theres a lot of builders out there right now that will build a 30-35ft boat with 525's for mid $200K's, so unless cigarette is willing to do that, I dont think it would be worth even trying to get into that market.

The 39 provides a stagger arrangement which i'm sure eats into some of the cockpit & cabin room that a 38 has. The 38 molds paid for themselves many times over, so why junk them. They can offer customers two "different" boats at basically not much of a cost difference.

Cigarette tried making another 30' boat called the Vice. I think they stopped producing it after maybe two years because i thought i read they said it cost the same amount or very near same money as the Top Gun, so not much a demand. If a 30' cost them that much to produce, i'm sure a 35/36 would be same issue.

Unfortunately Cigarette is a high end builder who doen not really caer about a triered (Entry Level, Middle, High) customer base. They could build the boats cheaper if they wanted to but it not part of their business model.

The Vice was a bust at best, poor handling because of the step placement and way over priced.

All the money they have put into the other models and configurations could have ben better spent improving on the the 35,38,42,46 models they had.

My opinion is that all the pretty colors and bells and whistles aren't worth anything without a good base.

exactely, its just not their thing. you wouldnt ask your roofer to pour your foundation would u???????????????????

A little late to this party, but haven't seen it listed yet. Hope to have her on the water next month.

Wow I havent seen that boat in a long time I wanted to buy #27 Really liked it.

Is 76 still available that boat was for sale a while ago. Or 77.

I haven't seen them for sale in Years!!

Agreed - and I can only assume with the VICE the margins were horrible, considering it costs them "about" the same thing to build as a TG, yet it sold for 6 figures less. I wouldn't build it either.

There are two cafe's in the BVI. I think #43 is one...didn't see the other one list. Sorry...no pix.
