1985 Gigarette Flat Deck
Well I have finally arrived. I am now a member of the Cigarette family. I bought the 85 Kevlar flat deck in the classifieds. I am going to put the power from my 43 Scarab into the Cig. If you know anybody who wants a great deal on a 43 Scarab hull with genny and air I am in the mood to deal.
Can't wait to get started on the conversion. The power I have are 605's making about 725 hp straight motor. I am couriuos to see what kind of speed I can out of this classic with this power. I will keep you updated, the scarab ran 72 on GPS in cold air and that boat weighted close to 15 thousand pounds wet.

Did you buy Don Sherk's boat, from Steve? If you did, I have #3A drives for sale.
I have a 1984 flat deck with twin PSI supercharged 1100hp engines. If you need any help or want to talk, give me a call.

Hi Gary ,yes I did . Do you know Don or Steve, Do you have any insight with the boat? I am planning to transfer the power and No III drives from my Scarab, but would consider an upgrade if the the price was reasonable. This is my first Cig , my first offshore was a 30 Formula 302 a great boat just a bit small , my next boat was the 43 Scarab an superb boat but just a bit big. The Cig is the right size and the old school style is really what I wanted. Why don't you post some pictures of your boat I would love to see it . Here is my flat deck.

Well I finally got it in the water in August. Here are a couple of pictures one in the water at my marina and the other at night after I installed new hatch lights.
