As they are both outstanding boats. I would have to go with the TG. I have always loved the lines of the Cig.

 

i am a Cig man myself!!

absolutely love the TG

 

OuterLimits baby!

 

Same money-A 42 Fountain with 850 Sterlings with enough money left over for an alum MYCO Trailer and gas for a couple years.

 

Love 'em both but I would go with the OL since there are more Cigs around....I like to be different

 

Love both choices...but I think I would choose the OL!!

 

The day you pull up to a gas station with your boat and someone says, "Is that one of them Outerlimits boats?", I'll buy one.

 

Well said LS. BTW do you know what LSMFT stood for on the cig packages?

 

Top Gun all the way. especially on how much the OL breaks, all the people i know that have em are in the shop half of the supper. but but but, before i get some negative comments back, i would take the GTX of a cigarette.

NEW POLL IDEA--------
47 Outerlimits GTX or
45 Cigarette Maximus

i dont know the answer to that one myself, thats a tough one for me, maybe the cigarette beacuse no one has it yet. Its very different even though the OL dash looks like a Porsche on the inside, i love that.

 

I am biased.
I'll take the gun.

 

having make the decision myself.... I would take the OL - however I would not underestimate the technology and hull design of the Cigarette and the craftmanship and quality.

having owned both there is a little more attention to detail on the OL, but the difference is not dramatic.

 

Outerlimits

 

I voted but it's a toss up, I'd go for the classic but would not sweat it at all with the OL.

 

if i had the $$$$$$$$ it would be the 51 O/L

In the shop "half of the "supper""? Those are some faaaast mechanics

It's most likely that the OL's break more because they have big(ger) power than the Cigs you know of.

This is such an easy dream. Both boats are great. I want a cabin, so the choice is easy for me, and likely easy for most to choose their favorite.

A challenge is to say that you have the money to buy either boat, but could you refrain from buying one and not being in this crazy hobby? Now THAT is a dream. LOL!

 

Top Gun...............!

 

Depending where I boat, here for example, 1000 Islands, OL would be my choice. But if I were in the ocean lots, Cig. Having said that. I have never been on either, so a test drive may change my mind!

Are you talking the ne 39' Top Gun?

 

Well said LS. BTW do you know what LSMFT stood for on the cig packages?

Being a senior citizen, I know what the letters stood for originally. But we said, Loose Sweaters Mean Flabby Tittts.

 

I'm lucky enough to have been on both boats, and they both have their good points, but my favorite is the OL - more cabin room, side-by-side seating, and it flies through the rough instead of crashing through it... unbelievable ride! :a1:

Jeff, you can't compare 100% becuase you had a straight bottom TG. The new T/S is soo much different and soo much better than the old bottom.

My $.02

 

Even not having the dinero...I want a Top Gun. :winker:

 

I love both boats, but considering the features each one offer I would go with the OL because it has more headroom in the cabin.

I know ...... my Grandma used to smoke them

Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco

 

2 nice boats....To pick one or the other is a tough choice

 

The day you pull up to a gas station with your boat and someone says, "Is that one of them Outerlimits boats?", I'll buy one.

We think differently about that.

That is one negative for me about Cigs, is that you see so many, and everybody asks that stupid question. If someone asked me if it is a cigarette boat I would get to say nope, its not, then have the person look at me like I didn't know what I was talking about, and then I could have some fun with 'em. :laugher:

I like to have something different. They are great boats obviously, just not nearly as original as other boat brands. The other reason Cigs turn me off is the cabin, or lack there of. So my choice is OL.

If the Cigs had a full cabin, then they would definitely be in the top 3-4 boat choices!
