Can anybody get ahold of JETTSDAD I believe he may have owned my cig at one point. I would like to talk to him and get some history on my hull.

Russ

I'm Jettsdad, I've had a bunch of older Cigarettes and did restore a 38'-1984 with#3s and 572's. I repainted the boat White W/ purple/silver/black stripes.

Hey Tom - Do you ever get down to your parents old place just up the road from me (if the family still has it)? Look me up if you get to the shore. Hope all is well. Barry

Yeah we still have the place,my parents are old now and don't go very often, I actually did leave the 35 on the lift there most of July/Aug this year.I am looking forward to spending more time at the beach.I have a 28 Bertram FB that I keep at Ventnor marina,but didn't use it much,I still have that itch to get to beach when time permits,Do you live there fulltime? Does Bill ever go down, He must be getting up there?!

I'm looking forward to seeing your 35'. I can't remember where Ventnor is? I split my time between Balto, OC, and FL. Bill comes down from time to time. We just had dinner last week, we are still good friends. He has a 68' SeaRay, which as we speak he is in Paradise Island on the boat for the holidays. It's hard to believe that in 2009, Gary will have been gone 10 years. Next time you plan to go to the beach, give me a couple of days notice and we'll get together. I'm hoping to have my 28' redone by late spring. I'm going to sell the 20' if you know anyone who wants one.

I never actually heard why Gary past away, I felt bad That I missed his funeral,I didn't find out until it was over,The only thing I heard that he was in a car accident? I have a picture on my wall in my office of my 35 Mistress (87')with like 8 people on board taken by Jeff Mathias, from Gary's Cigarette running down the beach,Remember him, He wore that orange life jacket all the time.

Gary's death was a car accident, but had kind of a twist to it. I'll fill you in the next time I see you. I do remember Jeff, Gary always called him 'The Maestro'. Jeff's brother Jim became mayor of Ocean City then a state delegate. I was on Gary's boat when that picture of your boat was taken. We were saying, 'Could Tommy GET one more person on that boat'. LOL
