Never heard of one until now. Is the story in the ad true?

That was Miklos's old boat. He commissioned it's build and should know all about it. It's all true. It's a very unique, one-of-a-kind boat.

Pretty sure it is. I was looking at buying a firefox a couple of years back. I heard they resurected the mold just for that boat. The mold had been sitting for a long time and required a lot of work to make it right. I'd also heard they had a real hard time making that boat with the old mold.

I was at Cigarette when the molds were pulled out to build Steve's boat. They had been sitting out in the yard and had some water in them but were in perfect shape. They were under the shed behind building #2 which kept them out of the elements. They were built to last. Lots of steel reinforcement.

That boat was a perfect F-1 boat when the class was in the 80mph zone. Once you got it over 82mph it was a handful. When the phantons and extremes hit the class the speeds were to much to keep up with the little Cig.

I would buy it in a second if I was in the right place.
