Remember the days when we could race in a production class offshore race .........and then run the same engines for the weekend over to the Bahamas .......with no problems at all.

Of course we were not as sophisticated back then, but we did a lot more boating.

My 1976 28 CIg( Berks Law ) I raced probably 30 times a year and used it every weekend during the summer in NJ where I lived. It only went two speeds. We were idling or wide open . It han stock 280 Mercs with TRS drives, You couldn't hurt it & believe me we tried. At the finish of a race the oil preasure would be on 5 lbs but it was stll runnin strong. The engines probably had 400 hrs. of 5000 rpms constantly. That boat was the original Great Adventure

Re: Well...its all over except the crying......
 

Love the pics, LS. :cool:

Trailers have come a long way.

Re: Well...its all over except the crying......
 

That is for sure. That rig has always impressed me. :cool: :cool:

Re: Well...its all over except the crying......
 

Rich, is any other boat on the horizon?

Re: Well...its all over except the crying......
 

Rich,
Where do you get that blue chit around the guide polls of your lift? What is it some kind of carpet? I need that stuff :confused: :cool:

Congrats on selling her. Super nice 36', very well kept Cig. I'm sure the new owner will be happy, but hard pressed to keep it in the condition (that it looks like) you did. :drink: :)

Re: Well...its all over except the crying......
 

I'm pretty sure it's just carpet, we have the same set-up :cool:

Re: Well...its all over except the crying......
 

Thanks Bobby, that's what I figured ... guess maybe I was trying to figure out how to spend triple the amount of $$$$ for something that's as simple as wrapping some light pile indoor/outdoor carpeting around :evilb: :evilb: :evilb:

Hey, it's the marine way! :drink: :D :eek:

Re: Well...its all over except the crying......
 

Bobby......I left the day you called and just got back....I dont have your number as I erased the msg...sorry....try again.........Cuda....I may be out of boating for awhile...dont know yet.....I would have liked to have gotten my hands on Too Olds ex Mistress though.......NJ...it is just indoor outdoor carpeting like Bobby said...and you are right...I doubt there are many people who rub on a boat as much as I do......thanx for the compliment.........I think.... :)

Re: Well...its all over except the crying......
 

Someone got a great boat. I loved the paint on your 36'. I think Mark Smith liked it too!!! :evilb: :D Are you set on a Mistress or would you be interested in a Flat Deck 38'?

Re: Well...its all over except the crying......
 

Absolutely a compliment Rich :) I only meant by "(that it looks like)" comment that I'd never seen it in person, so could only tell by the pics and they certainly show off the shine :cool: And usually pics can not even come close to how good it really looks ... in person :drink:

Are you really looking for a nice Mistress?? ;)

Re: Well...its all over except the crying......
 

At this point...I am going to just sit it out for awhile and see what the gas prices do....I really like the look of the old Mistresses and will probably end up going in that direction when I decide to do something.....but for now, i am going to try and recoup my losses if you know what I mean..... :eek: :rolleyes: :)

Re: Well...its all over except the crying......
 

congratulations on the sale Rich, I must say that your Gladiator was the absolute cleanest, nicest looking boat I have ever laid eyes on.

Bob
