I believe ive seen your boat somewhere before. It was either in the 1000 Islands or Lake George. Anyways is was the nicest 357 i've seen. Now the older formulas like yours ride very well!! My Dad had a 402 SR1. Im sure you'll get your Cigarette soon!!

Yea we toured Nor-Techs factory and fell in love with Stu Jones's new 39 with 700's. Then I found a dealer with the 39 Cig on there lot and fell even more in love with that. But if we are going to spend this much on a boat, I want to make sure its the right boat and exactly what we want. It would be pretty cool to tour the Cig factory too. I cant even imagine all the choices when building one from scratch with colors and options. Over whelming

We got the 382 for a great deal with 100 hours on it. It was our first off shore boat and we wernt ready to invest $650k on a new top of the line boat. We have had it for a year now and absolutly love it, but want to be able to hang with the big boys now. I dont expect a 39ft boat to handle the same as a 50 footer, just curious how the 39 handles the rough. We will be at the Miami boat show looking at Nor-Techs and Outerlimits as well. The formula is a nice quality boat, but we are looking for more speed and more of an exotic boat

I have an 08' Cig 39 w/700's and love it! I have been in several 35 and 38 Formulas and they are a very nice boat. I do think the differences you will notice with the Cig over the Formula will be a drastic improvement in acceleration and a better balanced and handling boat. The top speed on the Cig will be approx 10mph faster with the same power. The 39 Cig's are a killer rough water boat. I have had mine out in some very snotty stuff and was very impressed with it and this is our 5th Cigarette we have owned.
Hope this helps.
