Cigarette Mystique Thread!!
 

As everyone know I recently got a 2002 Cigarette Mystique!!! I wanted to start a thread of my own for this boat, like I did with my Apache!! I will be doing mods and custom work to my Mystique over the next month. Boat has 2 496 Mag HO's, Bravo 1 XR drives, and 26P Bravo 1 props!! I have had it to 73.1 on GPS with 5 people and 1 full tank of gas, other tank was empty. I am going to do motor mods, and try different props. I belive it will run better with just 1 person in the boat and less gas!! :food-smiley-007:

more pics, now for the mods!!!:drink:

Cool.
look forward to see what you're gonna do w/ the 496s.

How does the ride compare to your old 28 Apache?

I put a windshield on mine instead of the flaps made the ride much more enjoyable. Dad and I made the bracket and bought a 3/8's sheet of plexiglass. Not to hard to make but well worth the effort.

looked good, shame what happened to your old boat!! it was one of the nicest looking Mystiques!!! your old boat was a 500 EFI strait bottom correct? what speeds did you get out of yours??

Yes it had 500EFI's it would do 82
It realy was a clean boat with attention to detail in every compartment.

what year was it?

got more pics? how about the transom, did it have the notch?

WMF i think from the pics yours is not notched

It is an 02 no notched transom
I do have more pics pm me w/ email and I will send you some.

installed Drive showers tonight!!!

although im sure everyone would love to see them

what speeds were you seeing

WMF,

Like Andy asked. Any comments on how your new Cig compares with your old Apache on the water?? By the way, I love that paint job! Congrats on your new toy.

I would be hard for me to compare, I only had the Apache in the water twice, never really got to run it!! They feel different, the Apache was much smaller inside! and felt more nimble!! The Cigarette is a much larger boat overall, the cockpit is deeper and has a better fit to it!!, they did feel the same on Accelartion and top end!! the Apache did get thier quicker! overall I like the Cigarette better because its newer, lines, and cabin and cockpit!!

I sold this boat to Pete a few years ago before it was destroyed in the strom. One of the nicest mystiques ever built period. I think the cost new was something like 345k.

Installed new throttle and shifter base plates tonight!! What do you think? before

after!!

Looks better!
Now take you old ones and have them painted with some graphics. Then in the winter get the dash painted with graphics.
Those metal dashes on Cigs always need attention every two years or so to keep looking pristine.

Replaced the plugs tonight!!! what fun that was!!:eek:, also got new K&N air filters!! That should be good for .002 MPH!!!

Actually the K&N should be good for -2mph

Great!! -2mph!! now I have to buy something else to make up for the lose in speed!! How is it good for -2MPH???

Had a great weekend of boating, boat ran 74 on GPS Speedo, but lost the Gimbal bearing on the right side motor!! installed new Gimbal Bearing tonight, and new bellows, replaced both sides!! Runs great now. Some pics of my Mechanic fixing the problem

When I had a 496 the K&N robbed me of about 2-3 mph. Took me a while to figure out what did it, but I put the stock arrestor back on *poof* right back to where I started. Maybe it was just mine, but I would test it - I think you get a lot more flow with the stock.

I still love that mystique...your really starting to make me regret my choice.:ernaehrung004:

I love the boat as well!! I have Tres Martin coming over next week for the driving school!!! Cant wait!! Will have pics!

My new favorite 30'. Greatttt pics I really think they are cool!
