Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought he was comparing "new" boats...

There are many great riding hulls in the go-fast world.

Pick what you like and enjoy.

I am out, like I said, they are both very nice boats, and if you want to get put in touch with the source, PM me. If it were up to me, I would drive both boats, give both Tim and Pat the opportunity to sell you a boat, and make my decision based on what they come up with.

I hear ya, my bad.

That about sums it up!

Now, what happened to the thread starter? Did he tire of all the cult bravado??

Fun thread!

Did you send him info on yours before he disappeared?

Hey guys, all in good fun here. Its winter in CT. and everyones goin crazy waitin for spring. No disrespect to anyones boats, their all nice boats. Just makin a few points and backin the "Family"!

Last year, we were fortunate enough to take The "Ride" at the Miami boat show. I have to tell you I and my wife were very impressed with the AT.

I have ridden in many different boats, and it comes down to a choice of cost vs bang for the buck for us.

All boats have high points and lows. I have been a Baja owner for many years, we have had from the small to now the 40, as our availability to go bigger came, we stepped up.

My next progression I saw was the 2 boats you are compairing here.

My take: The AT first, GOOD solid ride, I really like being able to work directly with a family owned builder (that personal touch). The styling, colors and layouts of materials are directly to the specs YOU want. And cost for return, VERY good. Down side: resale to the open market, no matter how great a boat is, if people don't know what it is, they are not even going to consider it.

The Cig: BEAUTIFULL, attention to detail is amazing, go fast at it's best in my opinion. Easier to sell once you are tired of it, everyoine knows and respects the Cig line. Down side, being considered one of those Cig owners!!!(just kidding) and cost is much more.

Had we been able to sell our boat last year (obviously we all know the market) We were ready to buy/order the AT. It too would be the stepping stone like the Bajas we have had over the years, but eventually the CIG is still the one we strive for in the end.

I guess the bottom line is, it is YOUR money, what gives you the best "feel" when it is all said and done. Do you have the stepping stone mentality, or is this the final boat purchase?

Either boat, would look great in anyones stable!!!!!

For what it's worth, I stopped at the Cig plant unannounced. I told them upfront I was just curious and tire kicking. They could not have been nicer. They gave me a full tour. The guy with the hat was my tour guide. Very knowledgeable and a wizard with the upholstery. Also; I have had the privilege of a ride with Pat in Pompano. The 37 rocks.

I say in this day and times be glad you can have any of the above mentioned boats, hit the water party and have fun , after all isint that why we pay the big money for these awsome machines. If we all had the same boat!! well that would just suck so enjoy and party on.

they are both great boats been in both, never felt a AT CHINE WALK, can't say that about cigs or any other boat .we never had a cw in any water with steves 33. cigs do get stress cracks seen some on two 31s and 35cafes I looked at over the last 10yrs up here they were ocean running cigs. made in the late 80s. I think the new owner of cig has taken them to another level. AT has always been at that level weather its the 28/32/33/37. The 33 I had the most time on in all water calm to 6footers or so. a few block island runs. trouble now is the AT is just as good but 150 to 200 k less unless cig dropped some pricing. BUT 1 of my favorite boats is a old school 38tg loving looking down the bow from from the front bolsters high 80s. so unless cig was with in 50 k it would be a AT. OLs are nice but to much cake, I loved the old 37s ol.good luck steve hope you get a 39 to replace the 33 next year. if I get another boat after the 28saber it will be a used tg38,37at,37ol . its just I wanted a blown boat 1st. hey if you order new I would go with konrad ace drives and custom efi 800hps on either hull save some cash or go merc 700nxts with these size boats. and being able to go a 100 plus.
