I think I can alleviate the money problem by letting someone else absorb the first ten years of depreciation. Of course, I may be buying a Top Gun to work on rather than a Top Gun to drive.

thanks for all the information. I know I didnt start this thread but I am lookin at moving down to Florida early next year and bringing my boat with me. 24 Baja 240 Sport. With a 5000 lbs dry weight and 100 gallon tank, it usually rides pretty good. But I know I will need something bigger. Now I just need to figure out how to pay for it.

LOL! (much in common)

If I go with something smaller and my wife still complains about the ride, I'll be wishing I got the Cig. If she still complains about the Cig, at least then I face the fact that she's destined for a lonely life on land.

Moved up to 30' just recently only for the wifey of course and she doesn't like the color of this one :rolleyes: 'Lonely life on land' looks like the choice for her :( I'm really hoping she just gives it a chance before she makes up her mind to hate it ...... some get it .. and some just don't

Can't go wrong with that 38 TG
