revolution 188
 

HI new guy here I have been looking at cafe's and top gun's trying to make up my mind, and then a rev 188 shows up for sale I don't know what to make of them. is there anything I should know? is there a cliff notes 101 on them.
thanks

In my opinion very cool styling.

Things to look for.

- deck was very heavy due to the pods and proned to stress cracks.

- Bottom was not stiff enough on early versions. Cigarette fix most of them by adding chicken feet under the engines between the stringers.

Very popular in Europe.

I don't love the styling and would most likely shy away from them for that reason. I think that relative to the TG they would be a hard resale....

What was the difference between a Revolution and a Revolution 188?

There is one in our marina. I think it has small 174 b&m's on it with TRS's. not a real fast boat, but cool looking.

I see one is a 188 edition and the other is just a regular one. Were the 188 ones made on Thunderboat Row? Its kind of confusing:eek:

188's
 

The 188's and Revolutions were all made on 188th Street. Cigarette stopped production of the 188's and Revolutions long before they moved off of 188th Street.
