American Muscle History Lesson?
Can anyone give me the history of this boat: http://www.pier57.com/200446CigAmericanMuscle.htm
I'm interested in it, but I want to know more about it. I'm ready to upgrade from my 35 Outlaw.
Thanks,
Ed

I'm pretty sure the 1075's that are in it, are the newest style. The originaly ones lasted quite a bit longer than 100 hours according to Bud at Cigarette, and I've seen quite a few other sets go quite a bit over 100 hours as well. The Mercury rebuild is $20ish a side though, if nothing is broken.
That's the first of the three AM boats. It's nearly identical to the Stealth & Rum Runner boats. Not really much else to tell about it. The paint was done by BASF, it was in the Fort Lauderdale Show when it was new, and was the Cigarette factory Poker Run boat for a season or so.
It's been for sale for awhile. I have no idea what it would be worth, being sort of a unique design. It's a 46 Rough Rider, with a custom cockpit & cabin.

That boat belonged to a friend of ours for awhile. He was the "first" owner of it. As B Lee said, it was used as Cigarettes poker run boat for awhile. When Hideaway was a Cigarette dealer they got the boat and sold it to our friend. He used it for about a year or two and rebuilt the motors in, drives, etc. he didn't always have the best of luck with it but it was always serviced with an open checkbook. He ended up trading it to Pier57 on a new 42X w/700's and they've had it ever since.

Just interesting story on this boat
Skip at Cigarette had this boat delivered to my house 2 weeks before Smoke On The Water Poke Run along along with Mike Flamburis 42' cig
I also had Dr Daves 50' Nortech Cat and our own 38 Cig all in our driveway at the same time When i opened the garage i was staring(or drooling) at the back of the Muscle boat every morning for two weeks
My neighbors were starting to wonder what Lottery i had won
VERY COOL BOAT

My boat was totally gone through and rebuilt a year ago to the tune of 150K.
Probably get that one for 250K, but you'll have to put some coin into it. Can get mine in the neighborhood of upper 3's.
