Whats the big deal over 20 ft cigs. you couldn't hardly give them away when they new. They are just a little boat. Yes buy it and send it Philly, if you have that kind of money, then there will be two happy people, you and especially Phil.

You're right, they were also expensive as hell compared to what you could get at the time for the same money......kind of like the Mystique/Vice. Most of the 20's were made to order boats built for fun, or as yacht tenders, etc, since they have no cabin or creature comforts. They have the same charm as the little Donzi's, only the Cigarette's are less common. It's probably a good example of a "cult following", but being a lifelong Cigarette fan, I personally had to have one if the right one presented itself, and sho nuff it did.

Yes they are just a little boat, but they are wicked bad fun to drive and to customize as well. Kind of like saying a chopper is just a long motorcycle. They are also of a finite quantity now.
