Good luck with that project. How about "Burn out" or "Toast" or "Torchy's Loung" or " Black Magic Woman" or "Smokin Mama" or "Hot Chocolate" or "Hot Tamale" or "Hot Btch"
for a name?

massive burn! I'd call it DIRTY JOB !!!

I restored 2 boats up to now, but never burned like that. Each time you'll work on it, you'll get a black face for sure! Need a shower after!

Good luck, keep postin pics!!!

I thought my restoration was bad! All I had to do is replace a transom and a couple of stringers. Best of luck. My dusty, grinding fiberglass thoughts and prayers are with you!!!

Beer washes down the dust pretty well! I have alot of extra parts from my project. Let me know what you need. I replaced almost everything in the bilge and transom.

Bad Enough, tell us what your plans are and how you're going to repair the burnt fiberglass. How does it look in person? How much you plan on spending? How much are you going to do yourself or outsource. I have an idea of how much you paid for the hull, It may just be worth the work!

The plan is to first restore the boat to original condition. I have done some work with fiberglass repair before but not to this degree. Initially it looked bad but after I got to cleaning and ripping the wet debris out not so bad. I plan on doing the resto myself unless I happen on something I just cant figure out. The time frame is 2 years (I have a day job) and the budget will be about $40,000. So far I have been lucky enough to find guys wanting to trade this for that so, very little cash out so far. You all have been a big help offering up spare parts and that is how I plan to get the job done for now. Later I'll upgrade to higher performance. I paid $3150 plus my cost of hauling the boat from NY to KC. I plan on having a solid top notch boat when it is all done. I really dont want to stray from Cigarette's design. So keep the used parts rolling. We'll get your garages cleaned out before it's all over. Thanks Travis and Carol Self
