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
Can't you just buy a new deck straight out from the Cig factory and be worth it? Have you checkedk that option or is it too expensive? How much could be worth a new deck?

The Tiger was previously owned by someone here in Toledo and traded into Lipship on a new 39 Gun. It then went to the Bahamas and I think the fire was started by a vagrant while sitting in a storage lot.

The Top Gun was tracedto the battery switch. Burned on the lift at the marina and took a Baja with it.
