Who else made a 36 that was very similar to a 36 widebody Cig. Mirage? Bertram?

Mirage was an 8 1/2 beam the cigarette was 9.3 beam. Even though he listed it at 8.5. Not sure on the Bertram but you can google it.

Team Archer

First thing that is not an 1982 boat it's a lot older than that. first non cresent drives second the older Cigarette's didn't have HIN stamped in the transom my 72 28 had a plack inside the transom.

seems like a lot of parts/stuff for the money. i would leave the cig logo on the side. bring it home get it running, then beat it to death!. at the point sell the parts and tell a lot of story's. lol.

That's kind of the plan.

I said worst case is we cut if apart and make 3 really cool beach bars.

I did find out that it was donated at one point to the boys club of Jacksonville FL and was auctioned off. I have a feeling it IS/WAS a cigarette and then got re-titled for some reason or other. I highly doubt this was built in someones garage. I sure it is possible .

I had the exact same thoughts.

The 80's boats usually had glass not a wind screen and the lines of the boat look more like early 70's than 80's. Also the previous owner said it had some plaque on the dash with the VIN number and the same in the transom.

Thanks for all of the responses.

Ok so I made the drive down to buy this boat and ended up coming home with an empty hitch.

The bad news is she is rotted pretty bad and will need all new stringers floors ect. The drives and all the other components with the boat were suspect to say the least. It was probably worth the money just for the parts but I wanted a least a good starting point and it just didn't make sense for me.


The good news............The boat was/is an old 36 staggered widebody race boat most likley an early 70's boat. I would love to figure out which one it is. We could see the side exhaust holes and the deck was a paper thin race deck, no coring at all. I really hope someone that can do the glass work themselves will buy it and restore it as there are only a handful of these left. The CRT HIN number is gone if there ever was one. But the boat does have a clear title. It is not titled as a Cigarette but it does have a title.

If anyone is interested in this contact me and will get you all of the info that I found out.

I will keep searching. If anyone knows of a 36 staggered widebody for sale please let me know.
