OK, I guess no one wants to volunteer to put it together. I'll go ahead and step up to the plate. When/If each of you has a few minutes, could you please send me the following info via PM on this website? I'll put it together onto a spreadsheet with links to photos. It would be interesting to have the info in a single place to seek info or to talk to a "Bullet Buddy".

Any name you chose (real or nickname) but prefer real
email address
General boating area (ie Keys, LOTO, Hampton Roads, etc)
Phone Number (optional)
HIN number
year
power
drives
props
Speed
Mods and or upgrades
1 to 3 pics of boat (Claymates accepted)

I do not plan to put the info on this or any site, but provide each Bullet owner a copy if desired. I, for one, would like to see how close to 68 we can get! Anyone interested?

Start sending!

Nice looking boat. I love the classic paint lines. I'm not really keen on the paint jobs of newer boats that look like a LSD trip.

Also a beautiful backdrop behind the boat!

PM me your info

OK guys....Winter is already going slow enough that the Cig forum here needs to pick up more. I've only gotten a couple of responses to the info that I was requesting from all Bullet owners. Come on and show some Bullet Spirit. Give me something to do or it's going to be one long-ass winter!

I'm still planning to make the info into a spreadsheet in an effort to complete as much of the production history of the Bullets. I plan to make it available to only Bullet owners that request it and are on in the database.

Please provide the following via pm or email:

How's that new boat runnin' ? Been able to put much time on her ? Any luck on the gel work? That rig might have been the buy of the decade. A very nice boat.

Splashed the boat once since i got her, brought her in for oil change, lower unit, impellers, etc. Figured winter was starting, shouldve known better- its 74 degrees today. I promised myself i wasn't going to take her out again until the new guages are in, but i dont know if i have the willpower. Havent touched the gel coat though, engine maintenance, guages and new cabin upholstery are ahead. So far, nothing unexpected.

You could really help some of us older Cig project boat owners by posting project pics and ballpark prices thru the winter as you get mods done and what problems you have. I wish our weather was still at 74. I'm jonesn' for a boat fix and winter has barely started! On my long list, I have new gauges and upholstery work also. Right after indicator cables, props and hopefully external steering.

You should plan a summer vacation up this way around one of our poker runs
Cigs are usually well represented, but I'm the only Bullet.

The wife has taken only a few pics of the boat since we got it, but as soon as we get the boat out of the shop ill post a few before pics. Having the oil changed in the engines [royal purple], ive never used that stuff before, but the mechanic swore by it, gear lube in the lower unit, impellers, apparently i had torn up the bearings in the water pump, so theyre putting in a new water pump, macerator pump, all the filters, and a complete "once over" its running between 1800-2000. The Livorsis with a new dash panel are going to run 2500-3000. Still waiting on an upholstery quote, I have to sell a few more houses before i can get the upholstery done!
Im planning to head to the LOTO shootout with the boat next year, might be able to get back to VA beach late summer or so. I'll post pics as the updating continues, I wish i had the time to do more of the stuff myself.

I realy liked this dash layout on my old Bullet..The monster guages are much easier to read on the fly. I had a CPS speado but would use a GPS instead if i did another.
And YES you are over 10k towing these things. A Bullet is a HUGE 31 footer...Enjoy !
