Just finished my Top Gun
 

I have a 86 Top Gun the I bought October of last year.

I just finished restoring it. What do you all think???

Also anyone know where a good place to get the carpet done at LOTO is? Or order? That is the last thing I want to do is add some carpet.

The Cig looks great! Tell us what all you did during the restoration.
We'll look out for it this summer at LOTO.

Here's a place for carpet. Have no idea how they are on cost.

Congrats!

Did you buy that boat from Maryland?

No I got it from Lake Ozark from a buddy of mine

Where did you get the swim platform?

A buddy of mine made it for me. He builds race frames so it was pretty easy for him. He can do them any color and install them for $1600 or shipped for $1300

The boat looks great! Just a small point though, it's a Flat Deck, not a Top Gun. Enjoy the hell out of it!

My title says top gun??? Am I missing something?

"top-guns" weren't made until late 87/early 88. Someone along the line must've added "Top Gun" to the title somehow.

Boat looks great though. Can we see some interior shots and motor compartment shots.

Wow I didnt know that!!

I dont have any engine or interior shots here at my office only the ones I have posted and this one of the gauges.

I will post them tonight from home.

I love it, Graet Job !!

Doesn't mean anything....It's still a Cigarette! Flat deck 38 is a great boat. I don't think the hull was changed from the flat deck to the Top Gun. Just the deck, interior and dash. I think they even kept the same cabin until 1990 when they changed the cabin layout.

I admired that boat last summer at the broker's lot, before realizing there's no way a 38 would fit in my condo's slip. because the neighboring dock is too close.

But, it was supposed to have low hour engines and newer gauges back then. Why'd you change them again?

Either way, the 38 flat deck is a nice boat, a real piece of history, and congratulations on getting it and caring for it.

My buddy did some of the work before I bought it.

The motors have about 25 hrs on it. Had 12 when I got it. Motors still need a little more tuning. They load up real bad at idle and it will occasionally kill it. Carb issues I believe

I went back and forth about it myself. I didn’t know if I wanted to spend the money finishing off the boat or just get a newer one. He called me one day and told me I could have it for basically pay off so I couldn’t pass it up.

I have only used it once in the fall harbor hop and it has been in various shops since.

I am ready to turn her loose as soon as we get another weekend like we just had


Thanks for all the good words

Great lookin Cigarette. Who did the paint and graphics?

By the way...I especially like the "Cigarette" on the deck...Looks familiar:D
