New Powerboat Magazine Teague quote
Teague states that the 39 Midnight Express is the best handling rough water boat they've tested this year. They've tested the 39 Cig Top Gun this year and the Outerlimits quattro. The Cig and Outerlimits have steps and are lighter. The Midnight Express has a straight V and is heavier.
Which made the bigger difference, weight or the steps? |

Which made the bigger difference, weight or the steps? And , don't forget ... there's a HUGE difference in perceived "ride" from 60 to 90 . The water is much "softer" at the slower speeds . Bet the folks at Midnight Express are passin out copies of PBM at the Miami show this year !???!?! :D |
Re: New Powerboat Magazine Teague quote
weight and beam make the diff in ride... steps afffect the ride very little

Re: New Powerboat Magazine Teague quote

Dreamer, the Outerlimits is a wider beam too isn't it? |
Re: New Powerboat Magazine Teague quote
Midnight Express is a beautiful boat, most are sold to US Customs. You can get the 39 with quad 300s on the back of it.

Re: New Powerboat Magazine Teague quote
Was the Midnight Express Egg beater driven? if so what? The wright up on the Four Horsemen was quite an article. After reading it you would have thought they reinvented the wheel

Which made the bigger difference, weight or the steps? I bet his unbiased opinion on Teague drives would be just as valueble to buyers. :eek: :eek: |

Re: New Powerboat Magazine Teague quote
I think, If this is the type of boat the individual is looking for the Midnight Express is ahead of the pack. But no way can one compare it to any other type of boat.

Customs used to use Cig Flat Decks to run down drug runners, so why wouldn't you see them use TGs if they thought they were better? |
Re: New Powerboat Magazine Teague quote
Interesting enough, my buddy, designed the hull for that 39' Midnight Express! He has ridden in the boat, said it does handle the rough water very well!

You can also factor in that outboards are far less of a mechanical issue than an I/O. The patrol boats are meant to be durable, practical, reliable, roomy, and agile. Still an apples to oranges comparison considering the needs of the patrol. :cool: |

Re: New Powerboat Magazine Teague quote
Good Morning!
Mr. Teague's words were greatly appreciated by us here at Midnight Express. Anyone who wants to look at our newest model, it will be making its debut at the Palm Beach Boat Show, March 18th. 37'x11.5' twin step bottom. |
