Cig has been building boats a lot longer than OL or NorTech...and a lot more of them.
Cig has an awful lot of repeat buyers.. Some of these boys get new boats every year or two...
Cig just builds more boats. OL and NT could if they had bigger facilities, and more employees.... Yes, they could build just as good a boat..
Pricing on the 850 Cig vs the trip 600 boat... The 850s will cost quite a bit more up front..and require more maintenance on the engines.

On the triple 600, you have the weak link, the drives will require rebuilds. Its a catch 22.

The Nor-tech design looks like the same mistake BMW made with their 7 series.The design is choppy,the rear awful,and the cockpit looks like major Bling designed it. I dont mean to put the boat down,and while it may drive and ride as well or better than any of the others,bottom line;Its not a pretty boat.
I'd take any of these boats....but not the Cig if the cabin was very high on my list.

PS. No signs of Dennis out here, not yet...

Tim, I know you have the inside scoop. I just remember being quoted 127k for 850 attached to a #6 drive. Times 2 that doesn't sound all that bad compared to a trip. 600 combo when you consider the drive maintenance and such. Either way your into the $500's I would think.
