Cigarette Awesome
 

Hey guys, im looking at a 1995 35' cigarette Awesome, i've been told that if the toilet has playing cars and like poker chips its called a "poker run ed" i was wondering if this was true..?? also was told it was a kevlar hull..? is that true to ? this boat has twin 498's there bored over 30 on a 454. was wondering what u guys thought about this boat. interior was all re done. newer drop down bolsters, all guages are also updated, brand new carpet. all the boat really needs is a newer updated cuddy. please let me know. im looking at the boat for like 25,000 on a tripple axel trailer. please let me know

----A 30 over 454 is a 460 not a 498. Just thought I would mention it.......Bill S

It looks to have been nicely redone... We used to own a flatdeck 35'... Not the fastest but surely one great ride..........1

Agreed, looks nicely done.
Same hull as the mistress, but w/ the raised deck.

Very COol!!

is it worth 25000?????

Looks nice

What drives and their condition? Probably TRS. What transmissions? Hydraulic steering?

I would get a survey done by someone who knows old boats. It doesn't matter how well it was built originally, 35 years can do a lot of damage, especially when there is wood and water involved.

The trailer looks short in the picture that you have. It should extend to the transom.

$25K is about what I'll have into my Mistress when its all completely done.

I have a 1975 Awesome ,runs about 63-64 on gps with 502 MPI s and Bravo XR drives.Great boat in rough water. Picked it up about a year ago for about the same price that they are asking. Love the boat.

ewpe: do u have more pics of the boat and also.. this is a wierd question but is it the orginal toilet u have in the boat or was the orginal in it,, did it have pokerchips and playing cards on it?

theres only been 2 orginal owners of this boat first had it for 35 years and the other 15, this boat has not one spider crack or crack in the gelcoat on the whole boat, wich led me to the whole kevlar hall theroy And then talking to some people they have said the ones with the toilet seat like pictured was called a poker run edition wich was a kevlar hall. the boat has 454's bord over and the guy said he had it at 70 on gps wich also makes sence if it is a kevlar hall..

The toilet was plain, no playing cards.and it was the original. More photos attached

I don't think poker runs were around back in 1975.
Or at least not heavily associated w/ boats. Not as much as where'd they'd cover the crapper in cards...

Good point!

see i said the same thing. now looking up info and taking the info the guy told me about it, it makes scence tho.. reason for the no spider cracks or cracks, for being a 75 there has to be one or two but theres not so that what makes scence to me about the kevlar hull and that is the orginal tiolet seat and no one put them on there, also look how differnt the dash is then yours, look at my engine compartment, how come it looks so much bigger then yours ??

I know this has gone by the wayside for a while, but I am the 2nd owner and the one who restored it. It had been sitting on a trailer for 15 yrs while 1st owner was in prison. I gutted it and started over. Decided on the 90+ Top Gun theme. Took 6 years to fully restore. When I rebuilt motors in 2002 they were pushing just over 500 hp. About 60 mph. Where is it now? I sent many photos to the 4th owner of my restoration. I think in upstate NY. Where is she now?

PS...Trailer is a '97 So. Fl trailers. Looks like theres a new windshield, Mine was the original black one. I designed and built dash myself. No it is not Kevlar or a Poker Run Edition, but the original toilet seat is "Awesome"! She has no cracks because I spent untold $1000s resurfacing the hull BEFORE I painted her...Whoever now has it has a perfectly restored boat...Take care of her! There are only a small handful left...
