very nice.... its funny why peeps are surprised you'd throw money into a project like this, rebuilding any cig is like redoing a classic musscle car. you will never get the money back you put into the project, its about the project......

What's an SS worth (nice MPG boat) - My Cafe can even go out when the waves are 2-3 - hell, I have had her in 8-10's. Don't get me wrong, I almost but a Cigarette tattoo on my shoulder. I love them, but $100K on a Firefox?

How is that any worse than the 100k in depreciation realized rather quickly in "larger" NEW cigarettes??

And yea... it's an older hull, but thats just fiberglass.

A brand new 24 pantera w/ serious hardware would be in the 80k-90k range.

So since you think a 100k For a boat that they dont make and will be worth more than a caferacer with 1980's colors. I have a good friend that put 102k into a 1995 CHEVY S10. and that not worth anymore than maybe 8k on a good day. so its all in the eye of the owner would i put 102k into a s10 HELL no but into a boat that i have owned for 12 years and loved every minit and i had the money to spend I WOULD.

SO great looking boat it will turn heads everywhere you go. Enjoy every minit of it.
