Ride, handling, speed, etc?

I've read the cigarette with triple 350's is about a 75 mph boat, seems about equivalent to the nortech doing 83 with 3- 400s

The speeds sound about right. My 39GTS with trip 300's is 70-71. I haven't ridden in a Nortech, but I love my Cig.

How does the boat ride in rough water? Ands is there any lay down area under the console?

Take a look at the 39 Concept - did a sea trial on one yesterday with a client. Excellent fit and finish, great ride. Was seriously one of the nicest center console boats I have been on.[ATTACH=CONFIG]564401[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]564402[/ATTACH]

The Nortech has a much better layout, ergonomics, and storage, the cig your paying for the name.

At the shootout there were alot of nortech and cig cc's running around... the amg cig with 1100s rode the flatest in the rough I thought. Most of the nortechs seemed to slap more than the cigs (could have been operator) but they both look amazing. The mti v I thought slapped alot as well? Observations from watching them all run by.

Edit - that concept looks sharp. price?

I would say that is a big stretch. The cig GTS is a beautiful boat that is also very well layed out and has a quality fit and finish.
