What do you think a good number is for a 21 cigarette OB? I have the opportunity to pick one up with a trashed interior and 3.0L merc OB. Also has a new transom.

Tex have you investigated this one? The guy who owns it posts over on donzi.net I believe. I'm kinda hunting a 21-22 OB v-hull too. I think I'd rather find a Challenger or Superboat though. Not too many of these Cigs made like this.

Yes I have. Talked with the guy for a while, but haven't seen the boat. Supposed to be in very good condition, but needs a little upholstery work which I don't mind. Hard to gauge the value of these boats. That one has been for sale for over a year and half, but he started at $17,500. I'd like the price a lot more of it had a 250+hp OB. I may still buy it less power.

I'm looking at another one in LA, was a hurricane damaged boat that got damaged on the side around the rear hatch. Its all white with old school hocky stick red strip and "smokin" on the side They did a lot of glass work and redid the transom, but I don't know to what extent the damage was. It needs alot of work to the interior - new upholstery, gauges moved back to original location, needs floor covering, rubrail, windshield etc. Probably needs atleast $5-7K in work. I'm working on picking it up as a partial trade for my 28 apache, but don't know how easy it would be to sell the hull if I decided not to finish it out. Would be perfect for IO conversion.

Some nice restored superboats and challengers on scream and fly for sale. If I could pick up this cigarette would you be interested in buying it? Send me a PM if your interested.

here's one that i think is worth a look if it still for sale...

I agree with sean. O.C.'s boat would be a great project.

I spoke to OC the other day and I believe his boat is sold. Yet if you are seriously interested the boat is definately worth following up on. The boat is a very nice original starting point.

Hi Fred,

If you don't mind since you know OC, can you confirm it is sold?

I am very interested if it is still available...my CIG 24 needs a playmate :-)

Plus I am going to be in the DC area tomorrow....and the hitch on my dually is gonna be empty..LOL

Thanks,

Dave

78CIG24,
I PM him and asked if it was definately sold or not. He may reply directly to the forum. If he replies to me directly I will let you know.

So none of you guys interested in a 21 cig? Curious why not? They are wider and heavier hulls and have a straight deep V unlike the 20's rounded bottom. For what you will have into any 20 restoration this one could be easily converted to I/O. Also sits much higher off the water than the 20. Then there is the gladiator style seating and throttle set up. Thought you guys would be jumping at the bit.

Some of us old geezers that love the CIG 20s and 24s aren't big fans of egg beaters.... I can't speak for the other, but I have a CIG 24 for the heavy(er) deep V stuff, would like to get a CIG 20 for my wife to play around with.

BUT, I would trade that and toss in a virgin F233 Deep V never rigged hull for your APACHE!! I Like that boat, very NICE!!

Cheers,

Dave

Dave -

Thanks for your interest but a gentleman put a hefty down payment on my 20. I'm glad it's going to a good home, it will have a 28 Playmate there.

I could maybe take the cigarette 24. Please send some pics to [email protected]

I know its an egg beater boat, but the hatch space is so big you can easily convert it to a inboard without moving the bulkhead and it has been done on atleast two 21's that I know of. There is a pic on here of a 21 that was converted and sitting in the water it looks like it was made for an inboard. Looked sick and sold in 3 days at Shogren.

Hi Barry,

Thanks for taking the time to update me(us) on the 20! Wish I had seen it sooner!

Sounds like it is indeed going to a good home. I am confident anyone that already has a CIG 20,24,28 will take good care of another one of that breed!

IF, for some odd reason the deal fails thru, please let me know.

Cheers,

Dave
