Funny that I never bought one but that made me want a performance boat.

1975 Bonanza Tri-Hull with a 302 Ford (188hp), in about 1979. It was actually my folks boat, so I guess I can blame it on them.

Grew up on 13' whaler and a V20 Wellcraft.

Truthfully it was kind of this website that drove me to my CIG. I was researching boats thinking of buying a small cruiser type boat (25 Sea Ray or so) and found this site - started rummaging around and realized I needed a Go-Fast. After weeks/months of searching the classifieds I realized what I wanted. Bought the CIG and am hooked.

1983, a guy up the street from me bought a new 30 Sutphen Ocean Pacer. It was the baddest thing in town.

Up here in the northeast, Sutphens ruled. There were very few Cigarettes in these parts. It was early 90's before I actually saw a Cigarette where I grew up.
