctors, etc. Thanks for being involved on the board Tres.
