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

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.
