Hahahaha. Everybody loves classics Jason! Mine is like a 70 Chevelle, and yours is like a new Malibu SS. So there are differences. but your comparing a 2007 Baja to a 1992 Cigarette. So to be fair, lets compare the prices of a 2007 Cig to a 2007 Baja and youll find there much more value in the Cig. In this sh!tty market, people can still swing a cheaper performance boat, thats why yours sold so fast. Its funny that your on a Cig thread trying to compare the sale of your Baja to the sale of a Cig !! You should be ashamed. Now seeing you brought my boat into this, the real differences between OUR boats are: I can still get ALL of my money back, even after the new engines. AND, the old classic is STILL faster than your Baja ! But the question I have here is, what an ex-Baja owner doing on a Cigarette thread???Hmmmmmm......I think you would look good in a Top Gun ! ...PS, what kind of boat are you going to be on this weekend?????????

Almost forgot...If you think you are going to get ALL the $$$ back you have in your boat....or any boat...you will be just like the other guy on this thread that's had his boat for sale for 3 years. Everything has its value. And unlike a 70 Chevelle...your classic's value is not improving.

Hahahhahaha.. Wow,you took that personally! I was simply saying that you cant compare the sale of your boat to the sale of a Top Gun. Once again some one in this thread offended you by bringing up the "B" word, so you jumped down his throat cause he said something negative about Baja's. I believe it was a joke, but maybe Im wrong. Your very sensitive......are you pregnant? You can call my boat an old ass/classic/antique boat all you want. I actually enjoy wrenching on it. My boat has gone over 80 MPH because I put it there myself, that feels good to me. Plus, if mine is an old ass boat, so is Franks and Charlies. All early nineties boats. So Frank, get your old ass boat ready for Sunday !!!!! I NEVER said "if theres not a #1 on the side, its not worth boating". Ill eat those words if you can quote me on that!...Oh, who is Dominic with the Skater? Dont know him. But if there not a #1 on the side of his boat,....its NO Cigarette!!!!!!Hahahahah!!!! Just kidding

You are right there they do have alot of money into them, but do you really think you would get out all of the money that you put in? or even close it is still a 20+ year old boat and no matter how much money you throw at it the year won't change

Sorry I said the "B" word early in the post and started this mess. I was just joking. I'm just like the older Cigarettes because the hulls are so strong. 1994 and NO stress cracks. The survey company told me a baja will have more stress cracks in the hull in ONE year than a Cigarette will have in 10 years. Older Cigarettes are slower, but built tuff. Anyway, I'll check this post Friday to see what I just started again. By the way... Cigarettes are better!

Yes, it went to CT. I hope the guy doesn't hurt himself in it, he seemed a bit green.

While I agree there is no where near the following for old boats as there is for cars, there is still a niche market for restored / updated classic boats. We all know it can get expensive fast to upgrade old hardware, but if you start with a solid foundation, and use quality pieces, you can end up not so upside down. I agree there is some value in the branding. Is a cig a better boat than a baja / formula / scarab / etc? We can argue that all day, but when it comes to "classic" offshore boats, they clearly have a distinctly higher market value compared to most other boats of the same age.

LMAO!! 
Mine eats my savings account...and gasoline!! But that is still better than having a monthly payment! For instance...this year it's gotten a completely new exhaust system and new cockpit interior. I budget for something to upgrade each year to keep it going instead of running it down until it needs everything done. There always will be the unexpected breakage that happens....that's when it hurts!!

restored to origional maybe runs it once or twice a year Tol.d me once..."Every time I walk by it in the shop, It makes me smile. Worth keeping her just because of that"
I never forgot him saying that and, I feel the exact same way !
It also happens to be the first big Cigarette to be brought up here, And the one that started this Cigarette addiction for me 111
