cigarette 38 2008 or nortech 4300 v
 

hey guys which one would you guys do 2008 cigarette with almost new 525 sand 2006 nor tech with almost new engines
thanxxxx

What power does the Nortech have? You should test drive them both, and see what you like.
I would pick the Nortech, but that is me.

nortech has triple 525 s

nortech!! :eekdrop:

I've been contemplating the same thing.

Just wondering about that center drive, its a heavy boat.

Talk to wrinkleface...he's got a lot of time in a 43 with tripple 525s, it was a nice running boat.

im not a fan of triples,but the nort would be my choice,that would ba a real wave masher.

Nice choices, 08 38 Cig or a 06 43 Nor tech? What price range? You might have some other interesting choices to add to the list. Never have blinders on with a purchase.

Not that you'll base your decision solely on this, but if you want a usable cabin, it has to be the Nortech.

The 43 Nor-Tech with twin 700s/NXT would be a much better choice. ;)

525's in a 43 nt

I don't like triples, but in this case, look at and drive both and see what boat works the best for you.

The advantage of having triples is this: You can run more efficient/faster with smaller power. They handle great and parking is easier with the triples. (your third engine works as a compensator to the two outside engines.) Your overall maintenance/cost is lower with the smaller engines than the larger twins to achieve the same speed.

I have found that most people that don't like the triples have never had them, This is not a dig, just an observation from a person who runs triples.

As far as comparing the boats themselves, both can be great setups, a test drive is the best way to see what feels right for you!

I see your point, but you still have another engine to take care of. I wouldn't pass the right boat because of it, but it still wouldn't be my first choice. Triples definitely are cooler, no doubt!

bravo's are just that.. Easy on the throttles..all the time..especially on the heavier boat...personally, not for me.. but...all other reasons to get the NT have been mentioned.


ya and #6 lowers are even better..:lolhit:

Both are amazing boats, whichever is the overall best bang for the buck will make you the most happy.

If you use your cabin a lot, Nortech

If not both are amazing.

Hey, I know those!!!! I have never ridden on a 38 Cig but the NT will B allloooottttt bigger! I went from a 38 Fastech 2 my 43 NT!!! I had 5 1/2 flawless(Michigan) seasons on my trip 525's & bravos! As Jazzer said U have 2 B careful & I really don't run my boats hard! I would C 90-91 on a good day, high 80's all day even w/ a heavy load!!! good luck, call me if U want, Tracy, 810-813-6321!!:daz:

I agree this is like the debate over 29-32' single or twins debate:party-smiley-004:On plane faster less strain on the drives easier to dock&faster:evilb:Maybe not in this comparison but triples when set up right are the ticket:whistle:
