Thank goodness. If you want quality, you have to pay.

Yep...and phone calls are just that, anyone can dial a phone and make an offer, means nothing......go look at a boat with cash in your hand, and the diesel engine idling on the dually ready to take it away..and strange things happen.

FWIW, I just picked it up for $90K cash!!!




















I WISH, nice CIG!!!!! :-)

The boat does not have what I would consider Teal, It has a off white fade, like a Tommy Bahamma color combo. I have a shirt that matches it perfect. Here are a few pix I have of it.

Quality is not expensive, it's priceless

You guys keep trying to beat him up. That boat is an excellent buy at even a higher price. And I dont say that about many boats.

And for you guys that keep saying show up with cash and an idling truck, you will be wishing you had asking price because it is that nice of a boat. It is all ready low balled at asking price.

FWIW, I'd much rather pay a premium for a nice clean piece from the start than have the headaches involved in retoring a project. It's draining.....

Personally, I like the colors, they work well and it's done right by Grafikworx.

Nice boat,

Kurt

I've been eyeing it. If I only had another 20k I would be in it.

This boat was originally built for a very good friend of mine. All of his boats are built to a higher standard than your typical Cigarette as mine was. Weekly trips to the factory and daily conversations with Neil and Phil go along way to producing a better boat. It has a lot of extras. Some you see, some you don't. The paint is understated, but has some of Harold's signature fades and is very impressive in person. Even the entire deck has been cleared and shines incredibly! This was one of the first boats to have ITS and had the motors upgraded to 525's when it was a couple years old. Boats of this quality are not found everywhere.
So, when someone brings up the point of T/S guns being available for under $100K, by the way which I can't seem to find, one saying immediately comes to mind." You can pay now or you can pay later, but you will pay".
