thedonz,
We are looking for a full featured cabin with a good amount of storage. Max length 42'.

There is no question Cig is a great boat. We don't like the 42 because cockpit is small for a 42' and Cig cabins are bare bones.

Love Nortech 43' but it exceeds are max length.

Gotcha.... So it's not like the thing would fall apart on 3s or anything it's just a protective measure for the drives. How do the 42's handle in the rough ? They have a pretty nice cabin... Do they hold up pretty good ?

Whats your price range?
Are low hour 500 EFI's ok?
White hull Yellow and Purple Graphics work?

The boat has held up excellent, only 2 minor stress cracks, by the dash, and they were there at about 60 hours and haven't changed. The boat was good in the rough, it did porpoised alot. Comparing it to my 4300 Nortech, is like comparing a Caddilac vs a Chevy. No comparision at all, no creeks, groans , rattles and the Nortech is still faster, out accelerates it, handles the waves better, all with the same power, but different drives. My boat had TMP 750efis and #5's. It also has more headroom, much wider cockpit, and more usable space in the cabin, just my take on it, the 4300 is a larger boat than most people think, its 44'6".

Jeff,
We had a chance to meet Terry at the Miami show and he took us through the 43 he had there. He was very nice and helpful. We were really impressed with the boat. Lots of room and it is a bigggg 43'. Some day....

RV,
I think we spoke previously, but I have a 2001 42 with 500EFI's. Boat has 225 hrs, a/c, generator, northstar gps, big stereo, and has been lift kept since new. The boat is clean. It has yellow and purple factory paint that looks very good. Boat has been well maintained with oil changed every 20-30 hours and all other items professionally done. Anytime the boat has needed anything it has been done immediately. I do think I want to sell it this spring as we may be moving to another boat. I have my eyes on a couple of different things and would like to make a move. Check with stretchnout or farfrumwerken also as they both know the boat.
