Cooler means faster speeds

True, last time i was on a fast[ish] boat in cold weather was in your part of the world-[read: horizontal snot-sicles]. btw-is Hammerheads and the Raven still open on the strip? [Atlantic Ave] Havent been up there in awhile, used to live near Lynnhaven.

The Raven is still there. Icon of 30-40 years!
Not sure if Hammerheads is still there. I've never been there even though I do know where it is.

Got the Cig in the water for the first time[as the owner], they're a little rare here- had 3 cars stop and bs at the gas pumps. Ran great, a few of the gauges that worked at LOTO didnt work today, kept an eye on the ones that did, and had a great [half] day, got caught in scattered showers. New trailer worked well, we're cleaning her stem to stern tomorrow. Sending the cushions to the upholstery shop in the next few weeks [planning on waiting until it turns colder], read the thread about the Cigarette patches and logos, anybody got a jpg? Best gauges-Livorsi? Havent done any research yet, also thinking of replacing the compass with a chartplotter-has anybody done that, there is really no sheltered place for a gps, unless Im really missing something-Any advice would be helpful!

Funny you should say change out the compass with a chartplotter. That's also on my wish list, but way down the line. There was a thread on here that has done that and it really looked clean. Do a bullet search here and you should find it.

I am puttin my gps where the compass is flushed in.

damn you guys are helpful! Thanks, I had looked but couldnt find the thread.

That's not the thread I was talking about even though it was a good one. Keep looking, it's there somewhere.

Ok, The expedition has NOTHING for this boat! Going look at superdutys, the cabin redo mya have to wait till spring.
