20' cigs, who has them?
 

Who has a trashed hull with title? I have one and am looking for another....

Re: 20' cigs, who has them?
 

define "trashed"

i got one that i would classify as a "project"

Re: 20' cigs, who has them?
 

:D:D

Re: 20' cigs, who has them?
 

mine is in a little better shape than that, same hull only. Glassdave and myself are going to do a mini tiger, cept sit down. I'm not looking to spend a bunch on it, just has to have a title. Are you selling it Sean? thats the prince of park ridges old ride too huh? :D

Re: 20' cigs, who has them?
 

yup..that's the one. :) It's really not that bad...but does need to be completely redone. There is a fair amount of glasswork that needs to be done to the deck, particularly the back seat...but the hull is solid with no repairs and rot free.

i cleaned it up and shrinwrapped it and will get to it after i sell the 16 Donzi project...

my thought for the 20 is to do a mini Gladiator with a fiberglass fairing that will be removable if someone wants to put it back to original....in fact, all modifications will be made so that it can get back to orginal pretty easily... who knows...these things may be valuable one day as original pieces :rolleyes: :eek: :D

power will more than likely be a stock mercury powerplant with bravo drive and i plan on keeping the side compartments in the bilge.

drillin, do you have pics of yours?

btw, check out cigarette20.com

Re: 20' cigs, who has them?
 

I have checked it out great site and pics, I'll have pics tomorrow when I pick it up. Mine will be done all custom(no return to normal) like Ricks, his was the inspiration for it. I have my eye on a 525 whipple motor and ITS transom with xr. All of the pics i see of them riding they are way stern heavy, hopefully by putting the drive back about 8-10 more inches we can get a better cog while under way to help balance out the high hp. mine sat in a yard by the woods for 13 years and was covered but the transom is shot, which is fine as Dave wants to redo it and make it stronger. The ITS will keep the transom clean and it will have 280 tabs instead of the 380. Like Rick's there is no rush for it and I'm figuring a year to 18 months to have it done right. I'm also doing it on a budget and will buy the best stuff, but not break the bank all at once. Once it gets under way I'm sure dave will have a thread with pics either here or in the fiberglass section.

with the same level of professionalism as the ill-fated "boat painting 101" :drink: . . . . (and all new stripper pics :D )

Re: 20' cigs, who has them?
 

Anyone here have info on the 20'cig get together in Pt. Huron MI this year? Saw a post about it months back and cannot seem to find it.

Re: 20' cigs, who has them?
 

Baja man i do not know anything about a Pt Huron Mi.get together but i have posted the time and place for our third annual run we have been doing if that helps

Re: 20' cigs, who has them?
 

Where is it posted or do you have a link to it?

Thanks

Re: 20' cigs, who has them?
 

Offshoredrillin,

I saw your post and had to comment. I am currently redoing a 1982 20 Cigarette with some of the same ideas you have. I just had the transom completely redone and moving to the bottom next to make sure it's straight and re-gelcoat. I have picked up a used ITS for mine also. I was thinking along the same lines with the much cleaner look in the back. I am probably going with N/A power, maybe a merc 525 EFI or possibly a Zul. Anyway, I wish you the best with your project. Hopefully next summer we can all meet at the 20 run.

Re: 20' cigs, who has them?
 

Thats awesome. I was going to get a 525 whipple, but JC can build me a 750 NA for tons less and be dead on reliable. give me a call 410-746-0020 i have a couple ideas for the bottom that will help with the speed and I will talk to Dave about this weekend when i take my Tiger to Toledo. with the ITS we will be changing the C.o.G. and these boats werent designed for the speeds we want to go. I'm thinkin about bringing the bottom strake all the way back and reducing some of the pad so it wont be so squirelly...Rob

Re: 20' cigs, who has them?
 

We lost our posts rick, and thanks for posting the pic and getting us all started.:D, Cant wait till we can all run them together. Maybe we can get a run here on the Chesapeake bay

Re: 20' cigs, who has them?
 

I should have bought this and wonder who did. It was the one in Oregon for sale about 2years ago! :mad:

Re: 20' cigs, who has them?
 

Sean - Are you selling the 20'? Please let me know. Thanks, Barry

i'll let you know...but don't hold your breath :D

Hey Flyby...... I suggest you switch to the Decaf

20 Cig
 

In a new twist I bought a 28 Cigarette project, so I may sell my 20' Cigaette if anyone is interested.

pics?

20 Cig
 

I don't have any pictures, but if you look at the 20 brochure picture from the early 80's and the picture of the 20 in King of Thunderboat row it is either the same boat or an exact sister.

Offshoredrillin,

Did You See The Raylar Small Block That Is Coming Out? That Looks Like A Cool Motor For A 20' Cig. Very Light (under 500lbs) And 550hp! I Want To Run A Flat Engine Hatch On Mine And That Would Be Small Enough To Do So. What Do You Think?

Dk

hey DK, I was on thier site the other day looking at some stuff for my dually. I talked to JC the other day and I think I am going to have him build me a 750 hp N/A motor I just have a crazy hair to try to get this thing to 100 :D

Do you have any pics of yours with the ITS on it? How is the build coming?
Rob

I will get some pics next week. The engine compartment is all new. Transom, stringers and the fire wall is touched up. We are going to flip it over and start on the bottom next. I am down in FL for the show this weekend but will give you a call when I get back home to talk about the hull. The 750 sounds gnarly!!

Can you leave the Tiger to me in the will please???:eek: :D

I found these old 20' Cig add's I had from 1975 thought you guy's would like them. I will buy two at that price.

OSG,

that thing looks awesome, I was the guy that was with Bobby(LSjr), the day we saw it at Phils place, and we called about your windshield. Here is how my24 Pantera turned out, before and after, nowhere near as nice as your 20, but all of this work was done here at home by myself.

I uploaded them bacwards, obviously the black is the before photo.

Rick

lol, you trying to start a Robs ex boat collection? :evilb:...I just want to see what it will do, if it starts getting squirrelly i wont push it, no death wish here.

What should i list my 20' Cig for?
 

I'm getting ready to list my 20' Cigarette for sale. I have pictures now but have to get around to upgrading my membership to post. The boat is in really nice shape, all original graphics and interior. 454/415 w/TRS. Runs great. Hydraulic sterring. Tandem axle galvanized trailer. What is it worth?

Thanks, Barry

Pics for OC Barry. This is his 20' Cigarette mentioned above.

A few more.

I swear they look a lot like the 20 foot Donzi Minx, especially in that old brochure.

I sold my Minx last week.

Rob,

Sorry it took so long but here are 2 pics of my 20. Just finished the bottom/sides and back. I have a couple small things left to do to the deck and it's time to put her back together. Let me know what you think.

DK

Lookin good DK!

did you use gel?

Wow, looks great DK, get some pics of the reassemble and keep us informed...Rob

Thanks! Yes, white gelcoat. I am having a pro do the glasswork but I will be doing all the rigging.

He is glassing up the tub that is in the deck right now. I want it to have the classic look but with a very clean looking deck.

I will post more when I get them.

DK

OC,

Did you ever end up saleing this boat??

David

I spoke to Barry a few days ago and he still has the 20. I don't think that he has listed it for sale anywhere, but he said that it is indeed for sale.

DK or Rick, where are you putting your fuel fill. i thought I saw it on the deck, I'm thinking maybe putting mine on the side...any pics?...Rob

Not sure what type of fill you are using, but I advise not putting it on the side. My buddy had the old-school flip top cap on the side of his Checkmate, and you could not raft him on that side; as it would damage your boat.
