Looking for new Go-Fast
 

Got turned on to this site and my first poker run and now I'm hooked. We sold our Tiara last fall and the wife almost killed me but I think she really likes the go-fast boats just as well. I'm looking to get into a performance boat this year and my search is just beginning so I thought this would be a good first post. I want something at least 38 ft. with reliable power and I don't like to get beat much so I need something that will get me out towards the front at a run, but still have some room on it as well.
What are some suggestions that you may have for a competitive new performance boater. Thank you, Chet.

Chet get a membership you'll get a ton more information if you can see the pictures

right on.


Where will you be boating most, new used. There are alot of variables but if you want big and fast I'll bet you'll get alot of OL,Top Gun, and apache suggestions,
BTW: welcome to the addiction.:D

We need to know how much you want to spend. I have the boat for you 2000 42 sonic. Gen. a/c, stand up head, 75mph ride's like a caddy.

I'm not as concerned with how much I spend as long as I'm happy with the performance of the boat. I am not looking for something that rides like a caddy either or I would have kept the Tiara . We need to be say in the 90 - 100 MPH group.

OK, you gotta give some kind of budget here, or otherwise you are going too have a bunch of ridiculous responses.

Do you like Catamarans or V-Hulls?
Would you like new or used?
Gotta give us a price range...
$ 80K-150K?
$150K-200K?
$200K-250K?
$250K-300K?
$300K on up?

What kind of boats did you ride on/see at your Poker Run experience?

Have a 2002 Cigarette Gladiator- Twin 500HP Mercruiser Racing Engines, Stamped & Sealed. Boat has 7 hours on engines sinceredone at CRE in Florida. Boat is brand new and on GPS is top speed 94.3 at Lake X.
@001 Triple axle Myco trailer also to go with it If interested let me know. Have other race boats , so I don't mind letting one go with today's economics.

46 Cigarette twin stagerd 1450 Sterlings $700,000.00
Any of these should keep you in front at a poker run.
When I said ride's like a caddy I just meant your not going to feel like you got hit by a truck at the end of the day.
The only thing my Sonic and your Tiara have in common are they both float.
I know a lot of people that have done just what you are doing and buy just because of MPH, if money is no problem you can go fast and have a nice ride.
Where do you boat, and what other 90-100mph boat's have you driven?

Dave:

Why are you already selling the Cig??????? BH

I know of two Active Thunders that are for sale that fit your criteria. These boats are both 90-100 mph floating condo's.;)
