I think survey is good idea.I bought a few performance boats my dad was a boater he always said sea trial a must or don't buy it!I did that and good thing I did!!!I knew what did or did not work!The dealer corrected it and I was happy!Over $100k bring expert survey on any performance boat !The guys on here also know about what drives can handle a good point!If I bought that Cigarette I whould bring or pay expert!

My point was Porsche used the same basic body shell from 1963 to1993, and has only tweaked it here and there since then (more recently to look more like the original lines). Sure they added bigger flairs, wheels, tires, etc, but the shell and even the interior/dash was more or less unchanged... much like the flat deck to current TG. Yes Porsche has gone from 110 hp to the more recent xxx hp, but likewise, Cig use to offer tiny power in the early flat decks and TG's compared to the 1350/1650's that can be installed today.

Like Harley, Ford Trucks, Marlboro, Cig has great brand recognition (the best in performance boats) but companies like OL are reinventing the game. Look at a 1998 37 Stiletto, safe to say you would never confuse that boat with any OL built in the last 5 years........constant evolution.

Actually, if you put a 1994 37 Stiletto next to a new 36 SL (or even a 37CC), you will see they are still the same basic hull with bottom tweaks, a restyled stern to facilitate the newer bustle, and of course updated paint. Same can be said of the older 42 Legacy, the boat is basically the same as the 44 SL, it just has different steps and the redesigned stern to accommodate the bustle. From a visual standpoint, the basic hull and deck are still very similar, it's just the addition of the bustle that has made them look different. Regardless, I fully understand what you're saying about OL continuing evolve...

EDIT: A perfect example regarding the same basic boat, just with a bustle. ;)

Some of the most awesome builds in recent years were Cigs (AM2, Rum Runner, Helios, any of the Marauders etc). But I haven't seen a 38/39 in a few years that was a showstopper like the stuff build in the TAOD years. Phil built a couple 42X's that were awesome but the last few Miami Show boats built were nothing special (38/39/42).

Jeff, I completely agree.

The owner might not have to get rid of it either, he could just be waiting till he gets the offer he wants. That being said it has been on the market a long time I would probably take it off the Internet for a while.

302, I would live to know where some of these T/S top guns in the 80's are. Nice T/S guns, even if they need top ends or a little paint are getting hard to find below 100. Would like to see the ones in the 80's. Curious what they look like. Probably Katrina specialtys!

gotcha on the PP/NT reference, I didn't realize it was specifically pointed at 302....

. Of course mine would have the "logo delete" package! :D.......one on each side, one on sunpad and that's it!.......None on each gauge, every seat, battery plates, handles, cabin pillows, cabin walls, toilet lid, swim platform, cooler, fuse panel or anywhere else they could possibly put one!

Want one on the porta potty lid ?

i disagree on the 37 stiletto vs 36 SL comparison. yes the decks are similar but the bottoms are nothing alike. thats like saying a ferrari is similar to a mazda miata because they both have 4 wheels and 2 doors.

What's the worst he can say no? Anybody who has a guy standing there with a check within 25% of their ask in this market should think long and hard.......
