Default Just the facts....

Fellow boating enthusiasts,

After a 12 year absence (its amazing how life gets in the way of having fun) I am doing my homework to purchase my next go fast. Previously I owned a ‘00 32’ Sunsation and the only complaint I had was the sun pad was to small. I have always admired Cigarettes (TG), Fountains (light and EX) and Outerlimits (Quattro and legacy) which I am looking at either a 38’ or 42’ in said models.
I am hoping to hear the pro’s and con’s of cabin head room, ride/performance, amenities etc...no detail to small. I could answer my own question if I had all 3 makes sitting in the water and test drives were an option. I am assuming 2x 525’s or better for power. I am asking for your knowledge and opinions. I thank you in advance and it feels good to be back on Offshore Only!

Of those choices, 42 OL is top dog. Ride, cabin and cockpit space, cabin amenities.

I enjoy these thread, fun to see how people promote their own favorites and (occasionally) have a dig at the opposition.

They're all beautiful boats, if it were me, I wouldn't need to ride any of them, I'd just crawl over a couple of each and see which one suits me best. Then I'd probably buy the one that looks nicest on the water!

I agree Dock but that is the also the most expensive, lol. Just making sure OL isn’t over rated and I’m not missing something in other makes n models. They say “pics don’t do it justice” but if OL is half of what the pics show I’m sure it’s worth the money.

I am a little biased, but when it comes to quality and build materials, layup, rigging o/l is far and above the others. Epoxy resin, foam core, no wood (2004 and newer). Cigarette builds a great boat also, but the current market prices seem a bit inflated to me.

39 Quattro just came up for sale in the classifieds. Good price . And you can’t go wrong with a 42 legacy.

So much subjectivity, but for me I just can't get over the look of the CIG's.....

In the $200k range you can buy a nice 42 OL that will run 100mph with full cabin. The one listed on here for $189k is a deal. Or, you can buy a Cig with a couple lounges and 525's for the same money. The 42 will ride better and is faster but will require more maintenance. Both are out of my price range and both are awesome boats.

Cig and OL are both awesome boats and with same power will run close in speed. A 42x with 700's will run 100 and a 42 lagacy with 700's will run 105.
Anything bigger than 700's and you better have a fat checkbook for maintenance. I love my 42 Tiger but the cabin in the legacy is way nicer.
