if you own a cigarette you obviously know boats, and if you say a Kevlar straight bottom cig does not handle good you are in the wrong sport and you should take up golf

Who said they did not handle good?

barron, first page of this thread

I must have missed that. Anyhow, I always thought that handling was one of their many awesome strong points.

i agree no doubt

Barron owned the old "Keyed Up" and we went and sea trailed the "Fanny Doctor." They are sister boats. There are reasons why the Keyed Up boat has been sold many times and no one kept it very long. They do have their problems and I would put them under the category of handling. However, to say "if you own a cigarette and you ovbiously know boats and if you say a Kevlar straight bottom cig does not handle good your in the wrong sport you should take of golf"....give me a break! We've had 9 Cigarettes over the years. How many have you had?

Yep that's what said and I stand by it 100%.It's really not the perfect boat people make it out to be. And that was that boat ,not that I wouldn'nt own another in fact I've own 2 since .FORE!

I ran Keyed up for 2 summers and I would NOT say it had any handling issues and is NOT why I sold it. It is definately a drivers boat. The more I drove it the more I liked it. Given a choice I'd take my 2000 full cabin-500efi boat though, but then again I dont give a sh*t about topspeed. They both cruise @50+mph, one just burned 1/2 the fuel.

There ya go !

does that mean you like or do not like the 1997 top guns?
