Why are you guys calling Cigarette factory.
Why not just call a Cigarette dealer and ask them for what you are looking for.

Oh, so thats why they're so darn slow. I didn't realize they were sculpted from solid marble. Or maybe they're cast in bronze ?

I have never had a problem getting a return phone call. I have left message for parts, Bud, and Skip and have always gotten a return call. I have also used Tres and Phil when I needed parts or had a question and both provided me great service/ Im sure that most people in the boating industry are scrambling to get ready for the show of all shows. MIAMI !!

It was faster than yours in the sh!t... Heck you even hitched a ride!!!

they won't even call or give any kind of support even for there only canopied race boat, thats y we are looking to get a new ride

Have to give Phil at Lipship a thumb's up, i called for him, gave me his cell and talked to him I believe when he was eating lunch. Great information and a straight shooter. I hope I am able to do business with him because that makes you feel good about spending that kind of money. BTW, it is a week before the show and he still took the time, my bad for even bothering him this week, i guess i owe him lunch!! Hammer

Back when I was in sales for a Cigarette Dealer I got Skip on the phone to ask him a question about a boat one of my best cleints was getting ready to purchase. Skip was condescending and treated me as second rate. A month later I was at the factory and again was treated like a knat. (Went by to see Phil and was treated great!!!) I think that Cig still builds one of the best big water boats, and have created a work of art in the process. But the customer service is sub par and Skip as an owner has forgot who REALLY sells his product. I own a High Performance Boat Dealership and my personal boat is a Cigarette (From when the one and only true owner of Cigarette was in charge), but I feel for the Cig dealers who have to try giving customer service while dealing with the ego.

Its a shame that Harry Judge passed on. He was a man who knew how to get just about anything done.

I agree that its going to be tough to get a new deck from Cigarette, or any manufacturer for that matter. That's a tall order. You can't call your local Chevy dealer or the Factory and ask for a new body on your 1984 Chevy Celebrity.

You may have more luck searching for a wrecked/totaled hull, and stripping off the deck to add it to your hull.

hey jeff why not try GM and tell them you want to get a price on a body for you 13 yr old chevette see if they call you back I am sure cigarette gets alot of calls & phone messages each day from tirekickers like you asking them all kind of questions & prices
