a 1974 Cigarette 28 Standard named "Sneaky Pete II" (Open Model was called the Standard)

Power: Twin GM 292 cubic inch inline 6's, Gen II Alpha's.
A DIY power combo replacing the MerCruiser 165's and old school #1 drives.

Story: My Father bought it in 1977. I took my first ride in it when I was 6 DAYS old, in summer of '79. Updated and repowered in 2000. Mine since 2005.

Not too big, not too small. Lots of seating and floorspace. Safe, secure, and economical. Family and Historical significance. 100% Cigarette style. I love my boat!

Wow, nice resto. Did you do the work yourself?

:drink::sport009:

The 78 is my old race boat. Miss Cigarette. I loved that boat, :angry-smiley-038:wish I never got rid of it.

My 1978 28 SS
 

also repowered in 2000

Hey cig3 where are some pics of my old boat. Here are some more of miss cig. before you bought it, and the original owners back in he eighties.The boat was bare when I got. sunk and stripped of all it's rigging.

Is that your old boat? Do you know who did all the restoration work? I'm having a tough time finding anyone who has done that kind of work around my area.

Hey cig3 thanks for the team shirt . Do you know what happened to the boat?

Yeah that's Blee's old Cig. Doller Offshore did all the work, and now I enjoy it. :D

Still miss mine. Was a crazy project for sure.

It is or sale if anyone is interested I can put you in contact with the current owner, or open up any recent issue of Powerboat magazine.

You sure do. I couldn't have sold it to a guy that uses it more! Still the best sounding boat I've had. :cool:


Yep, the restore is credited to Doller Offshore and a little help from Cigarette. Not a single part didn't get replaced with new that I can remember. :ernaehrung004:

Lucky Strike had one too. I think there is an old pic of Steve towing it with an Eldorado.

Haha, I love that pic. :grinser010:

I have a couple laying around. I'll get them posted. The boat is still here in Ohio. Been trying to buy it back for a year or so.

I had a '73 OS with "Crayola" paint. I loved that boat and sold it just when I got all the bugs worked out of it! :eek:

I can't post pics here anymore but there are a bunch of them on OSO somewhere. :D

I'd like to find out more about your restoration, but I see your not set up for PM's or email. What engines did you choose? Total cost? Anything you may have done different? Trying to get a handle on what its going to take to fix up my apache before I dive in with my blinders on.

28 SS?? What about "Fidelity"???

N.O.,
Are you Tim? The guy that use to sell Suzuki Samurai stuff. I beleive the boat is still in Ohio owned by a guy out of Medina.

it was not an SS...right???

No I sold it to Tim Tackett , I got it as a bare damaged hull from hitting the break wall.

I gotcha. Now that I think of it, it was rerigged with small blocks and bravo's It was being brokeraged out of J&J in Catawba. Thrillseeker should know more.
Jr.

dont think so.. that was another 28ss... same guy though... he had 2 or 3

That is a though one since Greg has more boats than a marina..........
Jr.

b/b chevys it was originally sky blue gel coat.
