1981 Cigarette Mistress 33
History of the Flat Deck

I have a 1981 33' Flat Deck Cigarette. What is the history of the flat deck halls? I have never been able to find out much information.

Where they ever used as DEA boats. I was told this was the 10 boat sold to the DEA. How does that jive with the "blue thunders"?

Is there any good way to research the history, like car fax for boats?

Thanks

Call the Cig factory with the HIN. If they ever actually answer the phone they can tell you who it sold to originally.

Can't say I ever saw any Customs boats that small. That doesn't mean it couldn't have been sold to any number of Fed, state or local LE agencies for any number of uses. DEA boat is sort of a catch-all.

Post some pics.

Hey, I need to see some pics of your boat. We may have the same model. Mines a 1979 Cig 33 Limited Edition and there's very few of the 33's still around and I've only seen one other. Brownie says they used either a stretched 32 or a cut down 36 to make our 33's.

Mines a Cig. HIN starts with CRT. If my memory serves me right, the Squadrons XII's were 27, 32 and 39's.

That's the only one other 33 that I've seen. They want something like $39K for that one. Hell, I'd let mine go for that!
