WOW, I'd love to take you shopping, so many options.
I would set up a lot of drives/rides with dealers over here in the states, and take them out and see what you like.
I'd love to ride shot gun while you're trying out these boats. I'm a FOUNTAIN lover, but there's a lot of neat boats to look at. Definately look at the Cig's, and Outerlimits, Nortech, If you're going cat, look at DCB, I think their finish is very hard to beat..... And of course Skater, they're darn hard to beat. So many options, you'll have a blast looking at and driving these boats. Have fun and keep us posted as to what you end up buying.

No worries, he starts every thread like this.
Shortly he will come back as an "expert" and tell you what he found through research.
I know you guys want to help, but you need to search Jim Darr on this site.
Name one time in your life that you remember someone coming to this site to buy their first $400,000 boat, with no friends with similar boats. Just a guy, that wants to buy his first 40ft + 100mph boat for 400k?

Are you looking new or used?
We just sent a brand new 37 Active Thunder down there last year, and the gentleman that took delivery of a new 33AT a few months ago plans to us it down thee as well.

Not hating at all. Is your 42 Tiger your FIRST boat?
Just cause you got the coin, don't mean you got the skills. Just trying to caution this guy on what a real "Gofast" can do. Yeah, if I had the dough I would LOVE to get into a boat like he describes, but not for my FIRST....
EDIT: Yeah 4bus, I was suspect as well. We'll see shortly.....

If I was looking to spend that kind of $, I wouldn't be asking you guys what fits the bill.
I'd also make it a point to get to the show.
Best place to see all the goods at one(a few) place.
