I think either way--they are both great boats. If you were looking at the "sitdown boats", I would get the Donzi over the Gladiator.
otherwise, I would go for the 39Top Gun with the 700's.
****If "reslae" value is aconcern (it should be) then why not buy a low hour, clean boat that will cost you $100K less than new? This will reduce the "depreciation" factor considerably.

RESALE -, but that is a hard descision, i just want to see another cig at LOTO - If you spend 500k on a cig and go to sell it in a year you will only get 400k if that ,if you spent 400 on a 43 with 850s and 6s you will have a very limited market and maybe get 250 on a good day. New boats are hard on the pocket book - better resale and more buyers on the cig, but higher price - good luck with the decision

The boat is on the way back from the Atlantic City show to the factory. They are going to put a generator in it and then return it to the lake. Not sure about the timeline, but it should not be too much longer.
Have a good trip down to FL. We will hook up this spring.

I currently own a 2006 38zr w/525's. Went to Miami with the intention of trading into a Cig; 2007 39TG w/700's NXT, but for the same money could have a Donzi 43ZR w/850's and 6's or 700's NXT and save $100k. It is my intention to run in Florida during the winters, LOTO in the summer.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm just not really seeing the the difference/benefit of the Cig for the dollars.

Once you are in the family there is only one way out (in my best mobster voice)
Have fun testdriving both, see you at LOTO

I thought I saw you at the trade show. I said something to my wife that I thought it was you, and she just kept walking on towards the exit. I should have stopped.

Do you pay a little more... probubly. But when you decide to let it go, there is no better used boat to sell than a "Lip-Ship" Cig.
