Awesome. Keep telling us how good of shape that thing is over and over and keep making us regret not buying it.

Beautiful boat. I bet I have at least a few old Powerboat Mags with stories on her in my attic. I even remember when Powerboat Mag had it for sale sometime in the 90's I think.

magcig,

well im basically living in cedar grove. im not really sure where im going to run her yet because i dont know of any great boating spots. i figured i could run her around sandy hook since thats probably the closest or the hudson. If i get her all done and tested im going to try to make the hudson poker run in june 20th. its suppose to be a big turn out and a great experience.
Is you cig rigged for just three people as well? Any photos? if so PM me and ill give you my email.
Have you taken yours out this season?

Congrats and good luck with it Fever. Did you get all the documents also? I looked at it when it was on Rout 41 North of Tampa.
I think it was a pretty good buy for what yuo got it.
