Phil has an extremely strong & very loyal following. I believe there’s a reason for this:
First and foremost, you will not get better customer service from anyone in the industry...PERIOD! Phil treats his customers like family. And when you become a Lip-Ship customer you do actually feel like part of a big family.
To me (and many others) there is nothing more valuable, especially in this day and age of boating, than having someone in the industry that is dependable. Someone that you can call on at any time with a question, problem or need and have it taken care of, with out question, in a time period that is staggering to the mind. When most complain about not getting a call back from some dealers and builders, Phil actually gives his clients his personal cell number and will routinely answer it while he's on the water, at dinner with a client, or busy with a build.
In regards to the actual “lip-ship” edition boats;
He walks the boat through the build process, every step of the way and keeps the customer informed on all aspects.
Attention to detail is his forte. He throws in little nick knacks and cool subtle details you just don’t get on other boats. “Subtle Bling,” is his thing!
If you, as a customer building a boat, have special needs or requests Phil will make it happen. This includes paint, power package, interior, cabin, etc.
He dials in every boat before delivery and with you upon delivery obtaining the peak performance out of it. There will be no need to change props or tinker with anything in an attempt to get more speed.
Lip-ship boats demand a higher dollar on the used market than a non lip-ship boat when or if you decide to sell.
He is the longest running Cigarette-only dealer. Like many Cigarette owners He is 100% committed to Cigarette and extremely brand loyal. He understands buying a new Cigarette is an amazing experience that only few in the world are able to accomplish. He also realizes that parting with that much currency is not something to be taken lightly. He puts himself into the buyer’s shoes to ensure the purchasing experience is an enjoyable experience instead of a stressful one.
If you are fortunate enough to be able to experience the Lip-Ship “concierge” service while keeping your boat at TNT marina you’ll experience a level of service that is unrivaled in the industry.
Some balk at the added cost of a “Lip-Ship” boat but I don’t think most realize it’s not just the boat you’re getting, it’s a whole lifestyle.
I would highly recommend contacting him and going over what your expectations and desires are. Like fountain40icbm said, he will not take your Formula on trade. Like I said above, he is 100% Cigarette. Good luck with whatever you decide. Wish I was in your shoes.

Your in the wrong business. I think cigarette boat sales is your calling.

Phil is the man! The best customer service hands down and attention to detail is off the charts. We are on our second Lip-Ship edition Cig and we have had two other Cigs prior to that and when I am ready for my next Cig, I will be buying from Phil. I have called Phil on a Sunday before to ask him a question. that is not your average customer service. When you buy a Lip-Ship, you get an insane boat and insane service. The complete package!

Yes it is Tom and its an awesome paint job. I was saying if i had another boat that i wanted painted and it was a Cigarette im sure Harold would be happy to take my money!! See you down in Miami at Philly's!! Im not hating on Philly since we have dealt with him and such. He builds a great boat but when you really look at it you can do all of his little special touches through the factory or another dealer. Tom, you know Chris can build you a real nice Cigarette as well!!
