Anyone know this boat?
 

A friend of mine bought the old 1991 42 Cigarette "Chop Chop". It is one of the flat decks called Revolution 188 I believe. The boat is set up for staggered engines and number 6 drives. It is a center steer but has a weird cabin, maybe put in after.

Anyone know the history?

Thanks,

Carl

Where did he purchase it from?

Re: Anyone know this boat?
 

I don't have photos yet. I believe he purchsed it at an auction about two years ago. The boat was stripped of everything, motors, drives and on and on.

Boat is all white, has splash graphics green purple and blue. The Cig logo is green oval, blue letters and pink number 1. It has a blue swim platform. The front has a flag and number box but no number.

I believe there were only two of the "Evolutions" (flat deck Revolution) built. The all white one that was for sale in Florida listed through Jeff Cheng (board god #1) and the blue/purple funky painted one that was at Cumberland for a while. I think that is the boat you are refering too. It was raced. Craig B knows the history of the boat as well as the guys at Lake Cumberland Marine. It was for sale at Cumberland for a couple of years fully rigged, ran over 100 but just wouldn't sell (probably because Cumberlands prices are out of control! :rolleyes: ) I think it did finally sell, then I saw it pop back up a year ago or so. Maybe that's when your friend got it.

Those were the first "Tigers" so to speak. They were not chop shoped, they were specific built/race built from the factory. Cool boat that looks a lot like a 41 Apache.

Is it this one? I just got it off of Cumberlands web site. They are notorious for keeping boats that are gone up on their website.

Tank,

Thanks a bunch. I talked to Phil and he didn't know it and then called Craig. There were four built. One was Ohio Steel, maybe yellow, another is at Lake Cumberland and used to be called "Too Fast For You", one is white with grey interior that is for sale now (sunk in Ft. Lauderdale) I think at a salvage site. It used to hang on a lift in Harbor Beach in Ft. Lauderdale. The one that my buddy has was Craig's boat. It was called "Cigarette Hawk".

He said it was light layup and was originally done with fives on boxes. My buddy is going to try and put his Lambo motors in the boat.

Thanks again,

Carl

I figured Craig would know. Lambo motors hmmm? Hope he's got a large checkbook! :eek:

I didn't know the white one sunk. Must've been recently. That's too bad. It was a NICE ride! Easily the nicest of the 4 built.
