41ft Cigarette???
 

What was the deal on the 80's 41ft Cigarette? Are there any still around? Pics?? Are they sport boats or cruisers?

Just curious.

There are still a few... :cool: This one - 'Come on America' came to Oklahoma when new, disappeared a few years and came back. Sold last year to the second owner. Cat diesel's...about 55 mph.

Is'nt that diesel jobby that has been for sale for ever grey with the fishing top over the cockpit a 41'???

We looked at buying that boat last Summer. We were going to bring it down to Florida and refurbish it for an ocean/booze cruiser. It was a little too old for what they had it priced at.

They are still around, in fact I have one. 55 mph is about right. This is my first performance type boat. I know its not a 100mph boat but my other boat is a 38000lb steel tug(max speed 10mph)http://www.boatnerd.com/pictures/spe...06-19-04mn.jpg, so just being on plane is a big improvement. I got it back in 1997 and have steadily become more familiar the the boat and mechanics primarily because of OSO. So here is a little from what I have learned over the years. I believe they were built from 1981 to 1986. Originally powered with cat 3208T(350hp) and an out drive similiar to a #3. Problem was at 18000lbs and all the torque the drives were a problem. Over the years they upgraded the drives to Arnesons and bumped up the Cats to 3208TA(375hp). IMO 41 has more in common with the Magnums and Carys. Generator, A/C, hot and cold running water. Enclosed head/shower, TV, microwave and such. To be honest I never use any of that stuff. I just like to run the boat when time permits. I will say the economy of diesels make allot of sense lately. Cruise is 42-45mph burning 17-19gph per side. Not too shabby for dragging around a studio apartment. If memory serves, I believe the factory said a total of 26 were made during this time. I could be wrong and welcome any corrections.
I'm kinda embarrassed to disclose that when I first started looking for a gofast to knock around in I didn't know the difference between a Wellcraft Excalibur(sorry I had to pick the name of a similar boat I looked at)and a Cigarette with Cats Arnesons and Rolla wheels. Better lucky than good. I love the boat. I would be interested in the asking price for the other 41 that was for sale. So few get sold it's hard to get and idea what the general value is.

Holy crap I just got a link to post through of the tug. never been able to do that. Now I need to get a scanner for a couple of the Cig pics.

Re: 41ft Cigarette???
 

I think, & TwinStep correct me here if need be, they were asking 89K. I heard it sold for the upper 60's.

Re: 41ft Cigarette???
 

The asking price is correct. I never heard what it went for. :drink:

Thanks for the numbers. Not trying to shift the thread. I have always been interesed in the 35OS w/diesels. I have only seen 1 pic in a Cig book I mistakenly loaned a friend 5 years ago. I memory serves, it looked the same beam as the 41 and I believe they had Cats as well. In the pic it looked awsome. But I have never seen one come on the market.
