[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.

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........................


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.

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