What's your idea of the perfect PERFORMANCE boat?

My perfect boat would be Sunsations new 36 Dominator open bow with side by side ilmor 710's for nice big cockpit ,A/C , refridge etc... The perfect blend of useability and performance
 
What makes the 39 more desirable than a 42x? I think i would rather have a 42 or 46x. Since i cant afford either, might as well add 7-11' in length to what i have now.

Haha, I would rather have a 46 than the 39 as well, but in my own criteria for the thread, I had storage & transporting the boat as a bullet point. The 46 would take a big dock, big lift, & big truck, where the 39 would require a fairly average model of the three. The 39 running the 700's also runs comfortably over 100 as reliable as you could ask for.

I'm not sure I'd want the 42X over the 39 Unlimited. The 42 is no doubt a nice boat, I just think I like the 39 a little better.
 
Something that runs every weekend wo break downs! YEA RIGHT:smash:

So true, So true, but still not quite 'perfect'.

One that doesn't break down and also has a copy of BLee's gas card number written down in the cuddy - PERFECT!:bump:.
 
Assuming for a minute we're going to shed the towing/launching/rack-storing issues, the ideal boat for me would be in the mid-40' range and have diesels and a bow thruster. It would cruise all day in the mid-60's and use fuel at about half the rate as gas. Top out in the low-80's.
 
Yeah - that Rough Rider that was a TWIN STEP with a full cabin including an enclosed bathroom that was in the CIG section a few months ago was my ultimate CIG.

Are you talking about the one that was at Harrison Marine about 6 months back with no motors or drives?

I've been thinking about that boat, would make an awesome next project. Anybody know where it ended up?
 
For ease of towing, storage, overall reliability and looks I would have to say either a 39 Cig TG w/ 700's or the OL Super Leggera w/700's. I love the canopy boats but if you are alone and pulling into a dock the stand up boats make it much easier.

That's the one - some guy bought it and I believe he already had some motors and 6's for it. It fell in good hands but it is my ultimate CIG and it also had great colors.... I just loved the boat. Maybe years down the road when I am ready to make a move it will be for sale
 
All Around good time...

Always thought a 34' Advantage Party Cat with 725's and Indy's would be a fun perfromance/party boat. With this power its fast enough and big enough to poker run, holds plenty of people, huge stereo possiblities and has a bathroom onboard. Still throwing the idea around for the lake boating and few Pacific Runs I do.
 
i would dig a new style 32' skater with 1075's. Probably some insane acceleration and could handle a decent amount of water, and still trailerable without much problems.
