The 24 Cigarette and the 24 Banana are the same boat and they have a 8 foot beam the other 24's you mentioned are 7 foot beams.
The original 24 Cigarette molds were sold to Charlie McCarthy, founder of banana boat by Don Aronow.....these became the start of the banana boat co. Later Don wanted to come out with a 24 again and he bought a blank hull from Charlie to use as a plug for the new boats, one being the Firefox and another being the 24 cat he made by splitting it down the middle.
Look over in the Banana boat stuff and in some our other posts, you can get a lot of info there.
good luck

They are GREAT boats.....more than capable of staying ahead of any other 24 in the big ocean stuff and they will surprise many 28 foot guys with twins in rough bay waters.
Notice ouor avatar.....that's a 24 foot banana with twin 300HP engines with TRS drives in the Benihana race in the ocean.
Banana's had stand up bolsters vs Cigarette that had seats....gave more of big boat handling edge. Excellent starter boat if you are thinking of moving to a 38 foot someday.
Anything else we can do to help let us know.
