Wanted 2001-06 Cigarette Top Gun TS
 
Still looking for a 2001-06 Cigarette 38 Top Gun TS!!! any good one out there??

Yup!
I've got the best one, and I know it! Fresh motors, everything else all new. Just come see it, you'll be convinced.
However, it is not the blue light special and I don't need to sell it. But you will save money because you won't need rebuilds on motors or drives. Transom housings are recent too, as is everything in the bilge. No scratches, could pass as a new demo boat. NONE of the upgrades I have done NEEDED to be done!
2 cockpit carpets
1 full cover
3 cockpit covers

The scary thing is, the boat was in GREAT shape when I bought it in '04. I just wanted to update "some stuff" and make it "my" boat. Well, I didn't know when to stop. Now I know exactly what I got and the boat looks like it was in a time warp - cause it looks like it rolled out of the 188th Street factory last week.

out of curiosity... it's obvious you are very particular with your boat.... so, what had you only replace the heads on one engine and then refresh the other the following season --- esp. considering how little time you put on the boat each season?

same thing w/ the drives... when doing one, i would think as detailed as you are, they both would have been done... or at least rotated the gears from the upper to lower/ vice versa etc...

figured i'd get it out there so you could respond before any prospective buyers did..... or just chose to pass b/c of the abnormality.

best of luck selling it bill. you have one of the nice ones.


all the best,

joe

Because a motor builder screwed me, and put on an old set of heads that failed. He only did that on one motor though. So I rebuilt it in Aug 08, with intention of doing other motor in winter. But didn't get to it till now. This season, the other motor is done, and will have 1st motor gone thru too so both will be fresh this season

same thing w/ the drives... when doing one, i would think as detailed as you are, they both would have been done... or at least rotated the gears from the upper to lower/ vice versa etc...
Drives were swapped side to side each season. Didn't have any problems with them until one let go. Then I had wrong person attempt repair twice. This year that drive gets built right.

Thanks - the boat is cherry. I have 95% of receipts to prove the above work (all engine & drive receipts). Me and OSO member Rogman ought to open a Top Gun refurbishing shop. Between his and mine, we have totally gone thru both boats bow to stern. Beats sitting on my azz each winter flipping channels. Now I need a new project - or maybe not.

Well, go look at everything else first, then come see mine.
(actually, the motors are out now - and you can see parts of the boat you'd never see with the motors in)
EVERYBODY says their boat is clean, top notch - but they will pale in comparison to mine. Just ask anyone on the board here that has seen my boat.
I am 100% confident the first serious buyer that sees it will buy it.
