Finally - I can legitimately post in the "owner's forum"
 

Got home last night at 3:30 am with my new-to-me cig. 12 hours from CT to VA. Naturally the entire day here is a washout due to tropical storm remnants, so I am sitting here just staring at it in the front yard.

It looks a little odd since the rig is longer than the house, but oh well, I don't really see that as a problem.

Thanks to those who pointed me towards this boat and qualified it as a nice boat,, and gave me reason to drive up there. (Fountain40icbm, 4195)

I'll post some more pics as soon as I get it uncovered, and cleaned up for summer.

Nice looking rig... Congrats. :cool:

Sweet:cool:

Congrats! I think that boat belonged to a friend. What year and power?

Great looking Boat, Have Fun !!

1990 - Weiand 177 blowers on GM 502's - Nickerson 850's.

Congrats!!!!!!

Nice boat. I would have liked that one for myself!

Yeah - I remember you saying that in another thread.

While we were sea-trialing 2 people called wanting the boat and the owner had to tell them that it was sold... or presumably sold.

Congrats on the boat!!! I knew you would like it. It was a great deal. I was with Todd today and he was driving his friends boat. He already got the itch for something else. The boat was formerly owned by Joe Spina/Loose Cannon I believe. Todd had gone through the entire boat though and made it real nice. Congrats on the boat again seafordguy!!!

good luck, cafe racers are the ****..... miss mine already.....

Sweet! Congrats!!

Congrats.

I hope to see the boat in person one day. Do you think you are going to take it to Harborfest next weekend if you feel comfortable with it? I was going the whole weekend, but as it stands, I can't get off work friday so I'll be there Saturday.

I also plan to go to Jammin on the James this year.

Welcome! :D

Congrats to the family addition/addiction ! How did you feel about 'em toll's running 5 axles ?

sweet...................welcome:evilb:

Congrats!!!!!!!!

Congrats.

Welcome to the club.

Congrats.

Now you'll know why there is a #1 in the logo!

Looking to see some of these "new to the area" Cigs around this year.
Won't be at harborfest - I'll be at the Jacksonville PR.

Yep, Florida busted my chops when we went to Miami to pick up mine!:eek: It's all worth it though.

Wait till you sign up for your first poker run with the new rig. Feels good to write "Cigarette" on the line where it says, "manufacturer".:D

Don't think I am going to feel comfortable enough yet to run over to harborfest. I'll see about cruising over to Jammin' on the James. I have no doubt we'll meet up sooner rather than later - I am sure all the Southside Cig owner's are great guys and can't wait to meet everyone.

Tolls were narrow - that's for sure. Luckily we used my Fiance's EZ-Pass from work so hopefully noone notices ;) It took a few hundred miles, and a couple stops in and around rest areas for me to feel comfortable with the rig but after a while I got pretty comfortable towing it. I can see, from a stability standpoint, why people say you should have a dually though. I bet it would have beem a handful with SRW.

Funny you said "Addiction" - that is the current name of the boat.

We're changing it to "Wanna Drag?". I know it is bad luck but screw superstition.

Nice ride, good luck and welcome to the club!

Congrats!!

sharp looking Cig. Enjoy the ride. :cool:

Congrats. Nice rig. I'm new to the brand also and now understand the cashe that Cig has. RIDE SAFE!!

I did my first Cigarette last year and there is no going back. Congratulations on a beautiful rig.

Congratulations!! Don't worry about the size of the house. You will have alot more fun in the boat then the house!!! You have your priorities right!!!!

Toys first - adequate living arrangements later.

Good luck! Great boat Enjoy!

I like the way you think:D :D

I do TOO.

This was the first weekend of boating for me - for the most part trouble free (so far) and let me tell you, I AM HOOKED!!

That boat was sitting ten minutes from my office and I kept putting the call off. :chick:

I suck.

Looks like you got a sweet ride at a very fair price. I really suck.

Enjoy it!

Good Luck and WELCOME!!

Sweet ride - yes
Fair Price - yes
Gas Money - no
Willingness to cash in my 401k to rummage up gas money - yes!!

Do you think your 401K money will be in to do Jammin on the James? I still hope to make it there. It's about a month away.

Not to depress you, but did you know you can go thru an entire tank of fuel (What's a Cafe's, about 260?) in a couple of hours at wide open throttle? Hope your 401K is built up. The mantra to learn for most running is "just cruzin"

You know, I hadn't given it too much thought but I am actually more comfortable with the boat than I thought I would be.

I'll check out the details and let you know!!

Congrats!! Welcome to a great addiction
