39 Cigarette GTS or 39 NorTech Sport

Since I fish mine, I definitely wanted all the extra space in the back. The 2nd row definitely steals a lot of real estate so I opted against it. However, it is a pretty sweet cruising/poker run set up. My cooler slides out and you can sit facing bow (not a full view) or facing aft but at least you're comfy and protected. The XL hard top is a must!. Dive door is standard on 39+

I like both boats but for whatever reason the Cig center consoles seem to sit in the resale market longer than the Nortechs. Which is the total opposite of the performance boats where Cig resale is about the best out there.

I agree on the cigs sitting longer. Some of it is there are far fewer cigarettes, so when someone wants to sell, they are putting an over inflated price on them. I bought mine right, and I’ll sell it right, but only if I can grab something wholesale. I’m a firm believer, if you want to sell, do whatever it takes to make it go away. I sold my Sonic, for the price of the 1100’s, and never looked back .

In the market to purchase a center council boat for my place in fort myers beach.
Any advice on the pluses or minuses on a 39 NorTech or Cigarette would be appreciated.
Here’s a few links to possible boats I’m looking at.

I have rode in a 39 GTS, seems bigger and not as fast as a 39 NT but it could of been the one I was on.
Both are great boats and of the 4 links above they are all super nice boats.
Good Luck with your search.

GatorMD,
Beautiful NT, love the colors and your option list....
Really off the wall question do you have an option when building what side the dive door can go on?
Thanks and enjoy it!!

as many have stated. Both great boats. I think resale for NT is much higher and overall suited my needs. Cigarette however, does carry the heritage.

I think the OP buying a boat for the SW Coast of Florida and having NT there would be ideal. I also think NT's can be sold to the fishing crowd, the Cig offerings can't which is likely why they take longer to sell used. Cig also took longer to perfect their CC, the original Top Fish idea (wide beam) wasn't as popular as the newer GTS narrow beam.
I could care less about fishing but love the NT 39 with the dual bolsters/triple 400s and the longer t-top. I walked on the 45 when it first came out and while it is stunning, it isn't worth over double the money as a 39 triple boat.
