Do the math.....
Lots of folks want to buy a 20' Cigarette cheap and 'fix it up themselves'. When they finally find the project boat they finally get it that it is very expensive to restore these boats, especially to upgrade them. The 4 that LipShip performance built new a while back were $120K plus each. BLEE did it right and put together an awesome boat. If you do the math, this likely isn't a money - making proposition for him.
I have to give BLEE kudos for doing an excellent restoration. Whoever buys the boat will love it, my old 20' is great, there is no question that BLEE's 20 is greater.

Man I WISH, I could take credit for designing the 20 being advertised! The one's that Phil has built have ALL been just perfect.
They are just toys, no different than an extra sportscar/JEEP/etc to play around with. I never planned to make money on it, and I doubt anyone else that's really redone one does either to an extent.

I was in Nantucket a few years ago and there was a yacht in the harbor with a cig and a donzi both sitting on the deck (probably both 20' but I cant say exactly). This would be a great ride for someone with a boat like that and probably not seem that expensive to them. The yacht and the two boats were all black and registered in NY, NY.
