Which Cigarette would you buy?
As some of y'all know, I am beginning the process of buying my next boat. While I would love to own a Cigarette, I have to stay under $60K. Here are 4 Cigarettes from the Classifieds that are 30-feet (or longer) and under $60K.
1989 31' Bullet for $39,000
1986 35' Cafe Racer for $49,500
1986 36' Mirage for $49,000
1986 38' FLATDECK SE for $55,000
I welcome any and all opinions. If anyone has seen (in person) any of these boats, please give me your two-cents...
Thanks!

I'm not a Cigarette expert but the Mirage looks like a good buy. Anyone know anything more about them? I hear about top guns and cafe's all of the time but never heard of a Mirage. Just curious, don't mean to hi-jack the thread.

Nice choices Clay, all good boats for the price. I think I've seen that cafe at my marina before, but I think it had blower motors in it so it may be a different one. I like the cafe the best, it looks the cleanest.

Re: Which Cigarette would you buy?
looks like all great choices...
-how are replacement parts for the mirage? are OEM replacement parts easy to acquire in you neck of the world?
What type of boating are you planning on doing (lakes, rivers, bays, open ocean) and are you planning on trailering much?do you have a tow rig to support the heaviest of the choices which may be the 38 fd?
Good luck
