It does not matter to me if it is a 35 or 38, I know that 38's are better for re-sale.
I like this 35 in particular.

my playboy...

175k

better than a TG....
no notch so turns better
3 ft less = less weight in front of the cg= 86mph

I love my 35, I could have bought the 38 but the 35 was a better fit for me. Whatever you chose, it is a Cig, you will enjoy it......If you have any particular ? pm me.........Ricky

I owned a 01 model and never had any issues with it. The boat handled great and would out accelerate a 38 with 575's.

Are you going to mainly run it on the Chain 'O Lakes, or Lake Michigan, or both ?

I live on the chain and would trailer to lake Michigan on occasion

Damn, - thats a big boat for the Chain, - Either way, - going Cig is the right thing to do. -

Cool.

I found that my 35 Cafe was fine for the Chain, but there were times out on the big pond where I wished I had the extra 2.6 feet.

Are you a member of N.I.O.C. or C.O.P.S. ( Chicago Offshore ) ?

the twin step boats are tottal different as to the attitude in the rough...
