Need some help...73 cigarette
MY buddy called, were going to look at a 73 cigarette boat. The boat is original sitting in a garage for the last 12 years, It is a center console with 2 inline 6cylinder motors. Needless to say, because there is not a whole lot of these around, either him or the seller have know idea what it is worth. If anyone has any info on this boat that would like to share, that would be awesome. This was not a conversion the someone did, the owner purchased the boat brand new in 73.

They are very cool boats and very functional. As for value, a guy on OSO had a nicely restored 28 fish for sale here a couple of years back for around $45K. You couldn't restore it for that price. So unrestored and today's AWFUL boat market probably $5K or less. If it is solid (no transom or stringer rot) encourage your buddy to do it, they are very cool and 5,000 pounds of fun. If you have further questions, let me know.

This one has not been in the water since 1999. I guess there was some electrical that needed to be done. Everything was pulled and that is were the project ended. From what my buddy says, interior, hull, is all in great condition. Lets just hope something happens so we can see this gem back out on the water were she belongs!!!

Values on older boats like this are very subjective. Also depend upon condition. Are the engines frozen or were they fogged? The fuel tanks will need to be flushed. The hull is a great design and a wave crusher.
