Cigarette 24
Anyone on here ever do a rework or a makeover on the 1970's 24 footer that had the teak inlaid decks? I am getting ready to do a complete makeover and am looking for any and all ideas. I am planning on eliminating the teak and going with a smooth and clean profile deck and engine hatch. Thanks....Rob

That's to bad. That is what made that boat really unique. A little sanding and some polyuethane go a long way. My families first boat was a 24' with the teak decks.

My favorite 24 was the one built in the early 80's with the smooth deck. Both boats had the same hull. With the complete refit and repower (single screw) I am undertaking, I figure it's worth the efforts. Just my personal taste, that's all.

The Firefox has a 7 ft 4-1/2" beam and is 24 ft 3-1/2" long. The 24 built aprox. 1971-76 and early 1980's is 23 ft. 11" and has a beam of 7 ft 10".
