and you wouldn't dare call it a cig.

That´s honestly a problem...the feds surely would´ve liked to look into the bookkeeping of the companies at least.
If the History of the boat isn´t known by the current owner he´d go with the prefix and hoopla it´s a Cig.
Exporting a Squadron with a CRT prefix or vice versa would certainly be a problem if not impossible considering US Customs...even taking one abroad (Mexico/Canada) for a Holiday would end up in a disaster or ??

not realy i bought my in canada and had no problems

When Aronow repurchased Cigarette, he continued producing the 27 as a CRT boat, not an XEX. He titled them as Cigarettes- Squadron XXII was essentially a model designation.

Howabout the Cigarette 39 Squadron then...did it come before or after the buying of Cigarette?
I´ve seen a Cig ad for a 39 Squadron that looks almost as the 39 XII but the windshield is V-shaped like in the 35 Cig Mistress.

[MikeyFIN]

Here´s the ad...was this model in the lineup before the Sale of Cig 1979 or after Dons backbuy of 1982/3?
Here the windshield is like in the Mistress but the pleasure version of SquadronXII 39 has a straight Deflector like in a 35 Awesome

OK, finally went and checked out what dry martini is marked...
XEX.
How'd these boat run compared to the TG's of the day.

Thanx for your effort.
According to Bobby Saccenti XII´s rode harder because of the wider strakes (3/4 of an inch?) they have compared to a Cig (Racing of course)?
* I´ve always thought they were identical hulls...
A pleasure boater never finds the diffrence I´d say.
