I have never agreed on the pricing of the 20, but for those who want one, its their $$. I almost bought a 21 cig. with an outboard a few years back, but got my 24 Pantera instead, dont know where I am going with this, but if I had the $$ to burn, I might buy one, just because they are different.

Your logic doesnt make much sense. Everything in boating is overpriced, its the nature of the sport. The things that are not overpriced are things you have only mentally accepted as a fair price. Like BLee said, for the most part the people buying the 20's at those prices have the income for a niche boat like that. In ten years yes they may depreciate, but wont all boats? But the 20's may depreciate a little less or might even go up because to those who can afford them are still willing to pay that price or more to be one of a small exclusive group.

A Picasso just sold for $106.5M this week. Do you thing that is overpriced? You can go to a starving artist show & get paintings for $25. Why would anyone want to spend $100M for one? Will your $25 go up in 10 yrs? Doubt it. But i bet that rare Picasso could fetch more in 10 yrs. It's not for everyone, like the 20, but those that have the means can enjoy whatever their art is regardless of what others think its worth.

Not sure I'd put a Cig 20 in the class with a Picasso but the analolgy is right on...there are many "collectors" out there, artwork, coins, wine, cars, etc.

The Cig 20 is a limited build from perhaps the most recognizable name in the performance boating industry...and they are a blast to tool around in. I live on a lake and all I have to do is drop the lift and go...it is the PERFECT ride during the week when the weekenders are away.

BTW it's loud and everyone looks!

I agree. The Cig's have better lines than what Picasso scribbled on the canvas.

I'm on board with that!

Oh I'm sure there are others that find them overpriced, but they aren't the people they are selling to.

I'm not sure why you'd imply anyone would lie about one recently selling for $65k? Both the owner & many others can easily confirm it. The boat was one of the ones Phil built a few years ago with brand new everything, and the current owner just wanted to move it.

That's just one of quite a few that have sold for WELL over the $50k mark, and like I said, the ones being built brand new, are comfortably over $100k. I don't think many would spend that if they were boat-less & shopping, but someone looking for maybe a 2nd, or definitely 3rd boat to play with on days they don't want to get their bigger boat out, are all over these.

The little Donzi's & Apache's have a cult following too, there are just a LOT of the Donzi's out there, & hardly any of the Apaches that have been fixed up. The Apaches also were outboards for the most part.

Did not know they still built the 20' new?I did know 100k for the last new one I seen a few with outboards but they are made for I/O just my 02!65k for a new 22' Donzi is also a high price but if I really wanted one I guess I'd pay it?I'm not the type to sit at the dock admiring my boat usage is important also resale they all will be losing value collector or not! Small boat get togethers almost had me buy the hustler with tow vehicle included for less then a new 20'?? I realized it was ego not common sence but I see your point kinda!Peace out&shop it out before paying those #'s you'll enjoy it much more!Take care drive safe!

I have to agree, at the higher prices, the ones that come up are sold almost immediately, the 15-20 k ones are sitting longer because people know that they will have to put money into them. The redone ones are the shiznit. for a second fun boat.

Club what boat do u have Sweatness?
