1988 Cig Top Gun on Craigslist
 

This was posted in another forum, but figured I'd make one just for it. This seems a bit inexpensive. Anyone know this boat? Seems like it must have some issues. Am I wrong?

Its one of those deals where if it sounds to good to be true it probably is,,,,,,but,,,,,,if it is true.....thats a steal!!

Someone needs to check it out..

Agreed. I'd have to think that SOMEONE on here has seen this boat before. Saltwater corrosion could be an issue.

Keytime ... I'm in Jersey need someone to check it out? Just called the number ... no answer.

Long shot for me considering the distance involved. I'd think that someone closer would be interested in it. I did get this back when I emailed about it:

"It is a true cigarette and 100% operational, the interior has seen better days though, and the owner has replaced this boat with a 2003 cigarette. he is paying storage on this boat as well as all the expenses on his new boat. he is a motivated seller."

If it were closer, I'd seriously consider it. However, if someone does go look at it, I'd definitely love to hear all about it. ;)

Someone has to live close to that thing.

I'm going today around luch time. I will report back to all that are interested. If theres anything you want me to look for please let me know ?

I'm curious of general condition mechanically and cosmetically. If that boat is mechanically solid (engines, drives, and hull), I'd have to think that's a very good price for it.

Saw the Top Gun today, and I have to report back. Its ok It needs to be overhauled. motors drives gimbles tabs ect. Interior also needs alot of TLC Dash faded ect. Not sure if it even runs Two differant builders on the motors. things like that. Is it a good buy? Can't say "Buyer Beware" would'nt want to stear anyone in the wrong direction. I would buy it. But Ive been stiffed many times. Thats about all I can say about this boat. Any other info I think of I will post. Good Luck!

I think we all knew that the report was going to be somewhat "realistic" - if it is too good to be true.....
