Don Aronow: King of thunderboat row - Brownie or Ed Cozzi question
I was scanning my copy of Don Aronow: 'King of Thunderboat Row' the other day. In the Cigarette section, they show a 20' model which is painted exactly like my 20 which is hull number CRT201060478. I wonder if that's my boat? Obviously, my is serialed as April '78. It talks about the 20 being introduced in 1977 but doesn't have a date on the picture.
Maybe Brownie or Ed Cozzi could shed some light?
Thanks, Barry

the first year for the "20" was 1972 and it was called a 19 that year we figure as a marketing thing on the sucess of the 19 hornet the next year 73 it was called a 20
from what we have gathered and pieced together over the last few years restoring what we belive to be the first one( oso member Cig 19's boat) produced , is that 3 were made in 72 and about 146 were made in total the boat has basically not changed over it life span some minor adjustments were made to the location of the seats when they went from SB power to BB power we found that out the hard way as the carpet pattern that built rite had didn't fit the seat pedistals didn't line up
there is a site also dedicated to it
www.cigarette20.com thanks to sean
were they are trying to get a database on all of the 20 made it is also a good place to get info on the annual 20 cig run

In 1973, the Coast Guard decided that all boats under 20' shall have positive flotation. 19' Cig, 19' Hornet, adios! Hello, 20' Cig, and 20' Hornet. Auntie Em, it's a miracle!
