If it is a skater hull and deck, why is cigarette painted all over it???

[QUOTE=fountain40icbm;2298400] The guy wanted Cigarette to finish and rig the boat for some reason. QUOTE]

The reason is that no one, including OL, Nortech or even Skater can finish a boat like Cigarette.

[QUOTE=pm203;2298785]Right, and since Skater has the great hulls, its a perfect combo.

I am a big Cigarette fan but feel this boat, the Top Fish, the 55 Cruiser are all diluting the brand. Can't wait to see what bad idea Skip has next........................:hitfan:


Having someone else build their product so they can label/ bling it up is pathetic. Their boats are becoming dinosaurs and OL/ others are making nicer boats that go faster with identical power. Phil is the only one that is improving the boats by making them faster/ better looking and getting them published in magazines.

An enclosed head/ air conditioning/ generators are becoming standard on many of the competitors boats that are still running faster.

I spoke with the owner at Sarasota. It is exactly as stated above 39' (Skater/Cigarette) built and rigged. According to the owner it was done as a one off concept, but they would be willing to build more. He said it cost almost DOUBLE what a normal 39 Gun would cost!

So, don't buy a Cig if you feel that way. There may be faster and better equipped boats, but NONE, better built.

A Cigarette is a Cigarette is a Cigarette & that says it all !

Wow you must of had a double shot of Skip's kool-aid! :D

Seems like the best of both worlds to me. I'd take it. How fast?

Nine Cigs to date...I guess you could say I'm a big fan :cool-smiley-011:
