Good rough water hull....... (The Apache 41 is a GREAT rough water hull).
Performance is right up there with the rest of the 8' wide, vacuum bagged, stepped vees (yawn).

You must really hate Cigarette's!! (You bash them constantly with a vengeance) Those are some pretty harsh words. Cigarette must have done you wrong sometime(must have been their ****ty a$$ customer service) I think the Cig and Skater are both great boats, and I also think they cost way too much money and both lose alot of money from depreciation.
I think you're right about no comparison, you really can't compare "apples to apples" in this situation. I do, however think that they are both the best of what you can buy in their prospective markets.

Today, the vacuum bagged, stepped hull, spray painted, graphically elaborate creations remind me of a 57 Chevy...with a computerised vortec engine in a showroom with rap music coming out of a state of the art sound system.... kind of a neat gimmick...but more nostalgic then up to date.
As far as any issues with the Cigarette company....how can I have any?...The company has changed hands like a whore at the Bronx terminal market since Aronow originally sold it...and bought it back...and sold it...and bought it back......ad nauseum.
Buy the Skater.....at least the company you buy it from will have the same ownership during your second season with the boat.
Toodles......................
