For someone interested in real differences, i test drove many.
39 outerlimites, rear seats are low, hard to see out of side of boat, need alot of plate, light runs very fast with less power, well built, really should go to the 42 for an outerlimits.
39 cig greate ride, heavyer, nothing bad to say, alot like the donzi i ended up with
Didn't drive the norteck
Donzi, sim to a cig, a bit lighter, i love the rear bolster seats, no complaints with mine runs great, built well, i like the covergirl type cabin you can actually use the space, toilet etc. it is fairly wide open vs having an enclosed balthroom
38 fountain, great running fast boat but not built quit as well as the others, fairly small boat in compairison, cabin is small hard to us the batheroom, would go to a 42 for a fountain
...............I'll take one of each please..............

I have stated before there are many virtues of the brand, but like Harley Davidson in the 80's if you don't evolve your customers will go elsewhere. How many Honda Goldwing owners do you think started with Harleys? How come the "other brands" sell boats to former owners of Cig? Under certain reasoning, once you own the legend there is nothing left to aspire to!

I understand the time to sell and hoped you saw my satire in that comment when comparing boats to Picassos.....

So Todd in your opinion if I owned a $20,000, 25 year old Cig then my opinion would be more valid commenting on a new 39? Would owning a old Cig "make me understand." What common denominator does any old Cig have with a new one other than the logo? If you want to push the "legend of Aronow" then remember he sold the company 30+ years ago, the company has had multiple owners and bankruptcies/lawsuits etc. so whatever legend is there is very small and is shared with every other brand of boat he once manufactured. How many Cig employees from the "glory years" are still left there manufacturing the boats today?

I really like the way that the cockpit is laid out on a new Cig, they do a great job. Although I would be a little concerned about somebody getting impaled on one of those gunwale grab handles, that design just makes no sense.
For me, I would have a hard time getting over the lack of a useable cabin in a Cig. The OL cabin is very luxurious, and for the kind of coin one of these boats cost that is what I want.
OL started building the 37 in 1993 and built it for like 8 years- to compare apples to apples you would have to look at the OL 37 vs. a mid 90's straight bottom 38 gun or an early design twin-step from 2000. Like I said, in my opinion theres is no contest. To compare the OL 37 to a 39 gun with 700's makes no sense.

True story; 2007 Key West Worlds; Sunday a.m.; getting ready to head back to Miami; seas forecast for 7-9's outside the reef; winds 20-30mph; I pull up to a 43 Nortech rafted up at the gas dock while waiting for Wild to gas up his 38TG. I compliment the guy on the 43 which was a beautiful boat; he says thanks its not mine, I'm just Captaining it for the Owner and today with this water I'd rather be in yours.
